  • Disappointing

    I was looking forward to exploring this app with my 4 year old son. Unfortunately, it is virtually impossible to control with the Leap controller. It spins out of control.

    Read the on-screen instructions and enjoy the ride! I hope for more content in the future (and maybe some more graphical features)

    Zoom is working only out, until there's nothing to see.
