### 4/5 — Очень круто! Но мало уровней

*2023-10-22*

Игра очень классная! Но проходится максимум за час)

### 2/5 — Сделайте уровень 2-4 проходимым!

*2023-05-17*

2-4 просто не помещаются действия персонажа. Ставлю ⭐️⭐️ исправлю если заметите этот косяк

### 5/5 — Nice.

*2022-12-19, version 1.6.8*

I had vague memories of playing this when I was younger and saw that my dad downloaded it in 2016, so I got it and played through all the levels. 2-6 and 3-6 were challenging, but because of how simple the rest are, that made it more fun. I didn’t know that this was made by the same people who made code.org until I finished it and got the little digital certificate thingy. Pretty cool.

### 5/5 — Fun little game

*2022-12-13*

Not enough levels.  A couple levels have a bit of challenge.  I’m an adult and tried this game since my son was playing and it took a few days to finish.

Liked it, should add more levels.

### 3/5 — In stuck

*2022-10-14*

The tutorial is fun but what do I do when im done all the tutorials?

### 5/5 — Keeps me entertained

*2022-07-06*

When my mom is talking I like to play this game

### 4/5 — 너무 어려워요요ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

*2022-06-15*

큰별초 다니는 학생인데용 너무 어려워요오오ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ저 혼자서는 못해요유ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ그래도 게임 만드시느라 고생하셨어요오ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ사랑해요오ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ💗

### 4/5 — Procedures 😖

*2022-04-29*

Okay this game is fun and good for kids 😊 but on procedures (level 4) I cannot get past it because there isn’t enough space to complete it and finish it😥 which annoys me 😡 because the game was really fun 🥳but now I considered deleting the app until it is fixed, if you get it fixed let me know because I would like to complete the game 👍. 😐 P.S sorry if I sound like a Karen it’s just the bug annoys me and sorry if I annoyed you 😅

### 5/5 — 앙

### 3/5 — Very brief, once and done.

*2022-03-30*

Was enjoying it, for a brief moment, then it was over. 
I think an hour is a generous estimate, but less pressure is good for young and old alike when it comes to learning.

It’s a great way to get concepts across - though, it could probably benefit, from some descriptions, of use cases (to use out in the wild) for the concepts shared in the few levels offered here.

Simple, clearly laid out UI and well explained UX pathway.
A good example of a (though I feel it ought to be offered for free) teaser for a larger concept but not sure if it really qualifies as a stand alone offering.

A game made in this way, combining puzzles with conceptual learning is a fantastic way to go, when approached in this way.
I for one am looking forward to future offerings in this path into an ever evolving industry.

### 5/5 — I love it ❤️

*2022-02-02*

I love coding and this is a good level for me and it as really cool features like proc1 and proc2 and making the proc1 and proc2 go over and over again and lighting the squares wonderful delightful glorious

### 5/5 — Nice game, but I got stuck on level 7.

*2022-01-02*

So you see you need to make the actions box a bit more larger because I couldn’t fit the last movement in the box on puzzle 7

Great game though I’ve learned a lot and I hope other people will too

If you’re reading this review to see if it’s a good app then yes i recommend this app for kids who want to learn how to code 👩🏽‍💻!

And also it’s completely free not a single penny/cent 😊

### 4/5 — Great

*2021-12-31*

This game is amazing. It helps anyone develop and grow. I have 1 suggestion though. I suggest that you create a way to create your own games and animations with the skills that were learnt while coding.

### 3/5 — It is so hard

*2021-12-15, version 1.6.8*

I am stuck on stage 2 level 5 it is sooooo hard

### 5/5 — 코딩의 기본적인 구조를 잘 표현한 게임

*2021-11-27*

코딩을 처음 해보는 사람들에게 기초를 잘 알려주는 게임이네요^^ 근데 너무 짧아요 스테이지를 더 많이 만들어 주시면 좋을 것 같아요…

### 1/5 — Get a different game

*2025-06-08*

I can’t get past this level and my dad can’t even either cause he has it on his phone. It’s like why can’t I get past it and he can’t get past it too. Why does this has to be so hard get a different kind. OK it might cost you money

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-02-03*

1-7 is not possible there is no space!

### 1/5 — 앙앙

*2022-06-14*

친구가 너무 좋아하군요..자꾸 옆에서 웃어줘요 1-5에서 뇌정지.

### 1/5 — 나 삐짐

*2022-05-17*

나 삐짐

### 1/5 — Nobody can finish this

*2021-12-12, version 1.6.8*

It’s to hard for even first grade! My son is first grade and it’s to hard! Is it a fifth grade coding app? I think so… it’s one of the worst app’s.

### 1/5 — Level 2-4 is impossible

*2021-03-30*

So ya

### 1/5 — 노잼

*2020-12-29*

노잼이내요 3900짜리는왜만들었어요 아무튼 답변 부탁

### 1/5 — Developers have taken our money and run!

*2020-07-19*

Feel like I’ve been scammed here. 
All their apps have not been updated for over 3 years!

They haven’t even released new ones!!

DO NOT SPEND A SINGLE CENT WITH THIS MOB!

### 1/5 — There are only two genders.

*2020-07-07*

There should be more than two genders because they took the time to make to two genders. If there wasn’t then it could be gender neutral but there isn’t. There’s two.

### 1/5 — I’m Not a fan

*2020-06-27*

This game is good for only like 11-year-olds you start off basic and easy but then when you get to the third level loops it gets too hard and it is almost impossible do not download this appAnd also please make more levels and more easier levels thank you.

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2025-11-19*

Uma pena ser tão curto

### 5/5 — Great level design

*2025-05-17, version 1.6.8*

Got this for my very STEM minded almost 5 year old. He had a blast playing it with me. Levels are cleverly designed to introduce loop concept. He’s not able to do the loop levels by himself yet but he sort of got the idea already just in one play session.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2025-03-14*

i beat all the levels in this game after school

### 5/5 — I love this so much

Отличное приложение для детей и подростков. Игрушка, но развивающая - с основами программирования

### 5/5 — Приложение

*2023-06-09*

Это прекрасное приложение как для детей так и для подростков и т.д
