Snow Day
© 2017 Sago Mini
Does the world need an other swipe-to-move driving app? Yep, especially if it involves a theme that every child dreams about. Available as an option in Sago Mini World as well as a stand-alone app for $2.99, Snow Day recycles the play pattern used in Sago Mini Road Trip. You start by choosing one of 16 holiday-themed sleds (including a hot dog), and populate each with one of five Sago Mini animal characters. Next you test different sled runs. As you move, you can swipe up to launch your sled into the sky (say, to pop balloons), or stop to visit different creativity stations. There is a lot of reused content from other apps, but the themes are new. This app supports multi-touch and is a great sharing experience, and there's enough variance in the sledding runs to keep things interesting. The app works without WiFi or internet, and there are no ads or worrisome content. Need to know: The app is available to first to paid subscribers of Sago Mini World, and will be available later as a stand alone app for iOS, Google Play and Amazon.
