Ickle Count Icon

Ickle Count is a simple pick up and play counting game that can be played just for fun or to aid with a child’s numeracy skills.

Ickle count involves tapping little diver characters in sequence to count as many as possible before time runs out.

For every diver you select correctly a sea monster will grab and eat them to a satisfying friendly chomp, whilst increasing the highest number achieved so far. If you touch the wrong diver they will shake to tell you you’ve got the wrong one.

When time runs out you will see you’re final count along with some feedback on how well you did. How high will you be able to count to before time runs out?
