## Description

A coding game for kids 5 to 10, with no ads, no timers and no internet needed. Your child taps movement commands into a program, presses Run, and watches a friendly robot carry them out one step at a time across a grid.<br><br>That gap between &quot;what I built&quot; and &quot;what happened&quot; is where programming actually starts — and here it is visible, wordless and impossible to fail.<br><br>HOW IT PLAYS<br>• Tap forward, back, turn left or turn right to fill the program strip<br>• Press Run — the robot walks the program, with the current command lit up<br>• Wrong turn? Fix the strip and run it again. Nothing is lost, nothing is scored against you<br>• Wordless lessons: every new idea is shown in pictures, never explained in words<br><br>FOUR WORLDS, 34 HAND-MADE LEVELS<br>• World 1 — obstacles to route around, one command at a time (free)<br>• World 2 — keys to collect and the gates they open<br>• World 3 — solve it in no more than N commands<br>• World 4 — keys, gates and the command limit at once<br><br>Every level is machine-verified: a solver proves it is solvable and computes the shortest possible solution before the level ships. So there are no dead ends and no impossible puzzles.<br><br>TWO STARS PER LEVEL<br>One for finishing. One for finishing in the fewest possible commands — the reward for elegance, not for speed. There is no timer anywhere in the game.<br><br>WHY CODING THIS EARLY<br>Coding for kids does not start with text. It starts with putting actions in the right order, then working out why the result isn&#39;t the one you had in mind. That is all this coding game asks for — and it is the part that still helps years later, when a real language turns up.<br><br>MADE FOR PARENTS TOO<br>• No ads. None. No banners, no rewarded video, no cross-promotion<br>• Fully offline — plays the same on a plane, in the car, or with the router off<br>• No account, no sign-up, no email, no data about your child<br>• A parental gate (a short sum for an adult) guards the purchase, restore and every external link<br>• Anonymous crash and usage reporting can be switched off, and all local data deleted, in Settings<br>• Music, sound effects and haptics each have their own switch<br>• Seven languages, and screen-reader labels on every control<br><br>WHAT&#39;S FREE, WHAT&#39;S PAID<br>The first world — 12 full levels — is free, with all the sound, stars and coaching. One optional one-time purchase unlocks the remaining three worlds for the whole family. No subscriptions, no coins, no gems, no loot boxes.<br><br>Pre-syntax programming, for children who cannot type yet.
