Level Design Notes:
Having raised 5 kids of my own I can appreciate the flashcard-like design of each of the activities. As such I agree that there's value in doing what is here, however there's so little of it that I question whether anyone would use it more than once. Each activity has a set number of flashcards which aren't random. Every time you go into the "ends with a letter" activity you're greeted with the same 12 cards.
Theme Score: 3
Theme Notes:
Well done tbh. Looks and sounds like a Mario letters training game. Doesn't play like one but it looks the part.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
Quite nice. 3 year olds would be delighted
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Fairly well done but the music doesn't sound quite like the originals. On the other hand the voice files sound incredible for the time. Its a shame this wasn't on a CD based system where there could've been 100x as many files.
Overall Score: 18
