My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves every Dr. Panda game, she can't get enough of them. So I am always excited when a new one is released and I can surprise her with more Dr. Panda.
This game is great, there aren't that many houses (only about 5) and they seem to repeat in the same order (not randomly like previous Dr. Panda games) but my daughter doesn't mind that at all, in fact I think she enjoys the repetitive game play and predictability, it allows her to get better and better at the games. She loves collecting the virtual stickers for her sticker collection (something that has been lacking in Dr. Panda games since the Hospital game). I love how the Dr. Panda games really allow my daughter to be creative and artistic while also honing her motor skills and getting her familiar with a touchscreen device.
Now for a few complaints. All of my complaints are of a technical/programming nature. My daughter is playing this game on an HP Touchpad running Android ICS. First, after certain mini-games Dr. Panda will hold his hand up for a high-five, except during certain mini-games he will flicker during his animation and be invisible while expecting a high-five. The game will not progress until you tap his hand, you have to tap where his hand should be and the game continues, however some children might not be able to figure out that they need to high-five a Dr. Panda that they can not see. Second issue is the broken door mini-game. When we first downloaded the game, the door fixing mini-game would bot show any of the rest of the house whenever the hammer hit the door, everything except for the door and the hammer would turn a dark navy blue for a second while the animation of the piece of door falling would play. However during our second time loading the game, and every time since, as soon as the hammer is about to hit the door the game crashes and closes. I have tried force stopping the app and even rebooting my device, but no matter what we can no longer play that mini-game, so now we have to simply skip the house with the broken door and leaky shower. The only thing I haven't tried is uninstalling and re-installing the app, but my daughter doesn't want to lose her collected stickers. So for the time being we'll have to skip fixing that house.
In short, I love the game and the Dr. Panda series as a whole, but I wish some of the technical problems in this game were resolved. I'm not sure if it is simply my device, or a result of poor programming, but perhaps an update/patch could be released to address these issues in the future.
