After the player picks either Didi (the red beaver girl) or Ditto (the blue beaver boy), an introductory cinematic tells a story and sets the player's mission. The mission consists in exploring Didi & Ditto's interactive world to collect a number of items by winning educational activities. Collecting all the items means completing the mission and seeing the conclusion cinematic.
The difficulty level set by the player at the beginning of the game corresponds to different and more challenging question sets in the educational activities. Optionally, the player may bypass the entire entertainment part of the game and enter a menu of all educational activities.
Didi and Ditto are two beavers living in Jako's Valley, a fantastic and colourful world. Living in the Valley are several characters that appear in each game:
All Didi & Ditto's games were developed with the Macromedia (later Adobe) Director multimedia application authoring platform.
The in-game animations were made with Softimage XSI before they were imported as sprites inside Director. The animated 3D cinematics are also made with Softimage's technology and exported as QuickTime movies.
