I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Codespark! Please read developer!
Hi! I’m a 👧who loves this game and I play it all the time! It’s so fun and I love sharing my projects ( and P. S. I wrote a review before! Anyways, I love this game and this is really great because it’s so fun and great at learning with coding. My parents say it’s not REAL coding, but I disagree and I love this game and I play it almost everyday so yeah. Anyways, let’s see about the complaints, well theirs a bug in splash clash and when I am playing in splash clash and finding someone to play with it says description of the message so I get confused 😐. But once something worse happened in it! I was about to play with the person online but instead something worse . So I was about to play with the person online and it made the AI play instead of the person online and I had to go back so I was really mad 😡 that that happened because no one showed up. But that only happened once. But the rest is great. 😊 Anyways I just posted the Transform the Floor contest. Tell Fooville Legends I said hi. So bye now! Have a nice day and don’t give up on this game because I LOVE it! So byyyye now! - Ella Ghost Glitch kid coder. Oh and here are a few rules: IF YOU ARE A READER DO NOT GO AND FIND MY PAGE ON CODESPARK!!!!!! If you do I will be mad! Developers please read!

Awesome! But maybe you would suspect some updates?
Hello! I just llloooooovvvvveeeee this game! (This is my 2nd favorite game ever and my first favorite game on my iPad.) BUT... maybe I would recommend some updates. #1: Maybe you can add some more cool pet foos like bees and cows and stuff and #2: Maybe you could make your own pet foos just like how you make foos, but with pet foos. #3: Maybe you could add some more puzzles. #4: Maybe you can change the dance of a foo or pet foo like in a platformer game I added a partner for Megahertz and when they win, Megahertz does a cool dance but his partner does a normal foo dance. And it makes me mad. Other from the updates, it’s an awesome game/app and it’s how I first learned coding. (And one more thing, #5: Maybe you can just tell me what is this coding language because I know it’s not scratch. There is a #6 but I’m not going to tell it to you in this review.) EDIT: There’s something unusual that’s happened as #7: I was editing one of my foos but when I tapped on the foo, the coding area didn’t show up. I tried closing the app and my iPad and the coding area still didn’t show up. And this happened twice. Please fix this. Thanks for reading! Developers please respond!

I like it but I think I need some updates
Hi I really like this game but one problem is that I think I need some few update for example, like what if you can comment on adventure, stories, and games and what if you can add like a back section in created a foo oh, so what if we have a random which means that they can get so many ideas and what if you can add some new pets foos or other stuff or maybe you can add a customize foos and pet section. That would be so much fun. I remember this. Third grade. Plus, I think we need some ideas of adventures stories and games one more thing I think we need some other puzzles of like what is that megahertz has a problem finding the bad guy and other stuff one last thing, what if you can add some more to the other stories, and the very last thing what if you can add like even more pets, and and so many other things in the other sections and maybe you can add like a lot of more badges and maybe you can add a splash crash badge it may be at the things in a crate a foo plus you maybe you can get some more profile and that’s a all have to say so goodbye, and I cannot wait
