BATOVI Games Studio

Save the world’s pigs from an alien invasion in The Abduction of Bacon at Dawn.

It’s for fans of platformers.

Why we picked this?

Scientists have confirmed that eating bacon is not only vital to human health but all living things as well. That’s why the aliens have descended upon our planet. They intend to steal our entire supply of pigs. The only thing that stands in their way is one brave rooster. You’re able to run, jump, and fire upon your enemies using on-screen controls. Dodge enemy fire while blasting the tentacles off of alien spaceships in order to ensure the safety of every pig. The game offers a wide variety of weapons and upgradable armor.

If you enjoy games that don’t take themselves too seriously, this is the platformer for you.

It’s a pretty standard affair if you choose not to pay attention to the humor packed into every level.

The app will present your child with a cute and colorful object, and they must find all of the matching ones at the bottom of the screen. Each object is accompanied by hand-clapping music and rhyming narration. The app includes over 100 objects to discover.

If you want to give your child a head start, Ask Me Colors and Shapes offers a great way to do it. It promotes cognitive development and will sharpen your child’s motor skills.

If you have a child outside of the age range listed above, the app will simply be too much or too little for them.

Sago Mini

Your children can create and share their own colorful monsters with Sago Mini Monsters.

It’s the perfect app to keep your children’s little fingers busy.

$3.99 $3.99
Why we picked this?

Sago Mini Monsters allows your child’s creative side to shine. They get to start off by painting the face of a colorful monster. It will then grow horns, eyes, and a mouth. Just tap and drag each piece to switch it out with another. The monster can be fed with the food that floats to the top of the goo from which it came. Once the monster has had its fill it will need its teeth brushed. Other objects will also randomly float to the top of the goo, which can be applied to the monster before it gets its photo taken.

If your child enjoys art, they’ll love Sago Mini Monsters. The colorful monsters are irresistible, and your child can truly make it their own.

If you have a relatively young child, Sago Mini Monsters may be too much for him to handle. Not because it has monsters in it, but because the interaction method may be outside of their skill level.
