Make your own Inch Worm strategy puzzles. Learn the ropes. Then position the walls, arrows, and homes. Add acorns, cherries, leaves, snails, ladybugs, and dragonflies. Solve your own puzzles. Get some mental exercise. It’s all about critical thinking. Problem solving. Planning. Design. Where to start. What to avoid. Some kids think it all through. Others just go for it. Make some mistakes. Go back. Try again. It’s all good. And loads of fun. 13 blocks | 13 characters | 30 levels | Ages 7 to adult. White Pixels | Better games. Smarter kids. DESIGNED FOR KIDS Inch Maker is fun for everyone, but it was designed with kids in mind. It’s safe, non-violent, and ad-free. It runs offline. There are no in-app purchases and no links to outside content. DESIGNED FOR THE CLASSROOM Inch Maker is all about design, implementation, testing, planning, problem solving, logic, and critical thinking. It’s great fun to make puzzles, then exchange devices so others can try to solve them. Students can swipe between the levels, to pick up where they left off last time they played. You can completely reset the game in just two taps, so it’s ready for the next class. DESIGNED FOR SPECIAL NEEDS Inch Maker was designed with special needs in mind. There’s no timing involved, so kids on the autism spectrum can proceed at their own pace. The critters and homes are distinguished by both color and the shape of their little dots, so color blindness is never an issue. Gameplay only requires tapping, so people with mobility impairments will have an easier time. And there’s always “Go Back” and “Try Again”, so everyone can easily recover from any mistakes. I'd love to hear how it goes for you. Enjoy the game! Rick Meyers
