CTR Review

Touch and discover dozens of delightful surprises in two pirate-themed scenes. After you create and dress the crew members, you can freely explore. You quickly discover that many of the items are part of a short skit that relates to the overall theme. We liked how the crew member you dress is integrated in the scene. One minor drawback...this app has a lot of details and some of the items look small, even on the oversized iPad Pro screen. Things to try: Load the ship by rolling barrels and stacking the crates. Raise both sails to travel faster. If you like this app, you might also like Tiny Airport (CTR Sept 2014).
