I voted yes, and this is why.
1.) It is a fun and engaging game.
2.) It gets my 10 yr old boy away from ****ing zombies, creepers, and evil sith lords
3.) I think the bunny is cute, although a bit evil at times (will explain below).
4.) It is different from any other TL game and I have no problem allowing my youngest child (10) to play it. No chance of him being harassed on walls and etc....
Now, this has been my experience since I downloaded the game. It is quite challenging at times, but also easy at others. My son loves the bunny one minute and in the next claims quite vehemently that the cute little pink bunny is EVIL and must be destroyed as soon as possible. That really makes me giggle, insanely. Although I hate to agree with my son, there are times I'd like to give the cute little pink bunny a slow and gruesome death as well. We both despised all of Level 4. But level 5 was shot through like it was a knife going through butter. Level 6 has my son not only hating the bunny, but wanting to destroy my iPad as well, he feels the poison bubbles are there just to annoy him. I fear for my iPads life, so refuse to allow him to play this game unless I'm at his side. I have this vision in my head of finding it in teeny tiny little pieces with him standing over it with a hammer in his hand and an evil grin on his face. NOT a pretty picture.
I'm not sure what the real age group TL is looking for here, but I think that most kids would really enjoy this game. I know others complained about the energy thing, and I actually disagree on that point. I think that some levels can be so frustrating that you NEED to be out of energy so that you have a chance to calm down before ruining your pretty little device. It is sort of like a time-out.
Well that and I fear for the little cute pink bunnies life.
With that being said though, I think the wait time for energy to replenish should be cut in half, as most kids don't have the patience, or really even the time, to wait that long. This game is great at teaching patience to kids, but they also have short attention spans and if they have to wait TOO long, they'll move on and not come back for a day or two, or at all. Not only that, but they may only be able to play at certain times, so having to wait a good deal of time for the energy to replenish may mean they only get to play for a short period of time. I know many of the kids in my area that would LOVE a game like this are restricted to certain times to play games, plus with it being summer many are at day camps or in the pools.............When they are allowed that 1 or 2 hour game time, it gets used up pretty quickly if 30 minutes of it is waiting to play again.
Anyways, that is my .02 worth and I do hope that TL will offer this game to more than just iOS. Half of the kids I know have iPods, but the other half have Android Kindles or Tablets, so it would be great to see it fully rolled out to all platforms.
