Ooops!
Ooops is a collection of four 'arcade' type games to control by mouse, keyboard or single switch.
The graphics and animation will interest learners of all ages and switch or mouse timing skills can be developed whilst having fun!
The flying saucer acts as a cursor allowing you to select an activity. The 'speaker' button allows you to turn sound off or on. The 'people' buttons allow you to select a difficulty level - the taller the person, the faster the game.
The games are car, spaceship, hot air balloon and submarine.
- Car - press the switch to swap lanes and dodge other vehicles and road hazards.
- Spaceship - dodge hazards in outer space.
- Hot air balloon - control the hot air balloon and dodge the hazards in the sky.
- Submarine - dodge hazards under the sea.
- Collect as many jewels as you can in each of the games to increase your score. In each game you have three lives. If you crash the vehicle, your next life will begin. When you have used all three lives, the 'high scores' list will appear with your score.
Almost all cause and effect programs feature switch building levels. These usually involve the child creating a picture or scene, ‘building’ it step-by-step with repeated switch presses or mouse clicks, or by touching the touch monitor. For many learners, switch building can serve as a useful next stage in the progression from cause and effect to making independent choices.
All switch building programs allow you to choose the number of steps the child will have to complete before receiving a reward. Initially you should start at one step where a single switch press will build up the scene and play the animation in much the same way as programs like Big Bang. When you feel the learner is ready you can change the settings to three presses.
