App description

In this game the player begins in a fire station and can click on certain characters that prompt the player to find objects hidden around the fire station. When the fire alarm goes, the player must click on all characters to get them to slide down the fire pole and into the truck. The firefighting team then travel to the site of several rescue jobs including fires and kitten rescues. This game may assist in developing observation, fine motor, time management and problem solving skills.

 

Reviewers comments

The menu or start screen has an icon that can take the player straight to the developer’s other games in Google Play, which cost money. There is also a shopping cart icon that can take children to a screen with the option of upgrading the game. This has a mathematical problem that has to be solved before the player can get into Google Play to purchase these updates. When online, a young player may find this easy to do, however this game still functions well without connection to the internet.
