But he misses the game. But you also did not update the game in 1 year! [BONUS: can you add 10 please?] all your best, Sebee Studios Team. ### 5/5 — They can’t fly! They don’t have wings!:) *2024-09-14* I’m just trying to make a figure fly but it’s hard for flying right on top of the screen because it’s not really that hard and I don’t want it being too difficult for me. ### 5/5 — Best handwriting ever! *2024-09-07* Blue-Zoo, congrats on making a great app on my 8 year old son. He loves the alphablocks and the numberblocks! Don’t mind about the 1-star reviews, they’re wrong! And even though this costs four dollars, He enjoyed it! And he was so happy he even screen recorded! Congratulations blue zoo developers! **Developer response:** Hi, thank you so much for your stellar review, we're so glad to hear your son is enjoying his time with the Numberblocks and Alphablocks on our apps. Thank you for your support and best wishes, Team Numberblocks, Alphablocks, and Colourblocks ### 5/5 — Very Good! But... *2024-07-20* What about ColorBlocks? And the Alphablocks wheel should not only get to the straight line family. And what about other Numberblocks? ### 1/5 — Straight Line *2024-01-27* Only get the straight line family! Doesn’t go to anything else ### 5/5 — I know you guys will pick *2022-04-18* You all will probably pick numberblocks because numberblocks is more popular than Alphablocks ### 1/5 — >:( *2022-03-05* WHY DO I KEEP GETTING THE STRAIGHT LINE FAMILY!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Alphablocks, How to Write ### How does Alphablocks help children learn to write?
