This is a great learn-to-code app. I have an MS in computer science, and I use this with my elementary school students. It introduces important programming structures such as methods, loops, return statements, and debugging. It is simple enough for beginners with only three major commands: move, turn, light (on/off). My first graders can solve were the first levels, but they would need instruction before they could handle levels which need recursion or loops. The puzzles are fun.
Ok, I am 10 years old, can you make one for older kids? It was lots of fun, it was easy for me though. My 4 year old brother could solve some of them.👍it was fun, mind you, but also add some more levels please! If you come out with more, I will download!! Great free app if you're interested in programing!😁🎮 Have a good day (or good afternoon) random strangers I don't know!😘 ❤️
It's a fun little game but it should have more levels and more mechanics like end loop condition or more files for actions and so on. it will help the game and give it more educational look. If you ever do this the rating is up to 5 stars. Also for those saying the game is too easy it's not meant to be that complex.
This is a really great app. My son (5) has completed about half of it and he loves it. I wish there were more challenges after the last one (maybe conditionals and variables). The best programming game I ever played was "chipwits" on there original Mac, but this is close.
a great introduction to programming. it won't teach anyone how to code, but it does give some fundamental notions while making it very visual and easy. it's about as fun as actually learning something so complex can get.
I like the premise of the game but I can't get past level 5. I need 13 moves in order to complete the sequence but it only allows me 12. When I opened the game it said that it was created for an older version of android os and that it may not work correctly. I'm not sure if this is the problem or if I truly am missing something.
Great introduction to logical thinking! The simplicity with which concepts are introduced is awesome. I am sad to see there are no more recent developments, but the game is still great with good graphics, running fine on Android 9.
Entertaining puzzles that are a bit like programming, aimed at kids. Doesn't take long to complete. Might get someone interested in coding. Small thing: infinite recursion isn't a loop but I don't suppose it matters.
It is great for beginners to start but there aren't many levels so the game shortly comes to an end,that is my only problem. But other that that this has been a great coding game and I am glad I installed it. The is really addictive and will keep you motivated.
I loooove procedural puzzles based on coding logic. There's way too little content that does this. This app is fun but the puzzles can be all solved in less than 15mn. Can't really recommend to play it for so little content, but there is a good foundation to this app.
Great game for teaching coding basics. There is a message about being designed for an older version of android but it still works fine as of Feb 2021; I just beat all the levels quick to test it.
BRILLIANT! I love it.It's fun game to help with programming your own games and a Brain-exerciser.Maybe you just to give micro-tiny hints for the hardest levels (e.g.P.I code icon goes in main box.etc.) Then this game will be perfect.And when finish the short version,you will have mastered animating created characters for your own games !
A wonderful little game but very, very, very short. Needs much more levels. Also an ability to mute music but not sound effects.
Wish there was more content. Also the transition to the final level was a very big jump in complexity compared to previous levels.
I love this app because I also used it at school and it was one of the apps we did for fun in library and its really fun the way you have to move multiple directions to finish its kinda hard to explain but its really fun.
honestly not wish there were more levels completely it in like an hour still really fun tho. except the last level 3 one.
It was WAY to short and I got stuck on the last level forever. It was really annoying and not fun. I would constantly get bored of the game and it wasn't that enjoyable 😮💨
Fabulous app! What a shame it is so short.... The idea is wonderful and it is very well made. Congratulations to the team!
My 5 and a half year old grandson and I both enjoyed this app. I couldn't believe that recursive programming could be taught at such an early age, I'm only 58 ;). As stated by many others I wish there was more.
Very good, while it lasted. But got over as the puzzles were starting to become a challenge. Expecting more content in the future.
This game is phenomenal it presents code and programming in a very approachable and easily understood way The artstyle and design is adorable My only complaint would be a huge difficulty spike in the final level.
Fantastic and interesting! I hope the developer can push some update to the app so that it will be fully compatible with Android 12 for a full screen experience...
Nice app to learn the concept of programming. I wish if there were more levels to play
It's a very nice game, straight to the point with instructions... brain cracking puzzles...I love it
After playing this game my All banking application is blocked and showing security thread error. This is harpful it's take confidential information from your mobile devices. Please not believe 1 millions downloader.
Nice game for toilet entertainment! I dont even programming yet this game is very clear on tips, you can solve puzzle in many ways of solving! Would play more levels if dev updates it or maybe allows us to create our own levels??
Amazing! I love the concept, design and its executions. Thank you for builing a game as such and also no ads!
I'm not within the intended age range, just wanted to check out the coding basics. This is a really fun way for kids to both learn and play. I noticed you could complete the levels may different ways, so maybe once the level is finished it could show the optimal way to complete each level.
