Pros
I like how it is so simple you just pick 9 different pictures and it randomly selects one and the person playing has to find it.
Cons
What I said in my pros, that is litterally all it dose but great if you have a kid in like grade 2 and under.

Pros
It allows you to make 2D games with no coding, and 3D games with some coding. You are also provided with examples and allowed to sell any games that you make.
Cons
The first few games you make will be pretty crap, until you get used to the interface.
