Game overview
Baby Hippo Bath Time is a gentle care game aimed at very young players, built around the routine of a bath from start to finish. You run the water, wash, rinse, dry and get the hippo ready for bed, with each stage marked clearly enough that a small child can work out what to do without reading. Nothing punishes a wrong tap, which is exactly right for the audience.
This title is best suited to toddlers and pre-schoolers playing with an adult nearby.
