Labo Train
© 2015 Labo Lado Inc.
Can you get your train to the end of the track without spilling your load of apples? That's the challenge with this well designed app that combines creativity, bridge building, physics, shape matching and timing all in one app. While there are a few design quirks, the overall idea of letting children decorate a train, and then allowing them to drive it over a road with bridges that requires repair without spilling a load of apples is solid, and it succeeds in giving them an authentic challenge. The more courses you unlock, the more stickers and designs you unlock. Progress is saved automatically. This is an ideal app for a slightly older child (late four or five) that is ready for a challenge. There's plenty of content, including 14 colors, 46 train templates, 15 types of tires, 20 stickers, four scenes (daytime, night, rain, snow) and 24 levels with over 40 broken roads to fix. Features include the the ability to toggle the background music on/off. The best part? The creative train wrecks. There is no language required to use the app. Availavble in English, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese.
