CHILD SAFETY
Ploppy Pairs, a colorful fun memory game for everyone, is designed with your child's safety in mind. In addition to Apple's guidelines for children's games, we go one step further and firmly believe that any data about your children belongs exclusively to you and your children and should stay that way. Therefore, Ploppy Pairs does not store any of your children's data! There are additional security mechanisms in place to prevent your child from being routed out of the app while playing. This means that as soon as a link is called up, such as to rate the game, a short math problem must be solved beforehand. Furthermore, the game is also designed for the blind, colorblind and children who can't read yet.
So, if you are looking for a game that you can give to your children without hesitation, where they can also train their memory, then download Ploppy Pairs now! :)
DESCRIPTION
A fun card matching game for everyone! What makes Ploppy Pairs special is the SharePlay functionality, which lets you play with friends and family together via FaceTime and makes you feel as if you are all in the same place.
There are various theme-based levels with difficulties from 4 up to 70 cards, which makes the game a great fun way to train the memory skills for all ages! Each level unlocks a new skin by reaching the best score possible. The score is dependent of the amount of needed turns.
Try it out by downloading the App Clip with one level for free on the iPhone and iPad.
HOW TO PLAY
Each level starts with a randomized faced down set of cards. Tap a card to flip it and memorize its image. If the next tapped card's image matches the first one, the cards stay faced up, otherwise they will be covered up again. Keep doing so until all of the cards are matched to finish the level.
How to use SharePlay
When you open the game while you are on a FaceTime call, an additional button will be next to the restart button within the game. Tap it to start the SharePlay session. All other participants will be notified about the newly started session. A popup will show up where they can either join the session if they have Ploppy Pairs already installed, or download it if it is not installed yet. As soon as one player flips a card, it will also flip on all the other participant's devices. The same behaviour appears for opening/closing the map and restarting/switching the level - all other interactions will only happen locally on the players device itself. The overlaying video window can be dragged to the specific placeholder position at the top left of the game and can be resized by pinching gestures. The shared gameplay is meant to be cooperative and not as one against the other, which means to communicate with each other as soon as someone knows a match and letting them flip the cards. A player can exit the session by tapping the previous mentioned SharePlay button again.

On the app store there is also where is ploppy and ploppypop. Are those accessible?
Everything works via…
Everything works via voiceover and is correctly labelled, so there are zero accessibility headaches.
The best thing however, and what goes really above and beyond in terms of access, are the truly impressive art descriptions!
all the ploppies in the game, as well as the islands on the map are fully described in vibrant and colourful detail!
this means not only is the gameplay accessible, but you can also enjoy collecting all the ploppies, choosing which to wander around a map with, and discovering new lands and new places as you go!
Something which also would likely make this a great one for kids as well!
There have been a lot of accessible concentration games over the years.
While this one certainly gets challenging with it's shear amount of cards to match (up to 70), what makes Ploppy pairs truly special is the atmosphere, and the amazing work the developer has done accessifying all the art work!
No, if you're wanting that hard core rpg this won't be for you, but if you want something small to rest the brain with, or indeed have some small people to entertain, this is definitely worth a look.
