DreamWorks Dinotrux: Trux it Up!
© 2016 Fox and Sheep GmbH
Jump into a high energy rock quarry and interact with five Dinotrux creatures, as seen in the Netflix series from DreamWorks. The transformer-like truck/dino machines look amazing, and the convergence of two high interest topics (construction machines and dinosaurs) works like a charm, despite some clumsy control mechanics that require a learning curve. Your mission is to help your DinoTrux rebuild their home crater. You do this by working at each station - to breakup and throw giant rocks, move them around, grind them up, and stack them. The Dinotrux must be maintained by with spray painting, matching shapes and racing through a track. Some of the activities work with multi-touch, although this is mostly a one player experience. The sum total of all the activities makes this app a good problem solving activity. Don't mix this up with the free app with a similar title, that is not nearly as well designed. Note: App may have a lengthy install and the load times are lengthy. Need to know: there are several apps that come up in both iTunes and Google Play under the search term "DinoTrux." This review refers to the Fox and Sheep release, which costs $3.99 and has no in-app purchases, or other gimmicks.
