Great for your child
It makes the child feel like a powerful creator whose drawings come to life in a beautiful world.
Great for you
The game turns the controller into a collaborative tool, making it easy to assist your child without taking over.
Parent notes
The game is entirely offline and safe from stranger interaction. Monitor the 'Scraps' enemies if your child is particularly sensitive to mild cartoon peril.
The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
While the companion app lets a second player draw cutouts to beam onto the screen, the campaign is fundamentally single-player, so one person is usually watching rather than holding a primary role.
Skills this builds
- Using the companion app to draw custom cutouts while the other person navigates
- Passing the controller back and forth during tricky touch-pad throwing sections
- Spotting hidden paper scraps together across tucked-away corners of the map
Try this together
When the game prompts for a new snowflake design, let your child sketch the shape on a phone or tablet using the companion app while you hold the controller.
