Mild and Mellow's Holiday Light
© 2014 Loud Crow Interactive Inc.
This is an interactive collage with illustrations made from real objects. The result is a visually interesting, responsive holiday app. Note that this is one of the "Windy & Friends" series. See also Windy’s Lost Kite, Foggy’s Big Fright and Sunny’s Dark Night. Mild and Mellow's Holiday Light is a Christmas story that combines handcrafted paper dolls with stop-motion animation. A parents menu lets you select Read to Me or Autoplay modes, and you can toggle between English and French on-the-fly. Adult controls are hidden beneath a firewall puzzle. Made with the Verso story engine. Need to know: It feels like there's a limited amount of content. We didn't like how the app promotes other Loud Crow apps from the first menu, and asks you to "rate this app" on the last page. These are minor criticisms.
