Life Cycles is a gentle first science game. A ring of card slots waits around Pip the platypus, with arrows showing the way round. Tap or drag the picture card that comes next and it flies into the glowing slot, then comes alive: eggs wobble, a caterpillar crawls, a sprout grows. A card in the wrong order just hops back with a wiggle, and the right one soon glows, so every cycle gets finished. A full ring plays as a little story. The first cycles have three cards with the first already in place; later ones have four, then you find the start yourself, and a card from another cycle sneaks in. Every cleared stage visits a new place and wins a new card frame.
