Lyn and Line Releases New M&F Android App Game
Fans of the first Madera and Figaro game for the Apple iPhone will be happy to know that the app that features the two lead characters is now out for the Android smart phone.
The Madera and Figaro series is not really made for adults but for folks living with children (who are old enough to not damage a smart phone). This is an excellent way to keep children entertained and teach them a few useful lessons at the same time.
App developer Lyn and Line has been making plenty of child oriented apps –practically adding a new way to deliver a storybook experience with the help of smart phone technology. Many game designers have already tried making interactive children’s storybooks for desktop computers, but the medium simply does not translate well to children who are not too apt to tinker around with a keyboard and mouse.
The touch screen user interface on the other hand is completely intuitive, which makes the smart phone an excellent platform for digital interactive content aimed at children.
The new Madera and Figaro game focuses on the intrepid duo’s attempts to track down Ginger, the missing cat owned by Mrs. Applebottom. Donning their superhero costumes, the two lead characters transform into Carbon Girl and Adhero (which is basically a play on their characters as Madera is a monkey and Figaro is a frog).
Children will certainly enjoy the puzzle based gameplay which provides a wide variety of visual tasks. There is a combination of basic finger dexterity challenges and some simple brain teasers that will tune positively at a child’s inquisitive nature. The images are simple and easy to understand, and parents will certainly enjoy the educational value of the app.
A second Madera and Figaro title has also been released as well; the new game places the two lead characters in and new story with new puzzles and challenges.
