The Game:

Sea Creatures is a simple learning game for young children. It is fully mouse controlled with no keyboard input necessary. There are four modes, one learning and three difficulty modes. The learning mode shows 13 images of various sea creatures for example squid, seahorse, shark, lobster etc. You just click on the animal and it tells you what it is' that's it for the learning mode; just one page of stylized images of sea creatures. The difficulty modes include Easy, Normal and Hard. Selecting easy opens up a screen with a 3 x 4 grid of blue squares with silhouettes of a sea creature in each square, all looking the same; You have to pair up various creatures that are hidden initially, that were presented in the learning mode. On completing the group, you are presented with the sound of cheering children and a shower of red and blue flowers, then you are redirected back to the main screen where you can continue to select the same mode or go for an harder one. If you select the same mode, the sea creatures have been randomly allocated to the grid, so no two match games are the same; the same goes for the other two modes. The Normal mode has a 4 x 5 grid and the hard mode has a 4 x 6 grid. That's the extent of this game. It's definitely one created for younger children. It's very simplistic, but that is probably ideal for younger children, especially as all three modes are un-timed.

Conclusion:

A simple game ideal for children from 4 to 6 years old. Would have been a much better game if it was possible to input your own images.
