IrishPirQueen, Teacher Recommended!!!On a hunch, I did a search in the App Store for the Zoombinis and was stunned to see that it was there in its original form. I just couldn’t wait to play! This is my favorite piece of software ever! As a teacher, I use to play with my third graders and I played it at home as did my friends. The kids utterly loved the adorable blue creatures on their escapades to reach the home of the Zoombinis.
They literally begged to play and I acquiesced. The logic skills they picked up! If I had to pick one piece of software for primary school students, I’d select the Zoombinis.In the beginning, each Zoombini receives cute little attributes for their hair, eyes, noses, and feet which they are most often grouped by in the endearing puzzles. I’m at the beginning level right now and I’m running into problems with the Tatooted Toads. I’m just going to have to keep it at it. Also something as minor as how do I move the lever to get the cart to go in at junction in Mirror Machine?As a teacher and as a former kid, I give the Zoombinis the highest recommendation possible. It is true to the 1980‘s form of the game with authentic music, graphics and gameplay.
I want to see MORE of the Zoombini games, please!! As it is, I will recommend it to every kid, parent and grandparent I come across. I think I’ll do that right now!
Mishmell17, I got an iPad to play this gameZoombinis was our family’s favorite game to play when I was a kid! My sister and I would argue over who got play on the computer first. When I heard they recreated the game into an app I was ECSTATIC!
I looked up the app and saw the pictures. Everything is almost identical to the PC version. I begged my husband for an iPad for Christmas just to play this game and it has not disappointed. The nostalgia is overwhelming lol. It took me back to 8 year old me. I immediately started quoting the pizza trolls and the narrator; I was even shocked I remembered it all. I love that they used the same voices for the characters.
I really REALLY hope that they recreate more of the Zoombini games!! This game is worth buying an iPad to play!The only thing I did not like is the much much lower number of Zoombinis to get to Zoombiniville. The app has 400 while I remember the computer game having over 1000.

Submitted on 7/2/2017 Review title of MichelleNo Save OptionI was excited as soon as I found out they were making this game. I used to play this all the time when I was a child. However, when I found out that I couldn't save any progress, my excitement quickly diminished.
I think that the fact THE USER SPENDS MONEY ON A GAME THAT DOESN'T WORK is quite irritating. I will say that there are good qualities of the game.
The usability of the game is great, the exception being the save option. I still play it with my niece and nephew. But as I look at the comments, this has been an issue for a long time.
If it isn't fixed pretty soon, I will make sure anybody who has eyes for this game will know that one of the most important parts of the game has not been included. Submitted on 4/14/2017 Review title of michaelUNABLE to saveDo not buy this game unless you are ok with it not holding a saved game. I loved this game has a kid and bought it to share with my children. Mostly not a bad choice. They love it too. But I'm missing all my progress from the last time I played and I want what I paid for.
Please Fix the lost saved games. Hotel level is fixed(Thank you). But if I close the game all my data is gone and I have too start a new game.
I moved the rating down to 2/5 because with out the game's save data I can't bet the game unless I leave it running 24/7. Please fix soon.
Thanks again. Submitted on 7/28/2017 Review title of AlyssaGlitchesI want to play the game through so bad, but I'm running into glitches at the Hotel and the Hexagons, so I'm not able to play either path through. Please fix soon!7/28/17 Update: Those glitches were fixed!
However you can't save your progress which is a huge bummer. Also there's a glitch where you run through the Hotel path and can't move forward from the campsite into the final leg of the journey. This is solved if you just take a group through the other path, but it's still a bit annoying. Moving my star rating down to 1 star until the save option is corrected. The whole point of this game is to move up levels and build your city.
Please correct the save feature! Submitted on 4/20/2017 Review title of KatiePlease fix!This is my childhood! I was so excited, as well, triggered when I saw Zoombinis on my windows store app! I was disappointed to see that it would freeze over and over and over. Plus, it doesn't even save your progress/game, so if my game froze and have no choice but to close it.
Then I will end up losing my entire game and have to do it all over again.PLEASE FIX, and when it is fixed, I will come back, change my rate and leave a good comment!
