I love this simple and really fun game. And that it really teaches proper programming concepts without having to be able to read.
WAY too fast for young children! The concept is good, but the commands go way too quickly with too much going on at once. If this was my app, I would have a "one step at a time" speed that highlights individual commands as they're sent to the lightbot, with a pause between each command. (Like have each command pop up to centre screen, fade, then act.) As it is, my 4 y.o. daughter is having a hard time making the connection between the commands and the actions... That's sort of the whole point!
Doesn't work on a10 samsung.
just so much yes and brain hurts for my 4-year old

My 4 year old daughter got the hang of it really quickly. She loves that game.
This stuff is so cool, although my 5yo kid got lost when the requirement of procedures arised at a point. Still a gem.
