What's good?

* It is engaging and interactive!

I was so excited when Ben got the answers right!

* This game is quite tough even to me! Just when I thought Ben had aced the challenges in the particular level, it speeds up and the challenges change! Whoaaa! Fun, fun, fun!

* This app challenges your memory and at the same time, teaches my child about shapes, colours, numbers and I think it is good for my child!

What's not so good?

Is it possible to have a 'Hint' option or message prompted before the new challenges start so that I could be prepared on what to expect?
