### 4/5 — V gd, but could be better.

*2026-08-06, version 2.0*

The “Extreme” should be way harder. Most of the time the solution is  NxN+N+N+N or something else very repetitive. Ya got to mix it up! Make it, you know, EXTREEEEEEME!

### 5/5 — Best Math Game

It’s a little bit like math 24 but the higher levels are more challenging than math 24 and somehow more fun.

I love this game and find it very addictive. I know it doesn’t use the usual rules applied in Maths but the instructions make that quite clear. It is great fun and challenging. I think it really helps to keep my brain buzzing!

### 5/5 — Great for a bit of brain exercise
