What is it and what do you do with it: fast-paced side-scrolling shooter aimed to improve early math skills.

Fly your ship through space while math skills (number recognition, addition/subtraction) will help you choose the correct path and avoid obstacles and collect coins and power-ups.

What we liked: the concept. Excellent visuals. Combines gameplay with math practice in a fun way. 3 difficulty modes. Many extras (power-ups, different spaceships to win etc). Detailed progress tracking and analytics. Sound backgrounds and sound effects.

What we didn't like: may be too fast/too challenging for kids with poor hand-eye coordination. May not offer enough variety and incentive for longer gameplay.
