Please give hints
I have to deal with the pain that I’m trying to pass KickBox…but the problem is that there is just no flipping hints….we all have to struggle so please just add hints to make it easier,
Thank you
Thank you
Brilliant app
Love playing this app and sharing it with my pupils.
Hints, please
Our school utilizes the full program and the kids love it! They don't typically struggle until they reach the challenge section with Big Seed and Kick Box. I also allow students to play the apps during math centers. I know that the makers of this program would like to see kids persevere in solving a puzzle, but sometimes a little hint is needed. For the full program I have made "cheat sheets" for my students. After they have made so many attempts on a particular puzzle I will help them by telling them where one laser or one bar definitely belongs. This helps them tremendously, even when there are five more bars and lasers that still need to be placed. I would like to see this as an added feature in an update to the apps, especially Kick Box.

Still great after all these years
My kids had the full program years ago. I commented why they’re playing games, when should be doing homework. But it was homework. Imagine that, learning is actually fun. But I couldn’t log into their school account to play the games, that would be cheating. There’re KickBox and BigSeed, without the full subscription. I still play both games, long after my kids graduated from that charter school.

Glitches
I have glitches so please fix
Great for math
Wonderful game for geometry and thinking. Creates habits of mind.
Best challenging free puzzle game
This is the best free puzzle game I've found! The challenges start off simple and then get increasingly difficult. By the end, one puzzle took me over four hours to solve. I was frustrated enough that I would have taken a "hint" or "free pass" if offered, but none existed; so, I persevered. It was so rewarding to eventually figure it out!

Foundational Learning
This is great for building schema in young children or adding missing pieces to older students. The other review about the "worst game ever" missed the point. This does not use judgements of right and wrong, only feedback and results. I love it.
Doesn't work; no instructions; crashes
Not at all clear what is suppose to happen. Crashes frequently, instructions not helpful. No idea what one is supposed to do in the first level - nothing to click on and no guidance available.
Stupid
This is the worst game ever
Disappointed
I tried playing this game before giving it to my children. I don't know if it's a glitch or intentional but the constant flashing hurt my eyes and gave me a headache and I couldn't even play it. I've seen too many warnings at the beginning of video games about the risk of flashing lights and seizures to let my kids attempt this. I love the ST math program, but I'm really disappointed in this app.

Flashing too much to enjoy
The game was fun, but the flashing is too annoying.
game flashing
Game flashes on and off making it impossible to play. Is there a solution to this besides not playing the game?
That was fun!
I learned about these games from my son, who is in first grade. I think st math is a great program, though I think the challenge levels may be too difficult for young children, because they could negatively affect a child's confidence and natural exuberance. These puzzles are a fun challenge for adults, though, and I wonder what age they are meant for. It took me almost 5 hours to complete all levels in the dreambox standalone app, but I imagine they could be frustrating for many elementary school students.

School. Recommended
I found this app pretty good . I played a few games before giving it to my child , however when I tried to reset to clear my scores . The app freaks out and shouts down . Please fix any bugs .
Not just for students
I am a PhD level scientist and also find these games fun and challenging. In fact, it is so fun I have recommended it to all my friends. It is so challenging though that I am completely stumped on two of the final bonus levels. I agree with the other reviewers that some sort of hint or help would make this a five star game. I am all about persevering, and I understand the necessity of challenging a player/student, but there comes a point where you give up because there is no help. I feel that this level of challenge is counter to the goals of the MIND institute.

Not As Addicting As Your Other Game, Big Seed.
On a comparison with KickBox and BigSeed, BigSeed would win because it's essentially more addicting and more educational.
Challenging spatial relations game
This is a fun way to practice spatial relations problem solving. I enjoy playing it as an adult and my child enjoys it too. However we have gotten stuck on one problem and can't advance, and there is no help available. Please, please, add a hint feature. Perhaps the hint could become available after a certain amount of working time has lapsed without success. If there were help, I could rate this 5 stars.
