I understand that this may be a game to teach kids programming, but it is so slow that when you press play, you can go take a bathroom break before it's time to play the next level. And why do you have to go back to the level menu every time you complete a mission? There should be an option to go right to the next mission. Worst of all is that on my iPad Air 2 I was kicked out of the game in the middle of a level twice. When you go back in, you have to start over. It's an interesting concept that needs a lot of work.

As a teacher, I know that my students are going to be able to get more out of their futures if they have certain skills. Coding is one of them. As a technological immigrant (being born before such things as PCs and video games) I have to work so much harder for everything I want to learn in technology. My own children excel far greater than I, but games like this have helped me progress. How much better for those born into technology to be able to master these skills. Definitely worth it!

My kid loves this and has really taken to it. The higher levels are a real challenge which is of course great.

The game doesn't have any tutorial or any tip at all about what should be done and how. I had to spend a couple of minutes trying to click everything in order to figure out what to do in a game, and to explain it to a kid. After I, finally, had this figured out, the game is ok, but it sure lacks a start-up guide.

Love this app. The animated tutorials are brilliant, my 5 year old managed to figure it out on his own.

An excellent entry point into programming for young kids. The awards they can earn are a real motivator
