In Alphaman, players will enjoy hours of endless, educational fun as they explore 11 different maps such as Classic, Garden, Fire, Alien Spaceship and more to find letters and earn rewards for correctly spelling words. Players can pick up various Alphapowers along the way in each maze to help gain super powers, teleport, multiply speed and more. Players will combat the evil enemies such as dragons, snakes, and sharks and advance to the next map.

Our Thoughts

I have a kindergartner and a fourth grader. Both are learning to spell new words now that they are back in school. This App has made learning spelling fun for them at home!  The words that they are spelling aren't always in line with what they're spelling at school but it's giving them a head start with other words. My kindergartner can spell things that he normally wouldn't because he's been playing this app quite a bit. 

What I liked the most is that not only is this fun for the kids, it's fun for adults too. While it has a PacMan-esq type feel it's more than just eating little dots and avoiding the enemies. It's learning and the kids don't even realize they're learning! The graphics are fabulous and it's just an all around fun App! 

I would highly recommend this App to those who want an educational experience for their children but want them to have fun while learning!
