App Overview
The app reviewed is the free version. Please note there is a pro version available as an in-app purchase for $0.99 that removes the ads and unlocks all of the levels in the game.
How to Play:
- Select the Play button
- The next screen prompts a user to select a level. Note: The only level available in the free version is colors.
- After selecting the level, the game will start a one-minute timer counting down at the top of the screen
- A young gamer will watch as red or blue colored toys move down the center of the screen on a conveyor belt. Once the object gets to the checked area, it must be sorted to the blue side on the left, or the red side on the right.
- Select the object by touching a finger to the screen on the object and swipe it to the correct color bin
- The faster you sort, the higher points scored
Note: There is a hint button which displays arrows that point to the correct bin for the duration of the game.
