Timmy Tickle wants to play! Cheer him up with tickling, help him up when he stumbles on his rollerskates and point out the right balloon number so he can learn to count. If you teach him some tunes on his xylophone he'll treat you to a game of fruit or costume snap, and when he gets tired dim the lights so he can get some rest. When you've finished playing you can even colour in his adventures.
Timmy Tickle is designed to be enjoyed together, so get reading and help them complete the task on each page.

What's New in Timmy Tickle
3.0
May 20, 2020
Please enjoy this updated version of Timmy Tickle with new narrative audio, featuring the vocal talents of my four-year-old daughter.
Our daughter enjoyed this briefly, but it was pretty short lived. The animations are a bit jumpy and the quality of interaction is pretty basic.
The character is fun though - nicely conceived and a good choice of animal - kids love octopuses! A slightly missed opportunity however - a lot more could have been done to make it compelling for kids. Maybe development budgets were tight.
It isn't a learning game really - there aren't key learnings for kids to take out of it that I can see other than learning about touch screens.
A bolted on colouring book helps provide an alternative to the main linear activities but again, it's a bit basic and didn't hold our daughter's attention for that long.
