Users of the stand-alone apps are also capable of purchasing the complete single game with an in-app purchase should they desire.
“Publishing our Rooplay Original games as stand-alone apps is one of our key distribution strategies to generate as many downloads as possible into Rooplay,” stated Jason Williams, CEO of Shoal Games. “Over the coming weeks, we will be releasing six more Garfield games and our first games featuring the Moomins. We’re committed to developing quality experiences for families and children using some of the world’s most popular characters.

The Rooplay app is fast to install but has more than 500 curated games inside. Rooplay has no ads, no in-app purchases, no social networks, and no instant messaging so it’s completely safe for kids. Rooplay follows the same subscription business model as Netflix, but with games instead of video. Rooplay promotes active screen time over passively watching shows as children can explore the games library on their own or play family games on the same device with a friend. The game categories on Rooplay include 5 & Under, Learning, Puzzles, Family Games, Brain Teasers, Challenging Games and many more.
