## What is Area Maze?

This is a brand new logical puzzle app  that has been created by Japanese puzzle designers in collaboration with specialist mathematics and science schools. 
It has been designed to increase your imagination and thinking abilities to the max!

This puzzle features a maze of calculations and the aim is to calculate the unknown area or length as shown by the question mark by using the other measurements which are provided.
As there are no decimals or fractions involved, the player only needs an elementary school level of mathematics to have a go; specifically, knowing how to determine the area of a rectangle (length × width = area).

Sounds simple enough, right? 
 Well, have a go at finding out the correct answer which the creators have hidden within each of the levels!
Even if you come across a level that looks difficult, by sharpening your thinking skills you will surely be able to solve it.
And there is nothing like that feeling of accomplishment when you finally solve that difficult puzzle!

In order to prevent puzzles from being solved just by looking at the diagram without performing any calculations, the scale of some of the puzzle diagrams has been adjusted to differ from the actual length or area.

Clear the number of levels shown to unlock more puzzles!

A new  puzzle level will be added each day if you meet the conditions.

### 2/5 — 痒いところに手が『届かない』アプリ

*2024-11-15, version 1.2*

問題自体はとても面白い。
少数や分数を使う邪道的問題は一切なく、頭の体操として丁度いい。

しかしあまりにもアプリ自体が杜撰。

1度問題を開いてから｢この問題にチャレンジしますか？｣と再度出てくるのも手間だし必要性を感じない。
補助線を引くと……？みたいな問題がある割には補助線を引く機能は無い。
答えを入力したあとの正誤判定の演出が一々冗長で、飛ばすことも出来ないためストレスでしかない。
正答後の解説も非常にわかりづらい。

と、ユーザーのプレイ体験を損なう要素が満載。
正直低評価は免れない出来です。

### 3/5 — ⭐️⭐️問題の6番の問題解説が間違ってます

*2023-10-06, version 1.2*

①の長さの解説文が間違ってます。

### 4/5 — 内容は面白い…が。

*2023-08-17, version 1.2*

問題のクオリティも高く、内容は非常に面白い。
しかしアプリとして操作の快適性に難がある。
内容が良かったので星5にしたかったが、-1した。
①冗長な点
・問題選択画面でレベルと問題番号を選んでいるのにわざわざ次の画面で「この問題にしますか？」と聞かれる。
・正誤判定時も電球がクルクル回ってから光るいう、特に嬉しくもない演出に時間がかかる
私はレベル1の1問目から順番にザーッと解いていたが、上記2点は非常に鬱陶しかった。
②回答入力時に1文字削除ボタンがない。
 まあそもそも回答内容が1,2桁の数字であることがほとんどなので大きな問題ではないかもしれないが、一度誤った数字をタップしてしまうと取り消せず入力自体をキャンセルしてやり直すしかない。
③音量の完全ミュートがない
 解いてる最中のBGMを消せる機能はあるのだが、問題選択や正誤判定などのSEが消せない。

### 3/5 — 問題が増えない？

*2023-08-17, version 1.2*

全問解いたけど、1日1問問題増えていかないのはなぜ…？

### 4/5 — もったいない

*2023-08-14, version 1.2*

アプリ自体の面白さは確かですが、音が消せないのが鬱陶しい
イヤホンしながらプレイすると邪魔でしかない

### 2/5 — iPadに対応していない

*2023-08-12, version 1.2*

問題の下辺の長さなどがメニューやボタンにかかってプレイが難しい。
iPadには対応していないのでiPhoneでやった方がいい。

### 5/5 — 無料なのに秀逸

*2023-01-15, version 1.2*

とても素晴らしいし、良い頭の体操になります。
しかも広告なく無料！評価が厳しいかたもいますが、こういった情報を無料で提供して頂けること自体にもっと感謝して欲しいなとおもいます。

### 3/5 — 星1の14番目がおかしい

*2022-12-24, version 1.2*

どう計算しても一片が3cmの部分でで面積が10cm2ってどういう計算しろと？

### 2/5 — いいけど

*2022-12-18, version 1.2*

問題をせんたくして、「これを解きますか？」というウィンドウはいらない。あと、レスポンス遅いのも、フラストレーションが溜まります。やっていて楽しくないっす！せっかく問題はいいのに…

### 2/5 — Wise woman

*2022-04-18, version 1.2*

It’s hard to play this as a woman. Every time I get one right, it says wise man. Doesn’t feel great.  It’s also hard as a teacher to be able to use this app with kids for the same reason. Please update the language to be more inclusive.
