Ratings and reviews

Some of the reviews here are surprisingly critical. As far as I can tell this is a really well put together app. It introduces the basics of play through a series of puzzles which build knowledge nicely from the total beginner level. To me they feel like the puzzles which more advanced players use, but aimed at beginners, so the same process of learning to recognise patterns happens. The theme is perfectly suited to under 10s, but the actual play is a good way for adults to learn too.

Nice concept! For play Vs kid, there should be a rating to track progress (to pair up against more even opponents too). Playing just to win "gold coins" doesn't make sense if improvement is the goal. Not a fan of using gold to unlock instructive content. Perhaps the gold can be used for customizing the avatar? Could be frustrating for a kid that already knows the moves having to play through the first lessons.

Wow ! What a chess app for kids. My 5 yr old loves it. What a way to learn. The quests are great (more please), and there are so many bosses all at a great level for beginner kids. Many other apps are way to hard for kids but not this one. He can fight zombies and mud monsters all day and have a chance to win. Well done team, great job !
