The evil Snow Queen has frozen the letters of the English alphabet and the poor animals were taken into the icy captivity. Only your smart kid can save the animals. In order to do that your child has to learn English letters and combine them into words, which represent the names of the captured animals. It’s not a big secret that many kids can face difficulties learning to read in English, because English letters in real words have different pronunciation rules in comparison with their sounds in the English alphabet. “Learn to Read & Save the Animals” educational game offers efficient Phonics techniques in order to learn how to read in English.

The game offers 3 educational levels free of charge. The full version contains the total of 16 educational levels allocated by the level of complexity.

Matholotl is a joyful math learning app for kids ages 5–10 — starring Splashy, a curious cartoon axolotl who lives in a sun-dappled 3D pond world. Instead of drilling flashcards, Matholotl blends math practice into play: ADVENTURE MODE Steer Splashy around a hand-crafted 3D lake world. Splash past turtles, frogs, and ducks. Chase golden crawfish "Power Ups" for speed bursts, silver crawfish for jump powers, and bronze crawfish for a giant mode. Ride rainbows between lakes. Bounce off geysers. Every creature and hot spring greets your kid with a spoken math fact. ARCADE MODE Over 20 bite-sized mini-games covering counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, patterns, shapes, and more. Games adapt to your child's current skill tier, so 5-year-olds get 1+1 while 10-year-olds gets fractions and negative numbers. AXOLOTL FAMILY Unlock up to 5 axolotl friends by earning stars. Give each one a name, dress them in hats (crowns, wizard hats, space helmets, and more), pick their voice, and let your kid build his/her own little pet-collection story. TCG CARD COLLECTION Complete mini-games, and defeat boss-levels to earn card packs. Rip the packs and collect illustrated math- and axolotl-themed trading cards across a rotating series, each with rare "Full Art" variants — like a photo album your kid actually wants to fill. PARENT-FRIENDLY BY DESIGN • No ads. • No in-app purchases. • No subscriptions. • No account, no login, no data collection. • Everything stored locally on the device. • Parent settings behind a 2-second child-lock (adjust difficulty tier, reset progress, mute music). WHY MATHOLOTL? Because math learning shouldn't feel like homework. A kid who loves his/her axolotl companion and can't wait to rip the next card pack is a kid who keeps coming back to practice.
