Mix animals! Mix syllables! Filled with handcrafted animations and sound. MIXIMAL is an entertaining game based on traditional flipbooks we all know from our childhood. Kids create new silly animals and discover their names. We took this classic concept and constructed wonderful handcrafted animations and sounds to complement it. Each animation is created frame-by-frame to provide a warm and organic aesthetic. The sounds originate from analog sources. Our aim with the app is to offer a highly tactile experience, as we think our kids should play with quality toys. Features: + Mix between 11 animals + Make up new animals using syllables + Combine a full animal for a surprise animation + Switch between 8 languages + Lively animations and impressive audio + No failing, no goal, no wrong or right + Supports all iPads and iPhones with iOS 14 or later + No internet access needed! + No advertisements!

Ortspiel

Die hier verfügbaren Geschichten können als Audiowalk vor Ort gehört und miterlebt werden. Als Nutzer der App nimmst du selbst eine aktive Rolle in der Erzählung ein, deren Spuren du buchstäblich folgst. Geschrieben und produziert wurden die Audiowalks im Ortspiel Erzähllabor, einem Workshopformat für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene. Die Idee zu App und Erzähllabor stammt von Fabian Eck und Sophie Burger, die sich mit ihrem Startup Moviefy darauf spezialisiert haben, Geschichten im Stadtraum erlebbar zu machen. Das medienpädagogische Projekt verbindet die Lust am Erzählen mit Digitalkompetenz und wird vom Kindermedienland Baden-Württemberg gefördert.
