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

Torn between 4 and 5 stars, but it does teach a few very basic concepts and there are no annoying ads so that gives it the bump. the biggest knock is that it's extremely short and I wish they would explore the concepts deeper or at least have a few more very challenging levels. Overall worth a go
