Crashes on startup. Tried downloading twice. Rebooted my iPad. No results. Was looking forward to playing. I guess not.
Cute, but buggy and s-l-o-w to load
Aieee!!!
Gerald is such a cute game; I wish the programmers had spent more time getting it right. It's EXTREMELY slow to load, both initially, and with each new level. It's got numerous bugs, the worst of which (so far) is that Level 38 doesn't seem to load at all! (And this means Levels 39 and 40 can't be accessed, either.) Another particularly annoying bug is that the sequential moves (1->2->3->4->5->6->1...) behave erratically. There was one level that I only got through by exploiting that bug, because it wouldn't work properly! There's very little documentation, which is good and bad. There's nothing wrong with teaching through exploration, but on the other hand the actual help is so cryptic that it's not very...um, helpful. On the positive side, it's a very cute concept, the character is adorable, the music is terrific, the sound effects are cute, and it's a terrific way to teach programming concepts (sneakily)! Here's hoping the developers will spend more time getting it solid, instead of just tossing it over the wall and moving on!
