The OP makes it sound much worse than it actually is. Also, it's typically played in middle school; kids of that age are definitely old enough to understand death and the difference between fantasy and reality.

Somehow I missed that OP was in third grade when they played.

Eh. That might be iffy, but...

Shit, I was playing games and watching action movies with my dad when I was six and seven. Kids are a lot more resilient than a lot of people give them credit for. And OP's issue is very unusual and has a lot more to do with them having anxiety then the content being inappropriate.

Resilient kids are a lot more resilient than people give them credit for. Overly sensitive/imaginative kids can be a lot more overly-sensitive and imaginative than people give them credit for.

I taught third grade for years, and I could list half a dozen former students who would have reacted exactly as OP did when their little spacefarers died. It's not unusual at all.

Math blasters was totally fine to play in elementary school. My dad bought it for me when I got my first B in math in 3rd grade... after a lecture, that is.

Like, I completely get anxiety in a game played during childhood. It was also played pretty consistently in elementary school, as the math isn't middle school advanced.
