6 Stars! Wait, Make it 10.

My husband: "Whats that sound coming from your iPad??" Me: "Oh, thats Taylor, a young astronaut whos stranded on a remote moon somewhere. Im the only one receiving his distress call. I need to check to see if hes ok!" Taylor is a unisex character, but I personally choose to think of it as male. Today is Day 6 of playing this game. I find myself now worrying about Taylors wellbeing when advising him on a task, then anxiously waiting to see how he did. Yes, this is a game in that it requires one to use memory, a bit of strategy, random risks, and it incorporates suspense and anticipation--all elements of a good game. I loved the review of the fellow who played this side by side with a friend. To those who are impatient with all the reading and dont enjoy the tedious nature of several replays as you rethink, all games arent for everyone. As a language arts teacher for intermediate students, I consider Taylors language and vernacular to be current and suitable for a young person about 20. The creator will need to adjust the lingo every other year or so to keep it fresh. I think I will use this app with my students as part of their reading-stimulating imagination exercises. The text is even well written and punctuated! Something I dont find in every app game. If you enjoy suspense and being patient like a cat...imagine yourself at mission control where you dont have continual communication with your guys out beyond Mars. This is excellent entertainment for older elementary-100 years as well as a possible creative resource for those who may not enjoy reading...yet.
