A game by Nebyl studio

Malyshkiny Igry

Twenty-six learning games in one app for children aged 2–6. The child plays alone: large buttons, generous hit areas, a hint that appears by itself when they hesitate, and a wrong move that is never punished.

The app’s interface is in Russian. It is sold through RuStore, the Russian app store, where the listing is titled «Детские обучающие игры: развивающие от 2 до 6 лет» (Children’s learning games, ages 2–6).

Game picker: round tiles with a picture of each game over a summer meadow.
Goodbye screen: a bunny brushing its teeth, with the caption “now it is time to brush your teeth”.

The game ends the game

A familiar story: you agreed on ten minutes, but the game never ends — so you are the one who has to take it away. Here you can hand that job to the game itself.

You decide in advance how long play may last and how the game will say goodbye: “now it is time to brush your teeth”, “time to eat”, “time for a walk”, “time to put the toys away”. When the time runs out, the bunny waves and tells the child what comes next. Not “time is up”, but the next thing to do — so there is nobody for the child to resent.

The timer is off by default
Whether to use it is your call. We do not decide how long your child may play.
It will not cut in mid-task
The game waits for the level to finish rather than switching off halfway through a jigsaw.
It warns without words
Two minutes before the end, the light on screen warms and a crescent moon rises. The child cannot read yet, but sees the change.
Statistics by day
The parents’ section shows how many minutes were played on each of the recent days and which games came up most. None of it leaves the device.

Twenty-six games

Ten are open and free from the start. Nine belong to the “Big pack”, seven to “Letters & counting” for children of five and up — and every locked game can be tried once for free before you decide.

  • Patchesfree Match a shape to its hole. Eleven scenes: a magician’s hat, a sofa, a teddy bear, a dress, a backpack, an umbrella, a tent, a mitten, a teapot, a car, a boat.
  • Feed the friendsfree Feed the animals. Seven corners of the world, each with its own pair: bunny and fox, elephant and lion, monkey and tiger, turtle and dolphin, fawn and polar bear, cow and cat, duck and bear.
  • Sort into basketsfree Sorting by colour and pattern, four baskets.
  • Countfree How many objects are on the card, from one to five. Thirty cards.

  • Take away Subtraction up to ten: objects leave, how many are left.

How it looks

What is free and what costs money

Ten games are open with no limits — not a demo, not a trial period. The other sixteen unlock with two packs, each bought separately.

Free

Ten games in full, with no ads and no time limit. Plus one free try of every locked game — so you decide by playing, not by reading a description.

Two packs, 169 ₽ each

“Big pack: 9 games” — jigsaws, memory, tracing, stories, patterns, houses, clothes. “Letters & counting: 7 games” — for five and up: letters and digits stroke by stroke, counting, addition and subtraction up to ten. One purchase, forever, no subscription; it returns on a new device. Buying is only possible from the parents’ section, behind an arithmetic lock.

What there is not, and will not be

No advertising, no rewarded video, no links out, no data collection, no subscriptions and no in-game currency. That is not a promise about the future but the studio’s rules — they are on the home page.

Frequently asked questions

The same answers we give on RuStore and in letters from parents.

What is free and what is paid?

Ten games are open from the start and stay open: Patches, Feed the friends, Sort into baskets, Count, Find the same, Whose shadow, Learning colours, Big and small, Jigsaw 2×2 and Assemble the animal. The other sixteen unlock with two packs: “Big pack: 9 games” and “Letters & counting: 7 games”, 169 ₽ each. The packs are independent; you can buy either one. Free games never become paid.

Is it a one-time purchase or a subscription? What about a new phone?

A one-time purchase, no subscription, nothing renews. A pack you bought stays forever and is tied to your RuStore account. On a new device open the parents’ section and tap “Restore purchases”: the pack unlocks without paying again.

Can we try a locked game before buying?

Yes. Every locked game can be launched once for free: the child plays a short session and then sees the card of the pack the game belongs to. So you know in advance whether the child likes it.

What ages is it for?

The core games are for children from two to five: shapes, colours, sizes, counting to five, memory, attention, fine motor skills. The “Letters & counting” pack is for five and up: all 33 Russian letters and digits stroke by stroke, addition and subtraction up to ten. “First letter” is best played together with a parent.

Does it need the internet?

No, every game works offline. The internet is needed only for the purchase itself and to show the pack price, both come from the RuStore store. If there is no connection the game says so plainly, and purchased packs stay open.

Are there ads, sign-up or data collection?

No ads, no sign-up, no analytics. The game sends nothing from the device: play-time statistics live only on your phone. There are no outbound links on the children’s screens.

Could the child buy something by accident?

No. Everything about purchases and settings sits in the parents’ section behind a lock: to enter you solve an addition problem. On top of that, RuStore confirms the purchase by its own rules.

How does the play-time timer work?

It is off by default. In the parents’ section you pick a limit from 5 to 45 minutes and the phrase the game says goodbye with: “time to brush your teeth”, “time to eat”, “time for a walk”, “time to sleep” or just “bye-bye”. Two minutes before the end the screen light warms and a crescent moon rises; the game never interrupts the child mid-task and waits for the level to end. The same section shows how many minutes the child played on each of the recent days.

Can music and sounds be turned off? Does it work on tablets?

Yes, music, sound effects and voice each have their own switch in the parents’ section. The game runs on Android phones and tablets, in landscape, with large buttons and objects sized for a toddler’s finger.

How do I find the game on RuStore, and where do I write if something is wrong?

On RuStore the listing is titled «Детские обучающие игры: развивающие от 2 до 6 лет» (Children’s learning games, ages 2–6); the link is on this page. Questions and ideas: ibarchenkov@gmail.com or the VK community vk.ru/NebylGames. We answer ourselves and fix bugs in the next update. Refunds go through RuStore support under the store’s rules.
