24 games

Children in the early school years want to feel competent, and junior games are built to let them. The controls are simple but real: steer a character, time a jump, pick the right answer. The stages are short and the mistakes are forgiving. A session might run through five or six stages with a star rating on each, and a child can see themselves improving.

How to play

1Press Play and look for the instruction or picture that shows the stage goal.
2Move with arrow keys or the on-screen pad, and tap or press space to jump, grab or answer.
3Watch for moving obstacles and wait for a gap rather than rushing.
4At the end of each stage, tap next or replay for a higher rating.
