ā–  Programming ideas, learned through play Code Monsters is a battle game where kids arrange instruction blocks to program a monster's strategy. Sequencing, loops and conditionals — the foundations of programming — are learned by building, battling and revising, not by reading explanations. - Step-by-step lessons introduce one idea at a time - Kids try sequencing, loops, conditionals, multiple rules and enemy-state sensing - Watch the result, revise the strategy and try again. Iteration becomes part of the game. ā–  Build a strategy, then watch your monster battle The blocks use kid-friendly labels with icons. Once the battle starts, there are no real-time controls. Win or lose, the result comes from the strategy your child built. What happens when "move closer and attack" is not enough? "If the enemy is charging, guard." "Move away, then shoot." "If HP is low, heal." By changing the order, loops and conditions, kids can discover their own way to win. ā–  Collect and grow your monsters - Monsters learn new skills as they level up - Stamp memorable "it worked!" moments - Earn titles and customize monsters with coin-based skins ā–  Fresh challenges every day - Today's Task: a rotating set of daily puzzles with coin rewards - Today's Challenger: a daily battle against an official work or a community creation - Share strategy codes and browse the gallery to learn from other players - Start by copying a strategy and changing just one thing ā–  For parents - Designed for ages 8+, with a planned 9+ store rating - Battles play automatically. The main activity is thinking through the strategy, not fast tapping. - There are no ads in the app. - In-app purchases are coin packs for cosmetic items only. - Coins are only for customization. Power cannot be bought. - Public gallery posting is protected by a parental gate.

You can make your own hide-and-seek. Paint to hide, then hand your phone over — a hidden-picture game you can play on one phone. ā–  Paint to hide a character in the picture Place the character anywhere you like, pick up the surrounding colors with the eyedropper, and paint over with the brush. That's all it takes to create a one-of-a-kind hunt. The character's name is Saga. Hiding and seeking both happen right on this one phone — no internet needed. ā–  Hand your phone to the person next to you Once Saga is hidden, just hand your phone to the person next to you — the game is on. "Wait, where?!" "No way, THERE?!" Parents and kids, siblings, friends. Share the excitement of the big reveal together. ā–  Find Saga hiding in the picture Now it's their turn: Saga is camouflaged somewhere in the illustration. Look closely and make that one decisive tap. Enjoy the "There you are!" moment. Every tap tells you how far you are: "Far", "Close!", or "Almost!" — and if you still can't find it, hints will guide you. ā–  Post to Everyone's Hunts, and players worldwide take the challenge (online) Post your hunts to Everyone's Hunts, the online feed. Players from around the world will try them — and getting a like feels pretty good. Of course, you can also take on hunts made by others. You get exactly one try per hunt. The faster you find it, the higher your score, and that single-shot score decides the ranking for each hunt. ā–  Safe and easy - No sign-up — download and play right away - Report and hide-author features included Privacy Policy: https://sagasoo.web.app/privacy/en/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
