Fans of dream team developer Sago Sago will be interested to know about their new app, Sago Mini Fairy Tales, which creates a landscape where children can move about while interacting with many different characters and objects - here with a distinct fairy tale theme that children will enjoy.
Sago Mini Fairy Tales stars Jinga the Cat - a character Sago Sago fans will recognize from many of their other apps - complete with the addition of fairy wings that allow this kitty to fly about the magical forest in which she lives. And also allowing children to explore many different characters and devices in this open-ended app. Navigation is a simple drag from a finger, which will allow Jinga to move about the page to discover many mini-adventures from touching upon the Sword in the Stone to taking a nibble from the witch’s house from Hansel and Gretel. Children will enjoy the cameos from familiar characters, including Harvey the Dog who dresses as Rapunzel, or Robin, the pretty pink bird that children will remember as well, here styled as Robin Hood - a charming inclusion that will make adults smile.
I admire the look of this app, with a different palette of colors seen in the related Sago Mini Forest Flyer, which also take place in a forest setting yet includes a crisp blue sky - a contrast to the chance to admire the evening’s sunset colors seen peeking between the clouds and over the distant mountain peaks within this app. I also admire the use of ambient sounds such as crickets and sounds of a waterfall that add to this app's magical tone, which also makes it a relaxing activity one can enjoy before bed.
