Dumpling Tic
Read full descriptionHide full description
A tic-tac-toe game you can hand to a little kid. No ads, no tracking, no accounts, nothing that pops up. Type your name, pick a dumpling — yellow, blue, pink, mint, glitter, and more — and play. Three in a row wins, the winning dumplings light up, and the scoreboard keeps count until you reset it. FREE, FOREVER Two Players is the complete game: pass the phone, all nine dumplings, names, and the scoreboard. No timer, no nag screens. ONE PLAYER (ONE-TIME UNLOCK) For the car, the waiting room, and quiet time. Play against the computer at three levels: Easy plays at random so little kids can win, Medium takes wins and blocks the obvious but still slips up, and Hard never loses. Pay once and it's shared with up to six family members through Apple Family Sharing. No subscription. MADE FOR LITTLE HANDS Big, tappable squares. Pictures instead of words in the picker, so kids who can't read yet can still choose. Gentle taps and animations, nothing loud or flashy. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT No ads. No subscriptions. No accounts or sign-ins. A grown-up check sits in front of the purchase. The app doesn't collect any data; the only things it remembers are the names, dumplings, and score from last time, and those stay on your device. WORKS WITH VOICEOVER Every square and dumpling is labeled, and wins are announced. HOW KOALA NEST WORKS The kids design. We build it together. The apps grow. And profits from their apps go toward their future - whether that's college or whatever they decide to do. From Koala Nest - small, calm apps for families.
