What parents need to know

Parents need to know that Hogworld: Gnart's Adventure is a blend between storybook and game app. Gnart, a little Hog-bunny, needs to get through the scary woods to see the dentist in town. He meets several different companions like a bee and a bat to see him along his way. There is voice-over narration and voice acting throughout the story.

Is it any good?

 

Hogworld: Gnart's Adventure combines an e-book narration and voice-acting with gameplay to create a truly interactive experience. Text as well as verbal animated prompts leads kids through the app, where they discover new characters and stories if they explore by tapping animals and icons on the screens. Gameplay, beautiful graphics, and animation make this a treat to the senses.
