Community Insight:
Helps every one in family learn more.
Wish there were more levels, this was entertaining, we also wish you got rated out of three stars on your design per level kinda like other games. Wish we knew the number of trys while doing the levels. Also the screen doesnt rotate when flipping the game on the phone.
