Project Summary

EduVille is an educational game which is targeted for kindergarten and pre-elementary school children. It consists of two games, the jigsaw / puzzle and matching some words. Because the main target audience is children, we create  this game with cartoon characters, cartoon animals, and also we include colorful background to attract them. This game will also be useful for parents to educate their children to memorize a pattern and understand the behavior of some animals. As it is for early age children which mostly the motor nerves is still on development, EduVille only provides one controller, the mouse which will be used to drag & drop the puzzles, and words.
