Zoombinis - Logic Puzzles Game 9+

Searched for this game for yeeaarrss hoping to be able to play a childhood favorite again. It’s awesome and just as I remember it! I just wish there were more levels for the cost. 12 lvls just doesn’t seem like that much bc once you pay for it and have unlimited play, you’d be through them all in no time I think. Still super happy to see the game again though just like the original!

On a hunch, I did a search in the App Store for the Zoombinis and was stunned to see that it was there in its original form. I just couldn’t wait to play! This is my favorite piece of software ever! As a teacher, I use to play with my third graders and I played it at home as did my friends. The kids utterly loved the adorable blue creatures on their escapades to reach the home of the Zoombinis. They literally begged to play and I acquiesced. The logic skills they picked up! If I had to pick one piece of software for primary school students, I’d select the Zoombinis.

In the beginning, each Zoombini receives cute little attributes for their hair, eyes, noses, and feet which they are most often grouped by in the endearing puzzles. I’m at the beginning level right now and I’m running into problems with the Tatooted Toads. I’m just going to have to keep it at it. Also something as minor as how do I move the lever to get the cart to go in at junction in Mirror Machine?

As a teacher and as a former kid, I give the Zoombinis the highest recommendation possible. It is true to the 1980‘s form of the game with authentic music, graphics and gameplay. I want to see MORE of the Zoombini games, please!! As it is, I will recommend it to every kid, parent and grandparent I come across. I think I’ll do that right now!

Zoombinis was our family’s favorite game to play when I was a kid! My sister and I would argue over who got play on the computer first. When I heard they recreated the game into an app I was ECSTATIC! I looked up the app and saw the pictures. Everything is almost identical to the PC version. I begged my husband for an iPad for Christmas just to play this game and it has not disappointed. The nostalgia is overwhelming lol. It took me back to 8 year old me. I immediately started quoting the pizza trolls and the narrator; I was even shocked I remembered it all. I love that they used the same voices for the characters. I really REALLY hope that they recreate more of the Zoombini games!! This game is worth buying an iPad to play!

The only thing I did not like is the much much lower number of Zoombinis to get to Zoombiniville. The app has 400 while I remember the computer game having over 1000.
