Isopod

Xylem and Phloem LLC, is proud to announce "Isopod: The Roly Poly Science Game". 

This full version has all levels available depending upon completion.
This truly unique app is best described as an integrated synthesis between arcade-quality gameplay and scientific encyclopedia, with the intention of inspiring a fascination with insects and their relationship to a variety of life science subjects. 

Playing the game is instant access to fun: The Isopod rolls up into ball and is then controlled by accelerometer-based "tilt-physics" that transforms the android into a game controller. As the user rolls and bumps their way through levels, new environments filled with indigenous creatures appear. Every interactive element has its own set of topic pages, and new topics open as the player succeeds in gameplay. 

Explore photos, links and much more in the Isopod Learning Center, featuring 24 scientific topics, with a deep focus on the interconnected world of entomology and ecosystems. Also covered are topics such as bioluminescence, mycology, camouflage and more. The topics covered are authored by a variety of professionals, entomologists, researchers, biologists, teachers as well as Xylem and Phloem LLC staff. 

Isopod: The Roly Poly Science Game features 24 photo-realistic, interactive creatures inhabiting their natural environments from other locations around the world. 

GAMEPLAY TIPS: 
Env1: Beetles will come to you if you can stay in one general area. Bumping the blue butterfly means you can go anywhere quickly without a problem but make sure you are not behind an ant line when the power runs out.

Env 2: Follow the yellow butterfly as much as possible, bump whenever you get a chance and free as many gladiators as you can in your enlarged and invulnerable state.

Env 3: Learning to bump twice is easy enough, but when multiple katydids are on screen a good strategy is to bump each one once, and then come back and bump again later, if you can move fast enough.

Env 4: When the millipede stops, get far away...the cyanide gas has an extended reach. Also, wait until a group of 8-10 fireflies appears all at once before bumping the female glowworm power up, that way you can free a bunch at once.


Is it a video game that kids absolutely love? Or is it a sophisticated entomology textbook covering important science topics, such as beneficial insects in agriculture, biodiversity preservation and invasive species awareness?

It’s BOTH.

At it’s heart, Isopod is a physics-controlled “roly poly” science game that feels a bit like many of the popular marble/maze apps you might have played. However, instead of a wooden box with walls, Isopod takes place in a realistic nature setting with the goal of saving important insects, not killing them. Each interactive element in the game has a topic written about it, penned by a variety of authors including biologists, teachers, researchers and entomologists. Parents will delight in the fact that Isopod is not just a game, but a carefully constructed science lesson that covers, in detail, much of the scientific data associated with each animal featured in the game. Kids will be shocked that one of their “edu-games” is actually fun and loaded with quality arcade-style gameplay. For home schoolers, it’s a fantastic plan of study in entomology designed to be enjoyed by both child and educator. Isopod aims to inspire a new generation of tech-savvy children to explore the wonders of the natural world, and to value the creative beauty of real science.

木质部和韧皮部有限责任公司，是自豪地宣布，“等足类动物：全威聚科技游戏”。

这个完整的版本有各级取决于完成。
这真正独特的应用程序是最好的形容为一体的综合合成街机质量之间的游戏和科学的百科全书，鼓舞人心的魅力与昆虫和它们之间的关系的各种生命科学学科的意图。

玩游戏是好玩的即时访问：附着辊成球，然后基于加速度计的“倾斜物理”，转变成一个游戏控制器的android控制。通过各级用户辊和碰伤自己的方式，新的环境充满土著生物出现。每一个互动元素都有其自己的一套主题页面，并打开新主题，玩家在游戏中成功。

探索的照片，链接和更多的等足类动物的学习中心，设有24个科研课题，昆虫学和生态系统相互关联的世界上了深刻的焦点。还包括主题，如生物发光，真菌，伪装和更多的。所涵盖的主题创作的各种专业人士，昆虫学家，研究人员，生物学家，教师以及木质部和韧皮部LLC人员。

等足类动物：全威聚科技游戏设有24照片般逼真的，互动的生物，它们的自然栖息环境，来自世界各地的其他地方。

游戏玩法提示：
ENV1：甲虫会来找你，如果你能留于一体的综合区域。碰碰蓝色的蝴蝶，意味着你可以去任何地方没有问题，但迅速确定你是不是蚁行后面的电源耗尽时。

ENV 2：尽可能按照黄色的蝴蝶，凹凸，只要你有机会和许多角斗士，你可以在你的扩大和无敌状态。

ENV 3：学习碰到两次是很容易的，但是当屏幕上有多个螽斯一个好的策略是每一个撞一次，然后再回来，稍后再撞，如果你能足够快的移动。

ENV 4：当千足停止，远...氰化物气体具有延伸。另外，等到一组8-10萤火虫出现前一次碰撞雌性萤火虫功率，这样你可以一次释放了一堆。


它是一个视频游戏，孩子们绝对会喜欢吗？或者它是一个复杂的昆虫学教材，涵盖重要的科学课题，如农业益虫，生物多样性保护和外来物种入侵意识？
 
它既。
 
在它的心脏，等足类动物是物理控制的“不倒翁聚”科学游戏，感觉有点像许多流行的大理石/应用程序，你可能会起到迷宫。然而，等足类动物，而不是一个木箱与墙壁，发生在一个现实的性质设置与保存重要的昆虫的目标，而不是杀死他们。每一个互动元素在游戏中有一个话题写一下吧，由不同的作者，包括生物学家，教师，研究人员和昆虫学家执笔。家长会高兴的事实，等足类动物是不是只是一个游戏，而是一个精心构造的科学课，涵盖详细的科学数据与每个动物在游戏中特色。之一，他们的“教育游戏”其实是乐趣和装载质量街机风格的游戏，孩子们会很震惊。在家接受教育，这是一个梦幻般的计划，在昆虫学的研究设计，将可享有儿童和教育家。等足类动物的目的，激发了新一代技术娴熟的儿童探索自然世界的奇迹，真正的科学的创造性的美。
