totsTV games

This time, I want to talk about some of the free games available on totsTV. This is an Immersive Education course (ImmersiveEducation.org). These games can be played for free on totstv.org, which you can directly go in to here


This game is called "Echogenesis." It seems like an interesting game, because there are five environments which you are entered randomly, and in each environment, there are animals and other figures that you can click on. When clicked, a sound is created that affects the music overall. This game is unique in a sense that it gives the user a complete control and freedom, instead of giving multiple tasks.

These are the examples of its different environments.



The second game is called "Bounceicles." Once the game is initiated, a simple screen is seen with multiple blobs sitting calmly on the ground.



However, once they are clicked, they start to bounce. The blobs can even be dragged with a mouse pointer to move them to different places, causing jumps with respect to the angles it touched other blobs or walls. Notice that their facial expressions change whenever something occurs.


The third game does not have a title. Once the game starts, it displays a hamster, who is ready to rescue his friends from falling to the ground.


The main task of the game is to catch its friends by using the pointer, so they could safely land on the bushes located on the bottom right of the screen. Some of them jump with less power, and in such cases, multiple bouncing is required, meaning that they have to be caught at least twice until it can make it to the bushes.


Players are given 3 lives, and each successful rescue counts for additional score. Once the lives run out, the above screen appears, in which you can retry or exit.




This game is called Alfie's northpole adventure. It has a story line, which can be progressed by clicking on the right object. If it asks for a light, then simply search for a light and click on it. The story will move on and turn to the next scene.




The Coloring Book is very self-explanatory. Once the game loads, users can choose between 8 pictures that are not colored. The task is to color them in anyway one wants to!
