Description

This is the brand new extended version of Hogworld: Gnart’s Adventure - the children’s interactive story app Wired called “brilliant”, USA Today hailed as “one of the most sophisticated yet accessible book apps published so far” and Apple included on its AppStore Best of 2011 list.

Meet the shy yet lovable hog-bunny Gnart who has to make it to the dentist by sundown. To get there he has to pass through some pretty scary places. On his way, Gnart will confront his fears and make new friends. The story gives readers a true interactive experience.

Stunning artwork enhanced by 3D effects and animations combined with music, sound effects and voice-over makes this a unique application. An intuitive user interface lets you follow the engaging story and then go back to explore the environments, which are full of beautiful landscapes and amazing surprises. Or, you can pause the narrative anytime and explore right away.

Hogworld is made for the 4 + age group. That said, we do think quite a few adults might like it too.
