Donkey Toy
iOS Universel / Jeux
Donkey Toy is a very special children's music box, combined with the simple but challenging 'Butterfly game'.
Your child selects four animals by tapping tiles and a new song will start. Dancing animals accompany the music.
Every animal has its own character represented by a specific musical instrument:
- Cow: Tuba
- Horse: Tenor Sax
- Dog: Music Box
- Cat: Oboe
- Goat: Small Bells
- Sheep: Marimba
- Pig: Timpani
- Donkey: Toy Piano
- Butterfly: Piccolo
The 'Butterfly game' can be played during playback:
- Tapping the butterfly causes it to start flapping and fly in the air. After some time the butterfly returns in one of the trees, ready to be tapped again.
- Points are given for every time the butterfly flaps. Tapping a dancing animal during the flight of the butterfly, increases the number of points given for each flap.
- The object of the game is to gather as many points as you can. So, let the butterfly flap and tap the other animals as often as possible during its flight.
- A player needs skills, like selecting the right animal ensemble, tapping the butterfly and the dancing animals as often as possible, and luck: - where does the butterfly land? - how often does it flap during its flight? - how long is the music playing?
For the adults there is an option to view and print the music scores or save MDI files containing the compositions made by Aimée, the artificially intelligent virtual composer responsible for al the music within Donkey Toy.

Donkey Toy is a spin-off of the iOS app YouCompose.
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
First of all, it is important to mention that the music the animals compose has gotten much better.
Secondly, you should know that a 'share' button has been added that lets you download a MIDI file or a PDF containing the music composed. The PDF file contains the score and parts for all instruments. You can use the MIDI file if you know what to do with it ...
Obviously this is nice for adults but the little ones are not interested. The good news is that you have to go through a parental gate to access it, so the little ones are not bothered with it and can play Donkey Toy as they did before.
