Are there bees in space? There are in Peekaboo Universe, the latest iPad children’s app from PopAppFactory, the developer behind the fun Mini-U series of apps.

The new app is an interplanetary game of hide’n’seek, where children have to find seven aliens hiding across 10 planets. This isn’t the usual Solar System though, each planet has a theme: Fairy, Candy, Techno, Mushrooms, Skeletons, Underwater, Fluffy, Circus, Island, and Moon.

The characters change their hiding places each time your children play, with lots of animation and sound to keep them entertained as they look for the extra-terrestrials.

We really like the illustration style of Peekaboo Universe: it’s got a colourful hand-drawn film rather than over-glossy computer-generated animation.

Peekaboo Universe costs £0.69 for iPad on Apple’s App Store.
