Teaches: a virtual world

CTR Review

My Tiny Planets is a richly illustrated virtual universe, where you can own and decorate your own planet. There are both single and multiplayer games, and an over-arching game that involves increasing in rank, exploring the universe and flying spaceships from one planet to another. Paid content includes some episodes of Tiny Planets TV, or premium avatars' accessories in My Tiny Planets. If you spend enough, you can add your scores to the leader boards, and get better decorations for your asteroid planet. Parents can purchase special features with KEYs. To buy KEYs, you'll need to set up a parent account, and then link that parent account to your children's player accounts. With your parent account you can purchase KEYs and then allocate them to any of your children. KEYs are sold in packages through Social Gold.
