Kinectimals

About

Kinectimals lets you interact with digital wild cats through Kinect motion controls. You feed them, teach tricks, and navigate obstacle courses using body movements. The game features 11 species like tigers and snow leopards, each with distinct behaviors. Free play lets you groom and entertain them while completing challenges. Simple mechanics focus on hand gestures and voice commands, making it approachable for younger players. The game's charm comes from its tactile interactions and realistic animal reactions. Kids enjoy the responsive feedback when pets nuzzle or leap through hoops. Launched alongside Kinect in 2010, it showcases early motion control potential. With a 6.7/10 Metacritic score, it's praised for creativity but criticized for short playtime. Still, the novelty of gesturing to train a lion cub remains a standout experience.
