Description
About This Game
This is a toy for babies and toddlers, not a game for you to play. There are no goals, levels, scores or progress, and nothing to win or unlock: a baby presses keys and things happen, that's all.
Who it isn't for: anyone looking for a game to play themselves.
If you opened a place from the picker, the same gesture first returns to the picker; do it twice to quit.
Who it's for
Parents of babies and toddlers (roughly 6 months to 3 years) who want to let a little one bang on the computer safely, with a grown-up nearby.Who it isn't for: anyone looking for a game to play themselves.
How a parent leaves
Hold both Shift keys, let go, then hold both Shift keys again. A small reminder of this is always on screen.If you opened a place from the picker, the same gesture first returns to the picker; do it twice to quit.
Five places
Glacier Bay, Puffin Island, Lily Marsh, Coral Reef and Savanna. Each key a baby presses makes seals, puffins, frogs, sea turtles or elephants sing and splash.What the lock blocks, and its limits
While it runs, the keyboard and mouse are captured so a baby's mashing can't close windows, open apps or type into other programs. Some things can't be blocked by any app:- Windows: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Win+L and brightness keys still work.
- macOS: blocking media keys needs Accessibility permission, granted once.
- Linux: the strongest lock needs your user in the input group.
