Soup Toys - great freebie for any age!

[Draggletail]

We've being play this wonderful freebie for about a month now, described as "Designed with players aged 5 to 12 in mind" - doesn't really follow - our three and a half year old can do it and loves it, his older brother too, and all the 'big kids' out there that I know that can still draw breath love it too

 

Have a look at the 'Press Page' - scroll down the page and look at the graphics, watch the video, download it.

 

This has got to be one of the best and most original freebies out there

All the fun of real toys, right there on your computer desktop. It's Time To Play!

Souptoys is a collection of more than 100 different toys for your Windows desktop and the latest version is completely free. As an extra bonus, it also includes a brand new toy xylophone.

 

Designed with players aged 5 to 12 in mind, but enjoyed globally by everyone, this physics sandbox game replicates a child’s wooden toy box full of toys, including basketballs, robots, wooden blocks, snowmen, cannons, flying bees and a pirate ship. With its open-ended design, the possibilities are endless and players are limited only by their imagination.

 

“You can knock down massive castles, create amazing jelly monsters, design complex machines or just make a big mess.” says Rory Schmitz, toy designer and one of the founders of Souptoys. “Everyone plays differently. Everyone plays the way they want to.”

 

Players can also visit Souptoys.com, where they can share their own creations with others and download over 20,000 more. This growing community known as SoupWorld is a fun and secure place for kids to share and discuss their toys and ideas with other fans.

 

With an intuitive and tactile feel, the easy to pick up and play style will allow kids to be enjoying themselves within seconds. Souptoys is also perfect for busy parents who want to play together with children who are too young to use a mouse but are delighted to see a stuntman flying through a basketball hoop.
