Looking forward to your future games then :)

Please please say you'll make one for statistics too. I'd totally buy even though I'm not your target audience. :D

What's your inspiration for the game btw? Also, how did you design it? :D Any advice for people who want to make similar games? :)

Just curious, what's with the rule? Also, do they know how to code already?

That would be awesome. I like CodeCombat but it's still direct coding. It'd be nice to learn variables, control flow structures etc but visually. The same way that DragonBox doesn't make it explicit that you're actually learning algebra.

Do they still play it or have they outgrown it now?

Apparently it became so popular in Norway that it actually beat Angry Birds there. Granted, that was in 2012
