So many responses from people who are not target audience. Here is one from me so you can compare.

I just played this with my daughter who is 4 year old. She have found the first 4 levels easy. She was having a little bit trouble with level 5 negation and conjunction but we had to take a break since we were running for a date.

She didn't have any problem with zero being on the right.

She didn't have any problem with linguistics compherension so far.

She was able to differentiate colors and animating cats from the rest and it was perfect.

She is familiar with digital buttons so she was able to press them but even with her tiny fingers sometimes pressing 4 instead of 5 etc. (We played on mobile)

I direct the game for her. (Start, go up levels when she was bored)

Overall thank you for this because she is going to have a gifted and talented "test" next week and this looked very similar to that and she was active and entertained choosing the answers so I can see this could be a good segway I to it.

Seconding this. My daughter spent half hour playing this and absolutely loved it. Got up to level 5 and was doing OK but that's where she started to make a few mistakes. I agree with all your points.
I'm not the target audience, but when doing the counting one I kept getting asked the same amount a few times in a row.

Did this happen with your children? Did they have an issue with that?

Personally I think that the same question shouldn't be asked multiple times consecutively. The most I had it happen was 4 times in a row but every other time except for twice times I had 2 in a row.

Nope, can't say I noticed that. We maybe had once or twice where the answer was the same as the last question, but in those cases the question was different.

The only weighting issue I really noticed was that once you got to level 5 and higher, the number of questions who had zero as an answer started to get disproportionately high. Not constant zeroes, but noticeably more than any other answers.
