Great and very interactive!
So cool and informative but entertaining. How do u go to chemistry though? {:-)
I was so excited when this game first appeared onto my device because for ages I've been searching for the perfect research for fish. Sadly this game didn't show much quality in learning. It would be fun if you had a whole range of fish to explore but you did not.
