Ratings and reviews

generally very good, but needs three things to help children: 1 Does not tell you you can scroll down when it introduces more functions. 2 Doesn't teach that you can click on different lines to move the cursor. 3 Has a bug where if you throw a box and pick it up immediately, you will pick it up in the air resulting in a no-op (and doesn't tell you that's a thing). better than most but still needs some polish as an education game. 4 do is bugged. hope to update this review higher someday

3 stars on every level in about 6 hours with virtually no idea how anything works. Looks good, plays well, and keeps your focus. There were some challenging moments, but how else do you learn? I thought there was a bug, but I'm just literally an idiot. Helpful and fun, only a bit limited. Great work! Hope to see it grow beyond a few levels per concept, and certainly more concept coverage. Hopefully, I'll have nothing to learn from it by then lol

its pretty great. I suggest changing put down button to pass button, a mechanism to throw the box 2 step forward to other robots for a level with toxic water dividing them and they trying to sort the box, but the position of the conveyor is on other side and using if for a certain robot, otherwise if the robot doesnt have any box in the hand, it will move one step, and if it fail to throw it, the box will land somewhere 2 step in front, if the box thrown in the acid, the game will fail instantly
