Overview
This app invites toddlers and preschoolers to explore a digital playground set in outer space. Players control the dog Harvey as he investigates every asteroid, planet, and way station.
How to Play
When kids tap on adorable dog Harvey's doghouse, he dons an astronaut suit to blast into the unknown. Players use their finger to lead the dog between planets and asteroids to interact with aliens and robots. Inviting yellow star-like blobs appear to let kids know they have found a spot where an interaction can occur. Most have a surprising and silly animation, such as an alien with a hotdog stand that serves Harvey a yucky pickle.
The app invites players to find the more than 30 surprises hiding in this animated space adventure. Harvey can meet all sorts of aliens, interact with a variety of robots, and zip around in flying saucers and much more.
Why This App is Fun
This playset shines for its unexpected behaviors. Land next to a robot sporting a red heart, and its arms extend to pull Harvey into a bear hug. Come close to a kitty floating in a hot air balloon, and she will throw Harvey a ball. This digital playground expands kids' imaginations to soar beyond our world.
