New free game - Mouse Follower

We've just uploaded our new Mouse Follower to the free games area of Shiny Learning. Designed to encourage movement of the mouse, tracker ball or joystick it repsonds to any input device that moves the mouse pointer.

It's very simple - move the mouse and a shape moves with the pointer, and you hear some music. There are five shapes to choose from: star, ball, delta, fish and snowflake. You can choose to show trails after the shape, no trails at all, or trails in random colours. There are three tunes to choose from - a steady clockwork sort of beat, a floaty tune (quite relaxing really, especially with the fish!) and a fast beat - or you can choose to have no music at all (to save you turning off your speakers...!).

We hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

IE8 problem fixed

We've updated our web pages to address the "feature" introduced by Internet Explorer 8 that meant that our free switch-accessible games had to be run in compatibility mode.

For those who like numbers (I know you're out there!)

We had a great deal of fun writing our free switch and keyboard-accessible games, so you can imagine how fantastic we think it is that since we made them live on the site they've been played online approaching 1500 times, and there have been almost 500 downloads of the stand-alone versions. That's a lot of squashed flies, crushed cars and blasted ships. Well done!

From a new business just starting out we'd like to say thanks for the feedback and encouragement you are giving us. Keep it coming!

The good news is that we are working away at more games, in and amongst everday business, so do watch this space.

New basic skills software

This Autumn sees the publication of Game, Set & Match, a collection of beautiful basic skills activities for early learners. It's great for visual perception skills, switch training, classification and listening skills.

The software has three levels of difficulty a really easy-to-use interface for all concerned.
