The Zwuggels - A Beach Holiday Adventure for Kids Reviews

An excellent game for kids. An interactive click and point experience which my 4 year old absolutely adores. It is an excellent tool to get kids acquainted with a mouse and my 4 year old is now able to run through the game independently (under the supervision of his father of course). As a parent, you can reset game progress which allows your child to start from the beginning, which make it easier than selecting random levels that have already been finished. One of the best games for kids and enjoyable to go through for parents. As a parent, you get to read the story for your child as he or she gets to click and point through the different levels. Absolutely recommended.

Lovely family friendly game and story. My daughter has learning difficulties and she really engaged with the interactive part whilst I read the story.

I was looking for a game where my 6yr old could practice mouse skills without any pressure and this was perfect. The added reading practice really kept their attention. The story was fun and the animation is great. This is the first game they have finished on their own and immediately wanted more.

A simple game for kids getting used to computers. Simple controls, colorful graphics... this isn't going to win any Game of the Year awards, but young kids can have a lot of fun. It's great practice on how to use a mouse to control a cursor, so it's a good fine motor activity, as well!

Great game. My 4 year old and 7 year old have both played and enjoyed the game. Very good for teaching mouse movement and clicking for the younger one, and a fun story too.

Short and does not read itself. That makes no sense to me. It can be played again, and my kid enjoyed it, but she doesn't read yet, I truly do not understand why you would not have voiced the story.....

Sim UK Junior Rating (74/100) =============================== Longevity: 6 Fun: 7 Educational: 9 Positivity + Equality: 9 Replayability: 6 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5qGaWET-kk This game has won awards in Germany for PAEDI 2016 Awards Outstanding children’s software and it is easy to see why that is. The animations and illustrations are impressive and brilliantly colourful, bright and packed full of fun. Ideal for an inquisitive youngster! I wish there were more games like this, as a parent I search constantly for ways to help teach my little one in new and creative ways and sometimes an educational game is just the ticket! PROS ====== - Fun & Educational. - Beautiful animations, vibrant, happy and fun. Perfect for a child’s reading book. - Interesting storyline and characters. - Easy for early readers and more advanced readers to enjoy, even by themselves. - Each time you play there appear to be slightly different items on display in some of the chapters. This encourages repeat play (important for reading). - Fair price. CONS ====== - As good as this is I think more could have done on the assisted reading front; coloured text for important words, perhaps an option to have the words spoken….even single spoken words upon a click. This would enable young children to learn even when playing alone. - Inconsistencies around how the story Text boxes are dismissed caused a few accidental quick click dismissal incidents….As a result you don’t know exactly what to do. It is easily overcome but a frustration none the less. - Some of the chapters are way too quick…single click completion. - The game is a mobile port, nicely done but not fully utilising the PC opportunities. - Language translation is fine 90% of the time, but a small amount of questionable rhyming word selections will stand out to adults.

My 4 year old loved it. She learned how to use a mouse(tiny travel mouse) within the first stage. Finished the game in about 2-3 hours total. The cues and pointers are just enough for her to figure out what to do, we were never stumped even when she clicked pass the opening text. Its just a sound track so unless your child can read, you will need to read it for them. No controversial topics or politics. Pretty clean, well made, just long enough game. Id would gladly purchase additional chapters if they exist or come to steam. Highly recommended.

A great game for 5-6 year olds to learn to read and use the mouse and do some puzzles. Very quick game. But worth 3 bucks.

[b]Score – 8/10 (Recommended)[/b] If you don't care if an interactive storybook doesn't read itself, there's a lot to like about The Zwuggels: the game is a hoot for four and five-year-olds, it has superb artwork and it's a great opportunity for you and your child to bond as you explore the adventure together. Recommended if you're a parent seeking a family-friendly precursor to point 'n' click adventures for children. https://www.choicestgames.com/2018/04/the-zwuggels-beach-holiday-adventure.html
