Ratings and Reviews
Great, but there are a few things
Okay so, this game is PERFECT, but it’s short.
Good science game (but we want more)
I want to take a star away because I think this game should be longer. What is there is a good (if brief) overview of the cardiovascular system. But the game left me and my kids feeling like we wanted to explore more (more science and more games).
We are going to give this game 5 stars anyway because because my kids loved the art and humor. It kept their attention longer that I thought it would. At first I thought "Monsters? Really?" But it was refreshing to see there wasn't the gross-out humor you get in a lot of kids games. It feels a lot like a graphic novel and was appropriate for my kids (age 9 and 10).
Please add NARRATION
This app seems amazing, but is not accessible for my students with dyslexia or other learning disabilities. The iPad voiceover function will not work with this app. Adding narration would make this so much better.
