You probably know the story of Juan Tamad and why he is called as such if you were born in the same era as I am. Maybe at some point, you have been called by your parents with this name too when laziness kicked in. But then your kids will just probably give you the blank look they are so good at if you use this moniker on them now. Like our very own language Tagalog, our folktales are of no interest to them as well.
Well its high time you introduce them to Juan Tamad if they are the type of kids who knows how to operate the iPad like the back of their hand. This time though, introduce them to the reinvented Juan Tamad, the one who they can set goals with and help make things happen.
I am talking about Juan Tamad, the new Pinoy iOS game app designed for iPad by Tooch Inc., a proudly Pinoy gaming/digital company. The objective of the game is quite simple, players help Juan solve visual puzzles for him to reach his prize. In short, it s up to them to make an honest boy or should I say a resourceful boy out of Juan and completely erase the “tamad” stigma. The game is distinctly Pinoy from the kulintang inspired music down to its rich colorful graphics.

I had a chance to check out the game using a friend’s iPad (I hope they will come up with the android version asap too so my daughter and I can enjoy it using her own android tablet). I like how Juan Tamad’s tales are told in limerick form and how it enhances the player’s visual logic skills through puzzle building. This is perfect for kids aged 5 and up. I know how our kids’ iPads are like barbies/GI Joes to us before. If we can’t prod it away from them, then the best thing to do is let them play games on their iPads that will sharpen their minds and form their character. Juan Tamad is definitely that.

The game developers, Teddy Catuira and Sandy Lichauco clearly have put a lot of thought in the creation of this game app. The fact that they came up with something close to the hearts of the Filipinos and completely turn it around to give it a more positive vibe is really something.
I have been a big fan and supporter of Pinoy game developers because they have always immortalized our culture in the games that they create. I think utilizing technology in bringing to the youngs’ consciousness our unique culture is one way we can prevent it from waning. Kudos Tooch Inc, may Juan Tamad go a long way!
Juan Tamad is a free iOS app currently available on the Apple iTunes store. Download it now.
I was also able to follow the adventures of Juan Tamad and I remember there was even a movie titled Juan Tamad goes to Congress. It’s good that there are already several Filipino developed games. I also know of one patterned from the game, Sipa.
This sounds pretty great! I’m all for supporting local game developers.
I’m just curious as to what the actual gameplay is like. What are some examples of the puzzles and how it ties back to the whole “Juan Tamad” stereotype.
You can try downloading it from the itunes app store.:)
ohhh i didn’t know there was a juan tamad game. I grew up hearing his stories lol. I’m from leyte and prolly heard all of them.
hmmm interesting game! too bad it’s just for apple products.. 🙁
but anyways, Kudos to the Pinoy Developers!
HinGrasyah, android version is already in the works.:)
Please let me know if you’re looking for a article author
for your weblog. You have some really great articles and
I think I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load
off, I’d love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back

This kind of game gives a real experience of building a farm
and planting trees. The popular epub format is written in XHTML, which is nothing but an advanced version
of HTML. It is a platform used by hundreds of millions of people and this amazing potential can be used for business as well.
Several of these games are worth some time and are actually quite
fun. The Alex Cross series began in 1992
with the publication of Along Came a Spider.
This is the over simplified model of the game dynamics.

Most Facebook users are teenagers who do not have a lot of money to
spend. I recommend using a simple font that is easy to read
in a size ranging from 32 to 40. The more powerful
the image, the more interest you will provoke in visitors to your profile
which in turn will result in your profile attracting more followers.
Where Is The Download Link :p
Plz Give Me I Really want This 😛
Thank.
