Amazing game that is focused for kids/teens about old tales of UAE in an entertainment way, great job to the developer for making this game
Although intended for children, certain poor design decisions and difficulties may make it unsuitable. The plot revolves around young Hamdan, who wishes to read a story before bedtime. He chooses a book titled Emirati Tales, which comprises eight stories. Each story is its own stage that you select from the menu, but you must progress through them in an order because they are linked by a story. Most of it comes from characters you bump into during each stage. Your youthful hero has several skills that are available from the start. He can dash and glide in addition to jumping and sprinting, which are always reliable. The attack is primarily used to destroy boxes, but it can also be used to knock off some irritating critters like bees and crabs. Fighting is frequently quite awful due to poor hit detection. Even if you initiate your spinning attack, the enemy manages to hit you before you strike it. Each stage is a short task, therefore the game does not take long to complete. However, even though the game is intended for children, the difficulty spikes are tough to explain. Even platforming veterans who believe they would breeze through the game will encounter difficulties. But at the end of the day, it took me a little over one hour to beat all stages. One of these is the water stage, where you must jump on barrels. Falling into water won’t kill you, but there is a creature in the water that keeps bumping into you until you lose all hearts. When you run out of hearts, you lose a life, and if you lose all of your hearts, you must restart the level. A stage has three stars. Two are discovered along the way, while the third is rewarded for finding all coins. This is not too difficult considering the stages are straight platforming sections with few opportunities to miss anything. However, there are a few levels when speed is important. You must perform a task within the allotted time. Although the time restriction is reasonable, it doesn’t stop when talking to characters.
The game features captivating stories that are perfect for kids, characters reflect our Emirate heritage perfectly, Highly recommend for Kids!
Emirati Tales is deeply interactive. Hamdan has done a fantastic job balancing gameplay mechanics with storytelling, offering players puzzles and quests that tie directly into the myths themselves. You don’t just hear about these legends; you live them, learning about the culture and history behind each story/Myth of the UAE.
Very nice and calm game with nice stories. Great value for money and awesome story telling for the kids and adults to learn more about the Emirati culture. Thank you team for this wonderful game.

An amazing platformer with a wide variety of themes and levels. Although it could be frustrating with some difficulty spikes, it is still enjoyable for all ages. The game excells at telling cultural stories, stories that teach valuable lessons, and opens the way for people to learn more about the United Arab Emirates culture. All in all, the game embodies alot of love and respect to the culture that it represents and shows a promising future for the indie developer.
