This program has been written because much of the software on the
market does not lead to simple use by small children. Many of
these software packages make requirements of the child that are
beyond their abilities like requiring that a floppy be inserted a
into drive ‘A’ and booting the machine, or having to press the
‘ENTER’ key after every question. It is difficult enough for a
small child to relate to pressing the one key that is correct to
make the program run correctly let alone being able to follow
some kind of copy protection scheme.
This program is designed to display a randomly selected shape,
one to nine times on the screen. The child needs only to press
the correct number key that matches the number of shapes
displayed. Each set will allow three tries with the third and
last try assisting the child with number prompts. After ten sets
of randomly selected shapes and colors a total screen is
displayed. Since this program is aimed at very young children, an
older person should assist the child in this learning process. To
end the program simply press the ‘ESC’ key.

Another thing that really makes Counting Shapes enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Counting Shapes. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
