Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw Quest
SCORE: 88
We love to find games that are great for
kids. Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw Quest came across our path and it looked
fantastic. I put in our review request, and this iPad game came in.
Family Friendly Gaming loves to try kids games on real children. You
would be amazed how many things children find in games that an adult
would not notice. Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw Quest is a fun little game
that has players on a pirates quest. The pirate is a squid.
The graphics in Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw Quest are bright and colorful.
Children put colored pieces on top of the less colored background. We
only ran into problems with one of the puzzle pages. That was because we
did not comprehend the scene was changing. The animation on the world
screen is great. I love how nice this little sea area looks. The
islands, the ship, and more look fantastic.
Kids love pirates. Kids also love ninjas, but that is not a part of this
game. The squid makes a fantastic pirate, and with no violence. How
great is that? Kids learn to follow the game from place to place. At the
end they discover a treasure. I will not spoil that for you. The special
effect sounds and the music is amazing for a ninety-nine cent game. The
voice actor is another story. In fact there were a few negative comments
about that facet of this iPad game. In fact it was the only negative
comments.
Most kids games cheapen out in terms of bonus features. Kids collect
coins in Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw Quest which are redeemed at the
lobsters store. There are some really cool goodies that can be purchased
in his store. All the music, all the puzzles, etc. Family Friendly
Gaming was provided a download code to review Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw
Quest. With that said I believe this app is worth the price. Kids will
enjoy completing the puzzles and sailing around the islands.
Our six year old was able to quickly learn how to play Captain Squiddy's
Jigsaw Quest, and to complete puzzles. He never once needed any
assistance from me. I am very proud of him for beating this game. He was
also pleased with the treasure in the treasure chest. As an adult I
actually found myself enjoying the puzzles in Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw
Quest. They are not challenging to my age bracket but that is okay. It
is not meant to be. Sometimes it is great to enjoy the simpler things in
life.
The main lesson in Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw Quest is matching. Find
where each piece belongs, and put it in the right spot. There are also
verbal directions in this game that the child must follow to progress to
the next area. I love the characters in Captain Squiddy's Jigsaw Quest.
There is a lot of creativity that went into this hand held title. I hope
to see sequels in the future.
