Ratings and reviews

It's a solid app thats very helpful in understanding the basics in application. The app doesn't necessarily do great in concept understanding. I recommend it as additional help not as a primary source. Regardless it is a quick learn, I downloaded it yesterday and finished it today. It uses space and music to create parallels to ease understanding.

This app is amazing! It teaches Linux commands one a time, each with an interactive component. They use their own GUI to help you visualise what the commands are doing and why. They even create these dumb little narratives (I mean that in the best way possible) to give the tasks more context and help it feel amusing to play. Overall they did an amazing job on this app. One small note for the devs: World 3 Lv 1, I thought I got soft locked bc removing the buttons were not intuitive enough.

I think this is a great concept of gamifing the learning of Linux concepts. Most lessons were engaging, explaining the concepts first and applying them later in activities. However, there is one major issue: there are very limited, basic lessons. I hope the developers will add more eventually as the learning system is engaging. Update: I had faced an issue, and the developers were responsive. This has the potential to be a good resource for learning about Linux, despite the very limited lessons.
