What is Talking Tua?
Talking Tua is a 3D companion who listens to you and repeats what you say in a silly voice: squeaky, chipmunk-fast, as a two-Tua duet or echoing round the room. Poke its head, belly, hands or feet and it reacts each time, rub back and forth to tickle it, or swipe fast for a play fight. Feed Tua fruit and watch it chew every bite (and sometimes burp), make it toot or sneeze, throw a dance party on a light-up floor, or tap the floor to send it walking. Leave Tua alone for a while and it waves for attention, then dozes off. Your voice stays on your device: nothing you say is uploaded.
Talking Tua is a 3D companion to talk to and play with rather than a score challenge. There are no buttons to learn: say something and Tua waits until you pause, then repeats you in one of its silly voices: a squeak with a squeakier echo, a tiny chipmunk, a two-Tua duet or an echo bouncing round the room, while it bounces and sways with every syllable. Touch matters too: the head, belly, hands and feet each get their own reaction, three quick taps on the head knock Tua over, back-and-forth rubbing tickles it and a fast swipe starts a play fight. There is plenty to try between conversations. Tap the fruit bowl and drag a fruit to Tua’s mouth and it chews it bite by bite, sometimes finishing with a burp; feed it too much and it topples over, too full to stand. A tap on the nose makes it sneeze, two quick belly pokes make it toot, a long press turns the floor into a flashing dance party and a tap on the floor sends Tua walking or running there. Leave it alone and it waves for attention before dozing off. Everything Tua hears stays on your device, and the microphone is released as soon as you stop playing.
