This game almost brought me To tears from playing it after 12 years.

I was in the mood and missed my childhood and decided to replay this game. I remember playing this game all the time as a child. I remember trying my best to spell the words right on the hardest level, trying to mix and match up the rocket ships, getting frustrated when I couldn’t collect that one star and the end… Playing this game really brought the memories back where I didn’t worry about a thing and life was good and you didn’t overthink about whether or not your life mattered if you never lived to see another day or if You really could get that dream job or live feeling as if life would ever make me as happy as I was again In the old days playing this game. parents if you are reading this, please consider getting this game for your younger child, but make sure they also experience the joy of youth and experience the world. Thank you for reading. Wonderful game. Very nostalgic. Would recommend.

My three boys love this app

This is such a great educational app for my three boys to play. My five-year-old enjoys having the sounds repeated back to him, allowing him to play this game autonomously.

My kid seems to like it

Nice graphics. Not too annoying sounds. Keeps my hellions occupied.

Worst app

Is this really worth a $. It hardly has few words and it keeps repeating the same words. Literally not at all a worth a penny.

Review. My child loves this game
