Stuck??

Can’t get past a certain level, no help, no hints, no explanation what you are doing wrong, you just have to start over to the same end.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that you’re stuck. Hints wouldn’t really work short of giving players the answer, so we recommend trying the following: retry the puzzle you’re stuck on and run your program piece by piece to make sure you aren’t using any extra commands. You can also review any explanatory examples in previous puzzles using the ? button. You will have all the tools you need to solve a level at any time; there’s nothing hidden from you- it is a puzzle to work out after all. If you’re completely stuck there may be walkthroighs on the web, but we sadly don’t provide that ingame. Good luck and we hope these tips can make your reconsider your rating.

A great start to coding

I’ve got 2 of my granddaughters to have a go at this, one 6 years, the other 11. It’s a little tricky for the 6 year old and certainly it helps with an adult teaching. Great graphics. I’ve come back to it alone and moved onto swift. I really see the connection. There are times, however when there are just no clues. Keep it up, every bit of encouragement helps. Roy, Uk.

I am very happy about this app, but i only started yesterday and im on the last world. I really would like more worlds and more coding puzzles

Fun but crashes constantly

Like the title says, this is a fun game, but it crashes constantly.

Some of the other reviews say that this is good for five year-olds, but I'd say it's more appropriate for teenagers.

Response from developer

Hi OnceIWasCool Thank you for your review! We dug in and tracked down the reason for the constant crashing- it was a bug we accidentally introduced in v1.0.4. Please update to the latest, v1.0.5, which we released to specifically fix this issue. Thank you for reporting this and do let us know if you have any further issues! As to your second comment, we do recommend that the game is for approx ages 7 and up, but with no real upper age limit.

Incredibly well done

This app was able to help my five-year-old understand the basics of coding through a fun and engaging environment.

Awesome balance of fun and learning

This is a fun and engaging introduction for someone you want to get interested in coding or someone who has an interest but doesn't know anything.
