About this game

Brushing Teeth becomes an entertainment

This game makes children enjoy brushing teeth.
Once you hold a toothbrush and face the camera, you will be transformed into a hero with iron war helmet on.
You can attack the monsters by brushing your teeth.
Aiming to let children get into the habit of brushing their teeth neatly, we made this app to level up the attack power as you brush your teeth from various angles.

Makes you want to try over and over

After playing the game, you will get "hero cards" depending on how many coins you acquired, and can level up your attack power. You will be able to beat more monsters.
This app supports your mind to brush your teeth proactively by a simple rule that the more you play, the stronger you will be, and go to the next stage.

If you beat dragons that appear every 30 stages, you'll get a new gorgeous hero helmet!

Ratings and reviews

Initially it was a hit and the kids loved it, but after a while it stopped recognizing the toothbrush half the time, so the kids got frustrated and lost interest. The toothbrushes were clearly visible on the screen, so I tried adjusting how near/far away the phone was, angle it was at, propping it vs holding it in my hand; none of that made a difference, it just kept not recognizing the toothbrush. Also, the timer is only 1 minute, so they have to do 2 rounds to get the recommended 2 minutes.

Like the idea but has a couple of major flaws: 1) I have more than one kid, and there is no option to create separate profiles, 2) both of my kids figured almost immediately that this is just a simple motion detector, meaning that they can just keep the toothbrush in one place, move it back and forth a little and the game counts it as brushing. Does little to help encourage proper brushing.

For a free game, it's brilliant and keeps my neurodivergent child interested in an otherwise boring daily chore. Just wish it would work consistently. So often it stops recognising faces and movements, and it's always halfway through the game. Would happily pay for better facial recognition.
