About Back 2 Basic
Learning Doesn't Need to Be Loud. Introducing Back 2 Basic, an early education game designed with a simple truth: learning happens in a calm, focused environment. Genuine education doesn't require flashy distractions or constant over-stimulation. Instead, I've designed a low-stimulus and special needs friendly experience that puts learning first. Back 2 Basic offers a refreshing alternative, putting the focus squarely on learning for Pre-K to 1st graders, removing the distracting clutter to provide a thoughtfully designed tool to aid parents and teachers. Key Features -Foundational Curriculum: Lessons cover early math (addition, subtraction, counting, quantity, currency), telling time, basic shapes, color recognition and mixing, alongside sequencing, multi-step instructions, memory, and letter/number/sight word recognition. -Purposefully Low-Stimulus Design: Crafted with softened colors, gentle animations, and minimal sound cues to create a calm and focused learning environment, particularly beneficial for neurodivergent children and those prone to over-stimulation. -Unparalleled Parental Customization: Empowering tools let you tailor every aspect of the learning journey, including adding personalized spelling lists and recording your own voice instructions for a truly bespoke experience. -Completely Ad-Free & Microtransaction-Free: No hidden costs, in-app purchases, or nasty monetization strategies. -Actionable Insights: Digestible player statistics offer parents and educators a genuine understanding of a child's learning patterns, strengths, and areas for growth, supporting informed educational decisions. -Thoughtful Behavioral Support: Incorporates subtle design mechanics aimed at reducing potential self-stimulatory behaviors, fostering a more productive learning experience. -Direct Developer Collaboration: An open channel for community feedback, inviting suggestions for new lessons or features, and ensuring the game evolves directly with the needs of the community. Lessons/Activities: -Number Shuffle -Spelling Bee -Art Studio -Sum 101 -Time Teller -Pocket Change -Flash Cards (numbers, letters, and sight words) -Retro Etch -Tic Tac Toe -Tool Box Ready to experience a different kind of early learning game?
