My 9 year old persevered, and got through to the end. The game lost me at the 3rd stage, where the controls got changed, and the tutorial was poor. Overall it's a fun game to play, and we both enjoyed the first two stages.
As another reviewer said, this game really is 4 mini-games, and it's supposed to show the evolution of a creature from cellular stage in the ocean to a space faring race.
My 9 year old plays this game - and I played a little bit too.
