Beautiful, Fun, & Educational

First off, I dont understand why this game was designed for ages "9-11." Im 25 years old, with an IQ 42 points above average, and this game has definitely been very challenging for me! This is a beautifully designed and challenging app. After I played the demo, I made this app the first app purchase Ive made in a year or so, it was well worth it.

A brief summary of what you can expect:
Your role in the game is that of a programmer, programming the robots actions in each puzzle. You tell him/her to go forward, turn, jump, light up the square he/she is standing on, etc. The goal of each level is to light up all of the blue squares with the shortest list of commands possible (shortest amount of code). In the process, youll learn some pretty advanced concepts, such as creating a loop, creating conditions (do this if this), and stopping a loop with conditions.

To the creators:
With all the praise I have for the game, and my encouragement for anyone and everyone interested in coding, let alone puzzles to purchase Lightbot, I dont think my review could be complete without giving honest and constructive feedback on ways the app could be improved. So with that said, the following feedback is for the developer.

By far the primary way Id love to see the app grow, is in level creation. Some of the new features of the game were jumped in to quickly, because of the shortness in amount of levels. I felt while playing as if 1 tutorial level was given to each new concept, and then the difficulty skyrocketed in comparison on the second level in. Id like to see 2 or 3 levels progressing in difficulty to the harder challenges, so as to lower the difficulty level between levels and make them more like gradual inclines rather than sharp mountain faces. Other than that, more levels in general is always a welcome thought, not just more easy levels, but more difficult levels as well; difficult ones coupled with new concepts and ideas. More levels, and a longer more epic game! -please

Additional levels would be by far the biggest improvement to the game in my opinion, but additional reward for winning challenges would also be nice. It was great challenging the player to get through a lesson in 12 moves or so less. The presence of challenge stars made me realize in some levels that my commands werent perfect, which is good and challenging. I wish there had been more reward for winning challenges than just filling out an empty gold star. Perhaps if you complete all of the challenges you unlock a third robot? Or something similar?

Unlocking additional content and being able to customize the robot would be my last and final bit of input. I think it would be cool to be able to unlock things or change the robot in some way.

Thanks for making this app!
