Here's what they wrote about Fuzz & Ditto
Fuzz & Ditto At the Sea is a locally-produced educational software
package aimed at providing five–year-olds with fun activities designed
to help them develop the kinds of skills that will help them at school. Its
production values are impressively high, and the program resembles the
kids’ shows seen in the afternoons on local TV stations, complete with
friendly characters, cheesy sets and real-life kids.
The game’s central premise is that four children have made friends
with a friendly alien and his sidekick, these being the titular Fuzz & Ditto,
and are showing them around Planet Earth to educate them about its
wonders. The subject of this game is the sea, and everything it contains.
The program gives kids the opportunity to listen to fun songs and play
a collection of minigames, all designed to teach them more about our
oceans. There are games within games, too, that unlock special features,
like a picture book that fills with sea creatures as you find hidden items.
More than one child can use the software, as it is possible to create
multiple profiles that save each child’s progress separately.
The minigames are all educational and teach useful skills that will
serve any school-going five-year-old well. There are maths exercises,
spelling lessons, shape recognition puzzles and more, all of which use
the sea in some way to get the lessons across. It’s easy to see how kids
can gain skills and have fun while learning more about the sea and its
inhabitants in this way.
