Pretty entry for fun. These little games was pleasant. I want more. Nice photographs in background. Why you haven't added some music? Thank you ++

I thought that the combination of cut-out figures and photographic backgrounds worked very well.

I thought the game had crashed but it turned out I had to press spacebar to start the game. :-) Nice graphics.

I like the greyscale background with the colorful characters. When throwing the banana, if you have too much force the bananas seem to go through the cars but otherwise fun to play.

Very creative! I liked throwing bananas at cars. Now it just needs more scenes.

Love the storybook characters combined with the photograph backgrounds. Makes for a unique visual feel. I liked the decision to go with little scenes with different mechanics, it kept things fresh throughout. I died on the banana-car bit and had to start over! I'm going to try to beat it again.

A perfect game for a kid learning to read !
Probably because my inner kid is too lazy or slightly too old, because the game wanted me to restart all the story from the beginning I've stopped playing after a car crashed into my elephant.
I don't know if you tried this game with real children and how they behaved when they had to restart from the beginning, but maybe it could be a plus to have at least a second chance just after a fail.

you used space for attacking and for the text skip :/ i kept pressing space, but doing that i hardly had a chance to read the text for additional buttons
a forced pause or simply a different button would have been nice

That was really nice, the graphical style was great. The punishment for death is pretty harsh - go back to the beginning

Nice artwork with photo cut-outs on a big photograph.
The mini-games are simple overall.
