Picked up this game because I wanted an interactive learning tool for my 5year old. This app has a great design, artwork, and concept, but could definitely be improved:
1. User Clarity- users are given no instruction about the story, overall goal, immediate goal, procedure, or navigation of this game.
2. Breadcrumbs- Even when they are seemingly doing the “right” things there is no reward system (something as simple as a colorful sound cue to tell you you’re on the right track)
3. Designer Clarity- the designers should ask themselves, what do we want users to learn aka the “learning goal”, and what exactly is the action the user is taking through trial and error to understand that concept. Actions like: identification, matching, listening or reading comprehension, analysis, exploration, synthesis...
4. What is it?- is this a game? A diagram or map? An interactive experience? A testing or assessment tool? It could be any of all of these. And as an app you have to pay for, it has to do at least one very very well.
So many things could be fixed by adding instruction via voiceover, making buttons bigger, and considering user experience. I would love to come back after changes have been made to praise this game, but as of now, it’s confusing and not worth the price.
