Awesome game but….. – Osmo Pizza Co. Review

The concept of this game is awesome. My 4 year old does loves it. However I have a few issues. 1. The made up language the characters speak. I read on the Osmo support page that it’s “Osmolian”. It’s a make believe language. Why? It makes no sense. This is a learning game. So now my 4 year old repeats a nonsense language. I would love if each character spoke a basic word or 2 from an actual language. Not only would kids be learning about addition, subtraction, fractions and basic money management from this game - they would also learn a little bit of a different language. Osmo support suggest “turning down the volume” if you find the “Osmolian Language” distracting. The sounds of the game add to it, why would we want to play a game in silence? 2. Sometimes the game works fine, other times it doesn’t. My son will follow the order exactly and for whatever reason, it doesn’t pick up the ingredients or shows ingredients on the pizza that aren’t on there. Or a character will appear with his or her order and you complete it and send it through the oven and the character gets angry and leaves and shows a completely different order that they wanted. I have updated the iPad, i have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, I have adjusted the lighting, I have wiped down the iPad and the camera and reflector piece. My son gets really frustrated when those things happen. We do really like this game, it has so much potential, however the made up language the characters speak, and the constant glitches are really a bummer.
