Did you know that cleaning the toilet, mopping the floor and recycling trash can be fun? Just call them "mini-games". There are 20 such jobs found in Dr. Panda's Home, where a tribe of animated animal characters host each challenge to help you earn coins to unlock prizes. If you've played a Dr. Panda app in the past, you'll appreciate the extra content in this app. Nice touches include a full night-day cycle, so they might make breakfast in the morning and set an alarm clock at night. You can get out of any activity at any time, and there's no way to fail; for example incorrect matches just fall to the ground. There is no print and no language, which represents a missed learning opportunity, and the sorting levels are pretty haphazard. We also noticed that some of the graphics seem hurriedly done. In once case after you brush your monkey's teeth, they disappear. But these are minor points that children will happily overlook, as they mop the floor. Learn more at http://www.drpandagames.com.
