A little hard

So I got the game and I went to the first level and it was easy so I went to the second round and it was very hard that’s why I gave you three stars please read this developer🙂

New levels at last!!

My daughter has been waiting years for the new levels that said ‘coming soon’ and she is so happy they’re finally here!

No reset position.

There really needs to be a Home button that resets the Bee’s location. That way, students can clear their program and try again. As it is, they need to write a new program from where the Bee is currently.
