-Pattern Recognition Engaging StoryFLO: Return of the Water Beetles is a delightful accompaniment to the video, FLO The Lyin' Fly, where FLO, has a problem telling the truth. When the famed music group, the Water Beetles, is kidnapped, FLO cries for help, but no one believes her because of her history of lying. In the game, she claims the group is returning for another concert and needs help to get ready. Will the concert really happen? ReviewsParent's Choice Foundation Review Children's Technology Review (April 2006) Just Adventure Review (March 21, 2006)
"In FLO: Return of the Water Beetles, the concepts of truthfulness, trust, forgiveness, and gratitude are explored. The game's activities are also conducive to the development of early critical thinking skills, with emphasis on pattern recognition, matching, sorting, sequencing and creative exploration, along with eye-hand coordination.On top of that, FLO: Return of the Water Beetles is just plain fun! Final Grade: A"
"Children's Technology Review EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD: Five engaging sorting and pattern activities are mixed with a values education theme, in this well-designed title for younger children. Like Buzby: Breakin' all the Rules (the sister title to this one) the activities are embedded in a story where the main characters encounter situations where they must think about their values. The five activities, which have no direct religious agenda, fit nicely into the storyline, which tells the story of a girl's frantic attempt to get the garden ready for the invasion of a hot British Rock band... the Water Beetles. There are other fun puns in the game, including a fast-paced Tetris-like pea sorting game, where the reward is a bowl full of "world peas." You can also create a pie by following the step by step directions of "Sarah Leech." As children play, the progress gets harder, which keeps things interesting. All in all, this is an excellent merging of quality, developmentally appropriate games with a playful theme. Teaches: truthfulness, forgiveness, critical thinking, memory, spatial reasoning, problem solving, classifying, patterns, creating music, rhythm, religion. Rating (1 to 5 stars) = 4.5 stars. "
"My 3 year old daughter loves the Hermie and Friends videos, and now she is enjoying playing with the characters on our computer. She especially likes Lucy's Cookie Maker because she can put the toppings on all by herself. I like that she was not at all frustrated, and now she understands the concept of how to use the mouse."
"I think the game is really cute and my 4 year old son especially enjoys shooting the seeds in the sky in Antonio's Seed Zapper. The "conversations with God" are right at his level. He liked the fact that Hermie and Wormie helped Flo, even though she had lied before."
"The Musical Garden is a delightful way for children to explore different parts and harmonies with familiar songs. They can change the combinations of instruments and the melodies as much as they like, with charming and new results each time!"
"My 4 year old son's favorite activity is Buzby's Meadow. He loves hunting for the flowers and wants to play it all the time. He plays the game at Grandma's house and she says the game is 'very well done!'"
"My 6 year old niece absolutely loves this game. She continues to play the FLO activities just to earn seeds so she can play in the musical garden. Her favorite lead instrument is the flower tuba."
"I like the fact that FLO: Return of the Water Beetles teaches my 5 year old son how to follow directions; for example it shows him how to make cookies and if he makes a mistake, the bugs correct him. It's amazing how he has taught himself how to get into all of the games without our help. He just loves the game and I think it's so cute! The characters are adorable!" Support
