### 5/5 — Epic

*2025-01-16, version 1.3*

Games

### 1/5 — I AM SO MAD AT THE DEVELOPER AND THE GAME!!!!

*2022-08-22, version 1.3*

I AM RATING THE ONE STAR FOR SO MUCH BUGS!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Yee

*2022-03-19, version 1.2*

I like.

### 5/5 — Puzzle for programmers

*2021-02-25, version 1.2*

This game teaches programming concepts, but also rely on bad programming practices, like programs that's inefficient, hard to understand, and don't terminate properly. It's a game so that's ok.

I'm skeptical this is suitable for 9 to 11 year olds. Unless they are programming god, they would probably find this a difficult game. I've been playing for months and still haven't achieved all 3 blinking stars.

I hope the developer continues to improve this game or make a sequel. l will gladly pay for it.

### 1/5 — Cargo  Bot

*2021-01-15, version 1.2*

Once you get cargo bot you won’t be able to delete it, so don’t waste your time trying to get it and I give it 1 star for a very good reason if you bought it and you can’t delete it then don’t do it again.

### 5/5 — Tricky logical game

*2020-11-21, version 1.2*

The idea behind Cargo-Bot is simple but the execution demands preplanning logic. Excellent game. Hopefully I will finish all levels.

### 5/5 — Excellent game!

*2020-09-08, version 1.2*

I really enjoyed playing this game in Codea, and I was so surprised by the low rating in App Store. Apparently someone could find this game very “mentally bullying” and gave the angry one star. So I decided to download the game just to give 5 star to support the developer!

### 1/5 — The game is bad

*2020-09-03, version 1.2*

It doesn’t work, you need to fix it. The game doesn’t make sense and it is impossible to do and maybe next time when you make a game make it fun

### 4/5 — Good accessible programming game

*2020-01-28, version 1.2*

Recommend this for programmers and non-programmers alike.

Though if you approach it with object-oriented programming, be prepared to get one star on a lot of levels!

### 4/5 — Nice but:

*2019-07-03, version 1.2*

Nice, but I find it hard and there isn't enough space for the arrows and I................ :/
