Animal Captain is a stylish game for preschoolers, which focuses on the relation between animal species through simple problem solving. You’re the Animal Captain, a seasoned sailor and the proud owner of a small ferry which transports animals of all kinds across the sea. The ferry only has limited space, and the animals are therefore forced to share their cabin with other animals. Some animal species make great matches while others make horrible matches. For example, an elephant and a parrot make a great travelling duo, while a snake and a mouse are terrible roommates. It’s up to you to make sure all the animals are happy before departure, by swapping them between the rooms. The super minimalistic graphics and simple gameplay create a stylish and fun game experience, which not only focus on entertainment but also aims to teach children about the relationship between carnivores and herbivores.
