Yes this isn't really a "Game" nor is it an actual "Simulation". But my 5 year old non verbal severely autistic son absolutely loves playing this game, it really calms him down and is the right amount of stimulation for him. Thumbs up to the developer, you have my positive review. Desperately trying to find more basic relaxing interactive 'simulations' like this.

Pretty boring. Honestly, hard to even call this a game. I mean, if you're budget demands you play free games, or you want a game for kids, maybe? But this was just not fun for me. 3/10

Not even sure what to say about this, it's barely a game, but it does get a recommend from me as it does function as intended, but don't waste your time, this is a proof of concept. Even in 2015 this would have been mediocre.

You'll get bored after a few minutes waiting for something different.
