Professor Astro Cat’s Solar System App
Professor Astro Cat’s Solar System is yet another exciting new launch from those pioneers of children’s publishing Flying Eye Books, this time collaborating with sister company MiniLab Ltd to create an app based on the best-selling book Professor Astro Cat’s Frontiers of Space by illustrator Ben Newman, with scientific consultation from Dr. Dominic Walliman. Developed to encourage young explorers to learn more about the solar system, this fun, high impact adventure game in which they learn, play and help their individual feline adventurer build a rocket and take off into space.
The app has kept all the texture and bold design developed by the creator Ben Newman and seamlessly translated them to an educational game environment. This is a definite win for anyone with young children who have a keen interest in all things nebulous – or perhaps those struggling with their physics homework. As a child I was truly rubbish at science but loved everything to do with space, so this would have been right up my street. This is one app you shouldn’t feel guilty about letting your little one play, both fun and framed with facts it will hopefully keep them entertained for hours.
MiniLab had this to say:
Launch into space with our favourite feline professor on an interstellar journey of discovery and play, exploring the entirety of our universe all from the tip of your finger! In this brand new app, children are incentivized to showcase their new-found knowledge through fun challenges with cool rewards. In line with educational guidelines, Professor Astro Cat’s Solar System is aimed at children aged from 7-10, with a good level of literacy and a general understanding of Space. The depth of information and pace at which the app is played is up to the child, whether they wish to scratch the surface or get right to the core.
