Zoombinis reviews

Zoombinis is a game intended for children first of all, the Zoombinis are characters of old video games that have sold well in the world market except in Europe. Those who played there when they were young are now young parents and they take a great longing when they see the Zoombinis. It's a children's game. It definitely has no interest for an adult (not even a milligram) but will appeal to all the youngest. The problem is that the game targets the English-speaking children and also the Spanish-speaking ones, the others, no. So, for French-speaking children, why not, the game is very intuitive but you will not enjoy 100%. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=574654007 to discover all my impressions on Zoombinis.

The Odyssey of the Zoombinis by launching the game this morning, very good memories have resurfaced. When I was released in 1996, I was 9 years old. This was one of the few video games my parents agreed to offer me. They saw it as a playful way to improve my observation and logic and reflection faculties, while having fun. And they were not wrong. Playing it is part of these crucial moments that made me discover and love the video game. The Zoombinis is a small puzzle game-educational-originally called "the logical journey of the Zoombinis". For Yes, as I said, everything will be about reflection and logic. You will start by creating your Zoombinis. They will be differentiated by their hair type, the eyes, the color of the nose and their means of movement: feet, bike, rollers etc... And all the logic of the tables will be based on the similarities and differences of your Zoombinis. Excepted some mini-games like "the good, the brute and the greedy" where you will have to make the right pizza, with the right ingredients (Ahhh, nostalgia). The goal of the game is to travel your Zoombinis to Zoombiniville, the risk being to leave behind you, in case of partial success to the puzzle. Glogably, the mini-games are original, intelligently made and fun. You'll enjoy it to meet more wacky characters than others! You will also have the choice of difficulty: from "not so easy" to "very very hard" to train you. In the "journey" mode, access to the difficulty modes will be unlocked when you have been able to pass enough Zoombinis. I only regret that there is no French version. Especially since the VF was part of the original game. But what a pleasure to find this game that rocked a part of my childhood. I mean, my 9 years.
