From the developers of Altos Odyssey and Altos Adventure, Pok Playroom is a new subscription-based app that encourages kids to explore their creativity without the objectives, achievements, and failures experienced in most kids games. Concerning iPhone and iPad on May 20th, Pok Playroom costs $4 a month or $30 a year.
Pok Pok Playroom disregards (or straight-out avoids) much of the tropes found in kids video games. You wont encounter amazing sound impacts, flashy animations, condescending tutorials, or talking animals in Pok Playroom, and the open-ended app does not set objectives or force kids into repeated reward loops. Instead, Pok Playroom resembles a virtual box of old-fashioned toys, providing kids the freedom to picture their own stories and explore their creativity.
Ambitious in scope, Pok Playground started its life as a side job by Esther Huybreghts and Mathijs Demaeght of Snowman, the studio responsible for Altos Adventure. The group started deal with Pok after recognizing that kids apps did not have the liberty of structure blocks and other real-world toys. Now the task is coming to life, and its developers supervise of Pok studios, a spin-off of Snowman.
Many of the video games in Pok Playground are straight motivated by timeless kids toys. There are building blocks, a digital paintbrush, and a virtual table covered in fun buttons.
Pok Pok has no in-app purchases and expenses $4 a month or $30 a year (after a 14-day trial). The app will get continuous updates after it introduces May 20th, though it will remain fairly small to keep kids from getting overloaded. As of now, Pok hasnt announced plans to launch its app on Fire tablets or Android phones.
