Whale Trail

Some elements of the game could be frightening for younger kids. When the player bumps Willow into a cloud, there are bolts of lightning and you see Willow's skeleton, as if he is being electrocuted. A few of the achievements suggest violence, such as "cloud massacre." When Willow deliberately smashes clouds during a frenzy, the clouds simply dissipate with a poof.

One of the achievements is named "dirty banker" (for getting 1,000,000 points).

Parents need to know that Whale Trail is a colorful tap-to-jump game similar to Tiny Wings. The player helps Willow the Whale fly through the air, collecting bubbles to stay alive and get points and avoiding bumping into clouds or sinking back into the sea, where an evil enemy awaits. A short trailer is available on YouTube. Like most tap-to-jump games, the game mechanics are simple to learn, but the trick of mastering the timing requires skill and patience, hence the "addictiveness" of the game. When Willow the Whale bumps into a cloud, there are flashes of lightning and you see Willow's skeleton, which could be startling for younger kids.
