What our experts think
This was a very popular app with our testers who really got their teeth into the challenges. There are a wide range of skills developed including learning to pay attention to detail, memory and concentration, all of which are useful skills for learning in school.
We found that defeating the aliens was a very good motivator, as children were keen to achieve the score needed to power up the cannon. We also liked how the game continued on when children got the wrong answer, so they weren’t put off playing.
