Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5

Not recommended unsupervised — gameplay and UI/read prompts assume reading and basic motor skills; mild slime 'explosions' may scare younger children.

ℹ️Ages 6-8

Playable with parental guidance — controls and resource management may be challenging at first, but content is largely non‑graphic and whimsical.

ℹ️Ages 9-12

Recommended — age‑appropriate, encourages planning and creativity without violent or sexual content; single‑player so low social risk. citeturn3view0turn0search6

ℹ️Ages 13-15

Recommended — suitable and enjoyable; older players may appreciate exploration and optimization mechanics.

ℹ️Ages 16-18
