In this new platform style game, Wally and Norville hop around the kitchen as they gather up ingredients for their fruit salad. Their fun and excitement quickly gets out of hand when BobGoblin drops by and casts a spell on all of the fruit causing it to hop around uncontrollably. To make matters worse, Norville gets whisked away in one of the bouncing fruits. Now it's up to players and Wally to gather up the runaway fruit by bouncing, hopping, leaping or jumping, in order to save Norville and make their picnic a success.
Additionally, Kidscreen's children's digital entertainment and media news column iKids is reporting the exciting Nick news that Nickelodeon has also recently released a brand-new app based on Spin Master Entertainment's action-adventure preschool series "PAW Patrol". Not just about puppy love, the app aims to teach kids problem-solving and social skills as well.
In "Paw Patrol Rescue Run", Ryder and the pups need your child's help to save Adventure Bay! Kids join forces with the heroic pups - Chase, Marshall, Rocky, Rubble, Zuma and Skye - for various missions. After completing each task, pups and preschoolers alike are rewarded for their hard work and helpfulness with Adventure Bay badges, meant to reinforce the positive outcomes of doing good deeds.
The app promotes positive social development among preschoolers by focusing on teamwork and friendship. It also promotes problem solving among preschoolers through the concepts of classification/sorting, visual discrimination/matching, and counting/enumeration.
This new mobile app for preschoolers falls in line with Nickelodeon releasing a preschool lineup of shows that are both educational and entertaining. As more studies show that kids are using tablets and apps at increasingly younger ages, Nick is zeroing in on the preschool market with smart apps and TV shows.
PAW Patrol Rescue Run is the first and only app that lets children play with their favorite "PAW Patrol" characters! Kids can:
* Run and jump with the pups in 3 distinct locations around Adventure Bay
* Help the pups work together as a team
* Play mini-activities using the pups' special skills
* Discover humorous moments including the Pup Pup Boogie
* Collect pup treats
* Earn Adventure Bay badge awards
PAW Patrol - let's roll! Download the "PAW Patrol Rescue Run" app and save the day in Adventure Bay! The app is available to purchase in SD for $3.99 and in HD for $6.99
