■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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 ■ 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 ■ 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.

Robozzle Reboot brings back the classic robot-programming puzzle game to iOS — write tiny programs to guide a robot around a grid, collect every star, and reach the end. No syntax to memorize: every puzzle is solved by dragging instructions into place. HOW IT WORKS Program your robot with a small set of building blocks: move forward, turn left, turn right, paint a tile, and call one of five subroutines (F1–F5). Any instruction can be conditioned on the color of the tile the robot is standing on, so a handful of slots can express surprisingly deep logic. Run your program step-by-step or at full speed, and iterate until every star is collected. CAMPAIGN + COMMUNITY PUZZLES Work through a curated Campaign of puzzles from Robozzle's original creators, sorted by difficulty from your first steps to genuine head-scratchers. Or dive into Community Puzzles — the full catalog, searchable and sortable, with ratings from other players. BUILD YOUR OWN Design and publish your own puzzles with the built-in puzzle editor. Lay out the grid, place stars and colored tiles, test your solution, then share it with the community. TRACK YOUR PROGRESS Sign in with Apple to claim a pseudonym, appear on the global Leaderboard, and rate the puzzles you play. Earn points for every puzzle you solve, and pick up right where you left off — your progress is saved automatically. NEW TO ROBOZZLE? Start with the in-app Tutorials, a short series of levels that introduce each instruction one at a time. Robozzle is an original game by Igor Ostrovsky and other contributors (robozzle.com). Robozzle Reboot is a fresh implementation, built with the original author's agreement.
