User reviews

For young kids who are overwhelmed by the typical “intro to coding” games

For young kids who are overwhelmed by the typical “intro to coding” games this is amazing. I will use it and let my grandson use it for a while and come back to update but i think this may be a game/tool people are missing for some reason. Love it so far.

Super bad

On one of the levels when Aurora is trying to rescue her dad from the puppets the dad is supposed to disappear like shown in all YouTube videos but when I played it the dad didn’t disappear.

Response from developer

This issue is resolved in the latest version. Thanks for playing!
