This is a very interesting game, I don’t quite think it’s aimed at the younger kids as some of the puzzles can be quite frustrating as well as difficult. I ended up playing it for about a half hour before I got frustrated and shut it off for a little bit but I will be playing it again.

The graphics are exceptional and very pretty, but the sound can be repetitive and annoying sometimes. The gameplay for me was good at first, but I found it got kind of boring, because you seem to be doing the same things over again, picking up acorns and pushing blocks around so you can climb higher and get over certain obstacles.

This would be a great game for those with patients and good puzzle solving abilities. The price for this game is too much in my opinion (at $4.99), I think it would be better valued at $0.99 or $1.99.
