Toronto-based game and app development company Sago Sago has released Sago Mini Trucks and Diggers, for iOS devices which is available starting today.
Rosie the hamster makes her debut in the new Sago Mini Trucks and Diggers, coming to the App Store on February 4. Kids may be in charge, but as the site supervisor Rosie makes sure things run smoothly. She oversees the project as kids use the bulldozer, crane or funny spinner to load piles of dirt into her dump truck. When the truck is full she drives to the build site and kids start to see their home come to life.
Little ones love big trucks. They are larger-than life machines full of endless imaginative possibilities that often take on an identity of their own. Kids will love using the six different vehicles in Sago Mini Trucks and Diggers to fill Rosie’s dump truck with messy, goopy dirt. The best part is they’ll get to move the piles of dirt back and forth as many times as they want, encountering all kinds of silly surprises.
