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

Wow! Really good wow! Finished the game in about 1.5 hours, with full stars on each level. Would be nice if there where more levels and concepts to this game (for example calling a function with variables). Would also be nice if it was a bit more text based, rather then preset "function calls". People starting out coding will have lots of fun figuring out how to code efficiently. Experianced coders will at least burn an hour or two of great fun!
