Love word games? Then Volcano is the game for you. Come to build words in a remote tropical jungle, but be careful not to awaken the volcano! How to play? - Draw lines between the letters to form words and earn points (any direction works). - Each letter in the word has a score. Longer words are worth more points. - Use green letters—they are worth more than regular letters. - Struggling to find a word? Shuffle the board to get new letters. Watch out for hot letters! - A hot letter will melt the letter beneath it at the end of each turn. - To get rid of a hot letter, form a word with it that has at least 3 letters. - If the letter reaches the bottom of the board, you have 10 seconds to form a word with it, or the game ends! What else? - Compete against thousands of players and earn your spot on the leaderboard. - Dozens of achievements to brag about. - View your progress in the game. - Improve your vocabulary in 6 different languages. - The game is available in English, Russian, German, Hebrew, Swedish, and Danish (more languages coming soon). Recommended to play with headphones. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

עוברת על כולנו תקופה קשה שכוללת בלבול ופחד, ריצה לממד או למקלט והמתנה מתוחה עד שהבום עובר. החלטנו לנסות ולעזור לילדים, לתת להם מעין שכבת מגן דמיונית, חוויה שתעזור להוריד מעט מהפחד ושתשנה מעט את הסביבה הפיזית בה הם נמצאים. הפעלת אפליקציה זו תאפשר לילד ליצור כיפת מגן וירטואלית סביבו או להגדילה ולהכיל בתוכה את כל בני המשפחה. החוויה כולה מתרחשת אצלכם בבית, בממד או בכל מקום שתבחרו כאשר ניתן לצפות בה דרך מצלמת הטלפון הנייד באמצעות טכנולוגיית מציאות רבודה AR מתקדמת. בסביבה המוגנת יוכל ילדכם לבחור חיית מחמד שתופיע לידכם, הוא יוכל להוביל אותה בחדר, לבקש ממנה יד, להאכיל ועוד וכמו כן לבנות ולהוסיף אלמנטים נוספים בסביבתו כגון פרפרים, בנייה בקוביות, משחקים בכדור ועוד עולמות תוכן רבים ליצירה ולהסחת הדעת. את כל החוויה ניתן לצלם כתמונה או הסרטון וידאו ולהפיץ לחברים ומשפחה. אנו מקווים שחוויה זו תאפשר לכם ולילדכם כמה רגעי נחת ובריחה למציאות טובה יותר בזמן המשחק.
