Game Play:
This game doesn’t crash (or hasn’t so far), but it’s irritating that I need to add my email address just so I can play, as I really dislike giving out my email to anyone I don’t know. The animation is well done and the game doesn’t choke or crash.
RATINGS:   Based on a 1-10 scale

Summary:
It’s irritating that the icons/buttons are difficult to identify what they do. In order for me to understand what’s going on and what I need to do, I go through the tutorial every time, which means I need to uninstall the game and then reinstall it, which is tedious and irritating. Uninstalling the game, as it’s just too irritating to be confused with a game intended to just waste some time.
Ups:
·         The art is very well done
·         The animation is also very well done
·         The beginning of the game, when you first install it, the tutorial is beneficial
Downs:
·         The tutorial only shows up when the first player starts, not when a second player is added, so the second player is clueless when they start the game, needing a reinstall every time a player is added
·         Some of the graphics/animation can be very sensitive and moves too fast sometimes
·         Some parts of the tutorials are unclear and confusing
·         Too many ads
·         Eats up the battery quickly



·         The buttons for items have icons, but not very well described

Summary: This game has wonderful graphics, keeps the player’s brain going, challenging and educational. I haven’t been able to get past the first level, but it’s very fun! I’m not very fond of the time it takes to load the game, but it’s very forgivable, because the graphics and gameplay are awesome!
Ups:
-Educates people about what can affect your health and how you can prevent these risk factors in your own body
-Great artwork
-Great animation

Downs:
-Well, it’s kind of a big game to download, so it won’t work on my phone, but not really a big deal
-You can’t undo automatically upgraded things in the game
