Ratings and reviews

Love the game concept but, game controls are unresponsive most of the time. Specially when making your own pop-up. My child would get frustrated because he cannot drag the objects across the screen.

Unfortunately the puzzles are unplayable as the pieces go off screen and we are forever left with a 28 out of 30 pieces. Otherwise the game is very basic and enjoyable for children.

I'm unsure about this app it doesn't want to load, why haven't they fixed these bugs! Ha, ha bugs... Anyway there's loads of complaints but I gave it a go and it doesn't work for me either sadly. It's pretty cry worthy considering how much I love the hungry caterpillar for me and my daughter.
