User Reviews for Symmetry Shuffle

My son loves it!

I bought this on the recommendation of an article I read on the best apps for kids. I had my doubts that it would interest my boys but they LOVE IT! It is such a challenge, they get addicted....they get competitive with it, like its the game or them! They can complete puzzles in minutes that takes me a half hour! very challenging, involves critical thinking, GREAT!

Great little App, a must have for puzzlers, noodlers and doodlers

As a graphic artist and game designer something new and refreshing is hard to come by, and yet here this game is. What is even rarer is a game I cant find a single flaw with and wish I had come up with myself. Try it you will not regret it. Now since I set the iPad down to write this my 5 year old has scooped in and is playing Symmetry Shuffle, I'm not sure I get back to it anytime soon, she likes it more than I do.

My New Favorite Puzzle Game (Oh, and it's good for MATH!)

First off, this game is fun! It's my new favorite puzzle game to play when I have a few minutes. The art is fun and colorful. The little features, like the way the clock moves around the outside of the game, really add to the whole gameplay experience. I love that I can race the clock, or set up a puzzle with different graphics and many different options to increase the difficulty. Symmetry and mathematics are linked: increasing our ability to recognize and think in symmetrical patterns help us think about geometry and algebra.

doesn’t have the educational aspect

While this app is neat in theory, from an educational perspective, it doesn’t provide much. The controls are a little hard to use and I didn’t like the timing aspect. (It can make a student feel like they didn’t succeed when actually finishing a game is success in itself). Additionally, there wasn’t really an education aspect. I would have liked it more if it discussed the types of translations a little more (they’re only on the side in very small type). They could even show the breakdown of the different types when they show the total moves (i.e. 21 moves, 7 were reflection symmetry, 5 were translation symmetry…). Overall, it’s a neat idea, but the educational aspect just isn’t there and it can be difficult to use.

Love this game!

My five year old and I absolutely love this game. The artwork is beautiful -- my daughter's favorites are the butterfly wings and flowers while I love the umbrellas and cows. The pop of color as we match a tile is a pleasure for the eyes. On a future update, please consider showing in the solve mode the minimum number of moves possible to solve each puzzle with an option to replay that puzzle (as some of the Thinkfun apps do).

Best Game Ever

I love this game and my students love this game!! I also have his other game SumsStacker and the kids love it too. I'm looking forward to other games!!

We love this app!

In addition to just being beautiful and well-designed, it is fun to play over and over. My wife and I are playing it competitively (against each other), and as we gradually get better, we've realized that we are really acquiring intuitive stuff about symmetry. This is really a gem. Thanks, Daren! Hope you port more of your doodle games to iPad.

Excellent teaching tool

I purchased this app to teach students about flips, slides, and turns in a much more engaging way. The fact that we all enjoy it at home is an added bonus. Can't wait to see what other apps you develop. Thanks!

great concept but…

The concept is there but the functionality is not. The controls are difficult to use. Each move you make you must hold down on a very small button and rotate. It would be better if instead of having to hold down and rotating it the player could just click the button and it would be sufficient. Also, if the buttons were larger.

Excellent math game

Fun, easy to learn and challenging to play, with a unique graphic design. As a fifth-grade teacher, I have been searching for high-quality games like this to share with my students and they are hard to find (the games, that is, not my students), so I am pleased to discover this one...hope the developer has more on the way!

Description

* 2010 Editor's Choice Award for Excellence in Design - Children'sTechnology Review * ---------------------------------- "This is an ideal elementary geometry enrichment activity that is fun enough to keep either kids or adults playing." - Children'sTechnology Review "It's my new favorite puzzle game to play when I have a few minutes." "Everyone with an iPad should get this game...beautifully designed and super delicious!" ---------------------------------- A Slide, Flip, and Turn Puzzle Symmetry Shuffle is a “Math Doodles” recreational math puzzle for the iPad that will sharpen your spatial reasoning and get your neurons sparking. It takes only minutes to learn and months to master, but beware, once you start playing you may never see things the same! The world of math is not limited to numbers only.

Spatial reasoning and geometry are important elements of mathematics. Mathematicians use symmetry and geometric modeling to analyze mathematical situations and solve problems. This mathematical puzzle allows users to explore line and rotational symmetry, while developing their spatial sense to create strategies to help them solve problems. THE PUZZLE: Target designs are arranged on the screen in random orientations. Use turns (rotations), flips (reflections), and slides (translations) to move and match a figure over the target images. A level is completed when all of the target designs have been matched There are two modes of play, solve and race. SOLVE MODE: Solve puzzles with the fewest moves, without the pressure of racing a count down timer. Choose from 12 different puzzle designs, 5 game board layouts, and 2 difficulty levels. RACE MODE: Race the clock and get as many points as you can before time runs out. Complete the puzzles, to earn bonus time, and to advance to harder levels. MATH GOALS: · Predict and describe the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes · Identify and describe line and rotational symmetry in two-dimensional shapes and designs. · Examine the congruence, similarity, and line or rotational symmetry of objects using transformations. · Problem Solving · Mathematical Reasoning · Math Enjoyment ----------------------------------------- www.mathdoodles.com Please take a look at these other Math Doodle apps: MATH DOODLES - iPad App ATTRIBUTES by Math Doodles - iPad App SUMS STACKER - iPhone/iPodTouch CONNECT SUMS - iPhone/iPodTouch Unknown Square - iPhone/iPodTouch
