In today's digital age, where smartphones and tablets dominate leisure time, getting children interested in classic literature can feel like a daunting task. However, *Winged*, a new auto-runner platformer developed by Sorara Game Studio in collaboration with Druzina Content, offers a creative solution to introduce kids to the joys of reading through engaging gameplay.
*Winged* invites players to explore a series of worlds inspired by timeless children's literature. The game's protagonist, Ruth, uses her wings to navigate these enchanting landscapes, collecting pages from classic books along the way. Each collected page not only unlocks new worlds to explore but also provides access to excerpts from renowned literary works, blending the thrill of gaming with the richness of reading.
With 50 stages spread across five maps, *Winged* draws inspiration from iconic stories like *Alice Through the Looking Glass* and *The Arabian Nights*. As players progress, they can unlock and read snippets from classics such as *Don Quixote*, *Peter Pan*, and *Jack and the Beanstalk*, turning each gaming session into a mini literary adventure.
Flying high Winged marks Druzina Content's debut as a solo game developer, spotlighting a strong female protagonist in Ruth. The game aims to be a family-friendly experience that can be enjoyed by all ages, making it a perfect opportunity for parents and children to bond over both gameplay and literature.
While it remains to be seen if *Winged* will spark a lifelong love for reading in its young players, there's no doubt it offers a fun and engaging way for families to explore classic literature together. Available on both iOS and Android platforms in multiple languages, *Winged* is accessible to a wide audience, ensuring that language barriers won't keep anyone from joining the adventure.
