Not only do you have to be careful to choose a good tablet for children and prepare it for safe use, but you also have to look for appropriate games and apps , and considering that many of them are paid, it doesn't hurt to keep an eye out for sales and discounts: the latest of these is the Google Play deal of the week , which this time is Build with SpongeBob.
Build with SpongeBob SquarePants: one of the most popular games in the series
We were used to Apple frequently giving away children's apps and games, but Google doesn't do it very often, so if you have children at home, it's worth taking the opportunity to get this SpongeBob Build game , one of the most popular games from this great favorite of the cartoon series (and, in fact, we say it's one of the most popular because it's far from being the only game inspired by him) which is at this point also a bit of a classic among children's games.
As for the gameplay, it's essentially a simulation game , a genre perfectly suited to the abilities and tastes of young children, and precisely for that reason, it's probably the one most often chosen: it gives them the chance to explore the seabed where SpongeBob lives and gradually build Bikini Bottom , adding buildings and decorations that, in turn, will cause new characters to appear, whom they'll have to take care of, practicing their cooking skills and generally trying to keep happy. An extra feature that children will appreciate is that as they progress through the game, they unlock exclusive content from the series, revealing more about the origins of its main characters.
Now you can download Build with SpongeBob for only 10 cents
As always with Google Play's weekly deal , we have the opportunity to grab SpongeBob Build with Sponge for just 10 cents , a symbolic price. Given that it's aimed at children, it's worth noting that it doesn't include in-app purchases . Generally, whenever we give a tablet a child, it's a good idea to make sure this option is blocked, but we're mentioning it just in case someone assumes that, being a premium download, they're not included.
It's a shame, really, because we're big fans of premium games, but we really think that if there's a reason to pay for them, it's precisely to avoid in-app purchases, something especially desirable when it comes to titles aimed at younger children. It's true, however, that it doesn't have to be a major problem if we take precautions, and in fact, to complement this SpongeBob Build game, you can also check out our selection of some of the best free games for kids.
