Peekaboo Barn
Though the saying “the best things in life are frequently the simplest things,” it is true that sometimes the simplest things are the best things. iPhone applications are a fantastic example; many of the finest applications are simple tools or games that perform one or two tasks exceptionally well. Peekaboo Barn, developed by Night & Day Studios, is an excellent example of a children’s game that provides straightforward, well-crafted fun for toddlers without a lot of flash, dash, or fluff.
In the eyes of a more seasoned gamer, the premise may appear to be astonishingly simple: view the barn, hear the sound, tap on the door to unlock it, and then see the animal. As a result, toddlers learn sounds by hearing the animal’s call before the barn door opens, cause and effect by tapping the barn door to open it, as well as to recognize and name the animals.
The UI of the game is nicely thought out, and it takes no more than one or two taps to get things going. Both the audio and the artwork — which was created by New Yorker regular Divya Srinivasan — are of high quality and pleasing to the eye. Although the Spanish language option is convenient, I must admit that it left me longing for more language alternatives. French and Mandarin are the first two that come to mind.
