[Reviews]
My elementary school kids got addicted. Although it is very simple game, kids can learn words with having fun with their parents. 4 stars (k-matsu Japan)

Awfully addicting. Dangerous. 4 stars (Kojima Japan)

I play most in the games that I have downloaded!! It would be better if I could play music in my iTunes playlist during playing the game. 4 stars (Shiitake-kun Japan)
