You can then repeat the process with the new element to try and unlock more. Most of the time nothing will happen, except that the blob looks a little disgruntled, but sometimes a party popper will go off and a new blob will appear, looking slightly surprised but ultimately content with its new existence. This is done by dragging your elemental friend to one of five pieces of lab equipment where it can be heated, cooled, spun, electrified or mixed with chemicals. The point of Toca Lab is to unlock all the elements in the Periodic Table. The last time that happened I didn’t end well for either party, but I put that waking nightmare to the back of my mind and pushed on! I immediately stopped worrying about where Venus was in relation to Jupiter, and hit the download button.Īfter all of a minute downloading and installing, I was confronted with a small blob of something with a face, and no instructions. One day a funny looking game called Toca Lab appeared as a freebie. The tablet was soon filling up with flashlight apps, hill climbing games and, at one point, an Orrery (because you never know when you may need an interactive clockwork map of the solar system). On the early Fires Amazon did an “App of the Day”, which gave you one free app every day. Toca Lab is, essentially, a game about the Periodic table, which I stumbled across a couple of years ago, not long after I bought a Kindle Fire. “Come on Kids! Let’s learn about the Periodic Table!”
