Improved “Curious Robot” 2 B further improved
If our species is to survive ... thousands of inspired games like this must be written for the new generations !
Positive notes:
1. - the newly added explanations are very beneficial, well done, yet more explanations and facts can be added about inorganic and organic molecules, minerals, and bacterial, vegetal and animal biochemistry.
2. - the general flow and logic of the game have been substantially improved ...
3. - the way this game introduces the (sound) wave concept is absolutely brilliant !!!
4. - the chemical bond puzzles is a good idea and could be extended to the cellular structure !!!
Suggestions/ Critique:
0. - please think of more (fundamental) ways to make the game more playful !
1. - could you find a way to introduce the element atoms and their structure — possibly from the inside of a star, gradually stepping to the cooler plasma in the photosphere ?
2. - the liquid state animation should be greatly improved
3. - cannot talk about thermonuclear reactions BEFORE states of aggregation !!!
Similar playful games should be created about the...
00. - the logic of everyday life decisions
0. - the scientific method and design of the experiments
1. - fluid dynamics, reactive propulsion and flight
2. - nuclear reactions that generate all elements, stellar life-cycle
3. - laws of all energy conversion — photoelectric, piezoelectric, induction etc. etc.
4. - cell structure & life cycle/ cell physiology.
5. - maglev and associated propulsion
6. - relativistic time travel
etc. etc.

Fantastic and intuitive educational game
At first some of the science themes aren't very obvious but you they start users learning about the powers of 10 (magnification) and what objects you can see at the millimeter, micrometer, and nanometer scale. You learn a bit about molecules, phase transitions at different temperatures, and much more!
Pros:
- great for young children who might not understand names or more complex concepts
- fun and short
Cons:
- some of the concepts aren't too obvious, even as a scientist (post grad school) I had to think a bit to catch a concept
- UFOs are fun but not very scientific
Recommendations:
1. Having a label or description would be invaluable for connecting concept to future knowledge
2. It would be cool to have an info button where users could learn more about the concepts they are seeing
Thanks for the great app!

Response from developer
Hello! Thank you very much for the review, it was very important for us to hear the feedback. "It would be cool to have an info button where users could learn more about the concepts they are seeing" -- we agree. And actually there is such a button. You can tap on the robot sitting in the corner of the screen and get all the info. We have made this obvious in the latest release. We hope you'll find the app more useful now. Good luck!
