App Review: Woolizoo’s Ocean Rescue

Hey readers,

Today I have a fun app to share that’s about rescuing ocean animals called Woolizoo’s Ocean Rescue!

In pretty, crochet-art style, you can help turtles escape nets, clean up rubbish in the ocean, help animal parents find their babies, and so much more. There are four areas in the game world to explore. Each time you complete a task to help the islands, you get a gold star!

You can download the game from the App Store here.

If you try it out, let us know in the comments!

Bye for now,
