Press Quotes

Eight high-fives for a truly splendid effort.” -- Kirkus Reviews / Awarded a Kirkus Star!

☆ “Timmy Tickle is a ticklish, dishwashing, costume-wearing, color-changing Octopus who is sure to entertain your kids.” -- AppAdvice.com

The story, read by West End star Gina Beck, currently playing Glinda in Wicked, tells kids about Timmy and let’s them join in with his favourite activities.

By touching and tapping the screen children can:
★ cheer Timmy up by tickling him
★ match which fruit he’s imitating
★ play nursery rhymes on Timmy’s xylophone
★ learn to count with his colourful balloons
★ help Timmy wash up and spin-dry plates (trying not to smash them!)
★ make him roller-skate (and help him up if he falls)
★ discover Timmy’s enchanting costume collection
★ help dim the lights so Timmy can get some rest for next time!

As well as learning and playing with Timmy children can also colour in eight different Timmy adventures. The pictures can be saved to iPhoto so parents can share their childrens’ creations with friends and family on Facebook or via text/email.

What’s new since you launched the iPad version last year?

Since releasing the Timmy Tickle 1.0 for iPad last year I have received lots of emails from parents suggesting how I could make the app more engaging and fun.

✓ A completely new paint section where kids can paint Timmy’s Adventures to save and share
✓ New and improved navigation to stop accidental page turning
✓ Lots of new animations and interactions including more giggles!
✓ Revamp of thewashing up page, so focus is on cleaning not smashing : )
✓ New functionality on the balloon page for an improved learning experience
✓ Direction arrows so kids can learn four different Nursery Rhymes on Timmy’s xylophone, which Timmy can then play back!
✓ A more game-like fruit matching section and costume page, where kids identify which fruit or character he is imitating.
✓ Success chimes when page activity is completed correctly
