Same Same!

A matching game for children aged about one to five. Find the two animals that look exactly alike. The game uses characters, animation, and sound, so children can play without reading.

An iOS release is planned once payment account approval is complete.

Gameplay

The play area uses characters, animation, and sound instead of spoken or written instructions. Animals respond to touch, and a melody changes with each pair found to indicate progress through the round.

Pairs must match in the animal, its hat, and the object it holds. As difficulty increases, the differences become more subtle.

Features

Adaptive difficulty

Difficulty increases after successful rounds and decreases after two difficult rounds. Progress adjusts automatically without a level selector.

An album of animals

Every animal found appears little by little in the album, where it can be looked at closely, listened to, and dressed in the same hats that tell pairs apart in the game.

A parents' section

Behind a simple arithmetic problem: what to expect at which age, the research the game is based on, progress charts, language and sound.

Offline play

No ads, no analytics, no accounts. The game plays offline and sends nothing anywhere; everything it remembers stays in its own folder on the device.

Free to start

The little town with its nine animals is free and complete. One purchase, no subscription, opens the farm and the seabed — and every world added later.

Age-based touch controls

An age setting in the parents' section decides how forgiving a tap is, so the youngest do not have to hit an animal exactly.
