Therefore, Where is Ploppy? does not store any of your children's data! There are additional security mechanisms in place to prevent your child from being routed out of the app while playing. This means that as soon as a link is called up, such as to rate the game, a short math problem must be solved beforehand. Furthermore, the game is also designed for the colorblind and children who can't read yet. So, if you are looking for a game that you can give to your children without hesitation, where they can also train their memory, then download Where is Ploppy? now! :) DESCRIPTION A game where you have to find a wanted Ploppy.

In the menu you can randomize the wanted Ploppy as often as you want.

Tap the dark. Move the light. Glowherd is a calm, glowing one-tap arcade game about herding fireflies. You never touch them. Every tap sends out a soft ripple that pushes the fireflies away from your finger. Nudge, angle and coax the whole flock into the glowing pen, hold them there for a heartbeat, and the round is yours. YOUR FIREFLIES ARE YOUR LIVES, AND YOUR BURDEN Each firefly is a life. Drift one into a void and the dark takes it for good. Survive and the flock grows: every few rounds a new firefly joins. That gives you more room for mistakes, but also a bigger, messier herd to get into the pen. It's a light to protect and a puzzle to steer all at once. EASY TO START, HARD TO PUT DOWN • One touch: tap anywhere to ripple. That's the whole control scheme. • Limited ripples and a ticking clock each round, so every tap counts. • Voids appear from round 3. From round 4 the pen starts to drift, and it shrinks as the night goes on. • Score by clearing rounds fast with ripples to spare. • Runs last a minute or two, so it's perfect for a quick break. CALM, GLOWING, BEAUTIFUL Warm fireflies on a deep night sky, a breathing mint pen, and soft sound throughout: hushed ripples, rising chimes as your flock settles, a gentle night ambience. Sound respects your silent switch and mixes with your own music. CHASE THE DAWN • Game Center leaderboards for best score and highest round • 8 achievements, from Night Shepherd to Until Dawn and Not One Lost • Share a glowing score card with friends FAIR AND FREE Glowherd is free with ads. You get one optional rewarded revive per run. A single Remove Ads purchase turns off banner and interstitial ads forever. Herd the glow. Mind the dark.
