It's not clear from the screenshots how the arrows map to the fuzz movement. I'd expect it to be like Google's Turing machine doodle: http://www.google.com/doodles/alan-turings-100th-birthday But I'm not 5. Maybe kids will want to know what yellow does enough to fiddle around and find out. Thinking about it some more, I guess the clear background means go until you hit a wall, and the colours mean go until you hit this colour. Better iconography might help ( ->| instead of -> ). I'd expect kids will grasp the meaning of symbols really well, but may be easily frustrated if the symbols don't differ how they expect. |

The game is, in principle, just a REPL. Kids will learn quickly by erring and iterating on their mistakes. ;-).
