Very misleading

Does not “teach” multiplication or division… it just throws numbers at you that your supposed to know if they are divisible or not by the number shown.. not appropriate or helpful for 3rd graders struggling to learn multiplication.

Un jeu éducatif divertissant

Factor Samurai est un jeu similaire à fruit ninja, le but est de couper des nombres qui sont factorisables et de ne pas trancher les nombres premiers afin d’avoir le plus haut score possible; le jeu est simple, intuitif et technique, surtout en mode maître, qui est vraiment challengeant. Je trouve intéressant le fait que, contrairement à fruit ninja, on ait des chances, ce qui rend le jeu moins punitif, puisque des fois, sous la panique, il peut arriver de toucher un nombre premier accidentellement. Je trouve aussi intéressant que l’on ait à trancher des nombres plusieurs fois ( par exemple 12 ce divisera en 4 et en 3, il faudra retrancher le 4 afin d’arriver à tous les nombres premiers). On regrettera des bugs, tels que des crashs ou encore le fait que, en mode maître le bouton rejouer ramène au niveau intermédiaire. Je n’ai également toujours pas compris à quoi servais le sabre doré. FactorSamurai excelle tout de même dans son objectif d’être un jeu éducatif amusant (ce qui est plutôt rare dans le milieu)

Can't mute sound in game

Other than that addictive!

1 change for 5 stars

This app is amazing. So many apps are just flash cards with a theme but this is different. Kids also get familiar with recognizing prime numbers quickly and just how composite some numbers are.

I REALLY wish I could increase the size of the numbers to 100 and beyond though. I would pay to upgrade even!

Great way to have fun learning math

I experienced a couple glitches, but love the game otherwise.
