Quick But Fun
The real Felicia Fitness
This is a great game about the heart. I love it. The motorcycle and running games are my favorite parts. It is quick but fun. Because of this game I learned that cholesterol is a thing. I got to see the making of it because my dad is the artist. I think that Felicia Fitness is a lot like me. I hope you like this game!
A great little game

Monster Heart Medic is a great game to teach kids about healthy living, the cardiovascular system, and how to dress a monster.
A Game with "Heart"
Noiseless Patient Spider
My nieces and nephew love this game! It's great to see find something fun for kids that that promotes healthy living. We need more adventure games in education! They really liked the monster stories, and started asking their parents all about the heart after finding out Ragnar's problem. Another satisfied patient for Monster Heart Medic!!!!
Entertained my niece and nephew

Great art and funny characters. Fun to play and informative. Help those monsters!
Good science game (but we want more)
We Love Monsters
I want to take a star away because I think this game should be longer. What is there is a good (if brief) overview of the cardiovascular system. But the game left me and my kids feeling like we wanted to explore more (more science and more games). We are going to give this game 5 stars anyway because because my kids loved the art and humor. It kept their attention longer that I thought it would. At first I thought "Monsters? Really?" But it was refreshing to see there wasn't the gross-out humor you get in a lot of kids games. It feels a lot like a graphic novel and was appropriate for my kids (age 9 and 10).
I need more of this game

My nine year old nephew LOVED this game. He bonded with Ragnar and wanted to help him get healthy. My sister was impressed that it held his attention in a joyful way. Well done!
Awesome game

I really liked the Monster Heart Medic game because it doesn't only entertain but also teaches kids. I love that it's made for a good cause. All the monsters are cute and the graphics is great. I wish there were more educational games like this one.
