Big Seed We are excited to present Big Seed to a larger audience. This was the first multistep thinking game to incorporate JiJi the penguin. Up until now, it has only been available in schools, which will often have a Big Seed hall of fame. The goal is to unfold the colored "seed" tiles to perfectly fill all the empty cells. Sound easy? Try to get through all ten levels without overheating your cerebral cortex to near boiling levels. If your scorched neurons force you to raise the white flag in defeat, it'll be infuriating to know that 2nd graders across the country charge through the whole thing as the culmination of MIND Research's award-wining ST Math curriculum! Features: * Fun and intuitive touch-driven controls. * Word-free problem solving. Suitable for all ages across the globe. * Final levels look deceptively simple, but will challenge even Nobel Laureates. * Graphs your progress. * Supports multiple profiles. * From the award-winning creators of STMath®. * All new puzzles for those familiar with the school version. * Proceeds support our non-profit mission of elevating math achievement. ## Key features - Unfold colored seed tiles - Fill empty cells perfectly - Word-free problem solving - Intuitive touch controls - Track progress with graphs - Support for multiple profiles ## Recent user reviews (10 of 30) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/bigseed/id482245645/reviews.md ### 5/5 — I PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE *2025-01-21, version 1.7.1* I PLAYED THIS IN 5TH GRDE AND IM IN 10TH ### 1/5 — 😤I’m just holding a grudge😡 *2024-11-22, version 1.7.1* ST math put me through a lot of pain not just me but all my friends and now I’m in middle school and luckily we don’t use it anymore and yes I do know this game is built two be like a claw machine so you just have to redo it so many times intel you get it right. I just want to add that why can’t ji ji just jump and why can’t ji ji just has at least three and if not three just give ji ji one life instead of two. So if anyone is thinking of downloading this I don’t recommend it. ### 3/5 — A bit to challenging 🤔 *2024-05-04, version 1.7.1* It kinda got a bit to challenging for me. Could you make it a little bit more easy? ### 5/5 — Great Game *2022-09-14, version 1.7.1* I enjoy solving the puzzles. Some are quite tricky. I am at the Ouch! level and have solved the first 3 puzzles. But I’m stuck on the 4th puzzle and beyond. I just don’t see the path to solving them. Anyone hints would be appreciated… ### 4/5 — DA GAME FUN *2022-09-14, version 1.7.1* This game is fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun ### 4/5 — Please for new update *2022-06-01, version 1.7.1* This game is awesome… but I want a new update. So you know when we all finish the level: Ouch! We’re done right? So I beg you please update the thing like to extreme or something like that. It is a cool game but that’s what I want. Thank you if you’re reading this! ### 4/5 — I uninstalled it because its not showing me my favorite color *2021-06-12, version 1.7.1* I uninstalled big seed because it thought my favorite color is blue 📘but its not blue it’s red📕blue is my third favorite color ### 5/5 — BIG SEED IS FUN BUT HARD *2021-02-27, version 1.7.1* Let me tell you how I know about this game.This how it started I was looking for ST Math with my dad for remote class we thought ST Math had a new update and new name but it wasn’t.And I tried it it was easy first but for flip flop last level it was so hard I would prefer you to make the level with 3 but instead everything is great and awesome ### 3/5 — Did you really have to do that😤 *2021-01-25, version 1.7.1* Honestly, This part of the game is utter nonsense like this isn’t even learning so basically it’s a game where you COLOR bricks and put them together and that’s just matching not learning otherwise it’s an awesome game!🙂 ### 5/5 — Great! *2020-04-27, version 1.7.1* I think it’s really fun, way better than ST math. You can fail as many times as you want and you don’t have to start over. It lets you see where it will fold (at least on iPad) and is sometimes hard, but not always. ## Frequently asked questions about BigSeed ### What is BigSeed?
