\"SNAIL_BOX\"<\/a>Help Bob the snail stay safe in this sequel to the hit 2-D puzzler. Similar to Lemmings, Snail Bob will creep along in dozens of single screen puzzle rooms, but he won\u2019t stop, even if danger is ahead. You\u2019ll have to tap switches and manipulate the environment so Snail Bob has a safe path to the exit. Snail Bob 2 is a downloadable title for iOS devices and PC, but reviewed on iPad here.<\/p>\n

Snail Bob isn\u2019t totally stupid, though. You can tap on him and he\u2019ll stop moving and hide in his shell, giving you time to do what you need to keep him safe. You can also tap on an icon on the bottom right of the screen to make Snail Bob turn around in the opposite direction. You must also tap on buttons and switches that may open doors or move platforms so Snail Bob can progress. You can also tap on certain enemies to make them run away or disappear. Some of the levels get pretty creative and have you figuring out how to move certain items around as well as Snail Bob.<\/p>\n

In each level are three hidden stars. Some are behind objects that\u2019ll reveal the star when you tap on them, and some stars blend into the background. In every other level is a hidden puzzle piece to find, too. So in a way, it\u2019s like a find-the-hidden-objects game, too. You\u2019ll want to be on the lookout for stars and puzzle pieces because stars unlock new worlds and when you finish the puzzle pieces in each world, you\u2019ll unlock extra bonus levels, too! Finishing levels will sometimes give you outfits to dress Snail Bob in as well.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snail Bob 2 isn\u2019t too terribly difficult of a game, so most kids can enjoy it without any help. But the game isn\u2019t too easy either, so even adults may like it (I sure did). So it\u2019s also a great game to play with your kids. Reading skill isn\u2019t required either. Violence is minimal. If Snail Bob gets hit by an enemy, a little cartoon fight cloud will emerge and Snail Bob will come out bandaged or wrapped in a spider web, etc. So it\u2019s no worse than a Looney Tunes cartoon. I don\u2019t think there are any in-game purchases, which is good, but there is a Winter World that unlocks sometime in December, and I don\u2019t know if you have to buy it or not. At any rate, Snail Bob 2 is one of the better iPad puzzle games out there for kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
