## What is Inclusion?

Inclusion is all new! Rebuilt with all new mechanics and gameplay. Now a roguelike built out of numbers, the same panic-inducing math problem solver is wrapped in unique mechanics and add-ons, making every run different from the last.

A RUN THAT FIGHTS BACK
Ten rounds, rising difficulty, shrinking timers. Clear a round's score target to earn tokens and reach the shop. Spend your tokens wisely and reload for the next wave. Move quickly and leverage your add-ons because one expired clock ends the run.

EMBRACE THE POWERUP
Numerous powerups across multiple rarities, from common boosts to game-bending legendaries. Purchase run-based powerups via the shop in-between waves or spend your hard earned shards for a chance to earn premium powerups.

ALL THE BAGS
Every bag is different and each more challenging than the last! Fight your way through bigger numbers, dots instead of numbers, or numbers that may not stay in one place for long!

MODIFIED NUMBERS
Hack the board and preload your rung with these high-risk, high-reward, modifications that will either make things easier, or much, MUCH, harder!

KEEPING IT SIMPLE
Don't worry, the original mode is still here! Endless waves that increase in difficulty and decrease in time allowed. No powerups, no modified numbers, just stress and math— how far can you get?

### 5/5 — Abandoned App?

*2017-10-16*

Love this app.  Makes you think and keeps you alert.  Only problem is it hasn't been updated since 2014 and per Apple, the app is not going to work in iOS 11.  What a shame. Really wish there was some way to get in touch with the developer.

### 3/5 — Quick, fun math diversion with issues.

*2014-06-29*

Inclusion is a great, simple concept. Tap different numbers in a set to add up to or subtract down to the goal number before they all fade away and time runs out. Solid idea. Unfortunately, it has a couple of major issues. First, any alert pauses the game, except that there is no pause---just ending the game. This means that if you get a text while you're on a roll setting your high score, you get a message in the game not saying "PAUSED" but rather "Your game ended while you were away."  This makes no sense. Calendar alert? Instant death. Text? Instant death. This is a simple fix, and so is unacceptable. 
Secondly, there is an annoying bug that makes an "Achievement Unlocked!" Banner pop down after every screen cleared, even when no achievement has been unlocked. The first time I played through, I was like "MAN! Either I am ROCKING it, or he made the achievements way too many and too easy!" Now it's just annoying. 
With a fix of these two major issues, the game will improve quite a bit, but it still needs a local leaderboard or some other method of keeping the audience invested. Also, an explanation of the scoring would be very nice. I have no clue how points work.

### 4/5 — Fun! But...

*2014-06-27*

I'd like the option to turn the sound off...

### 5/5 — This Game Is Mathematical Madness

*2013-08-21*

Once you play, the game will be hard to put down. It contains addictive disappearing screen so you have to be agile and alert!

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2013-06-14*

So much fun! Very hard to put down.

### 5/5 — Worthwhile time killer.

*2013-05-30*

It's a simple addictive little math game. Add, subtract, sometimes both. All there is to it. And it flexes those arithmetic muscles you haven't been using for years. Get it.

### 4/5 — Needs highscore page

*2013-05-25*

Would be perfect if it had a highscore page

### 5/5 — I loved this game, and now it's ruined !

*2013-05-25*

I loved this game. I got it four days ago and have told 20 friends about it. Now there is an update, and for the life of me I can't even figure out how to play anymore?? 
I would write to the makers, but I don't know where to write? I hope they read this and restore the game the way it was. It was fun. It was brilliant. It was addicting! I will wait three more days and then I will never play it again.

### 4/5 — Great Game!

*2013-05-23*

Love this game and the new update has made it even better! The only complaint I have is that the new icon is pixelated on the iPhone 5. Go back to the old icon or update the new one because it's a bit of an eyesore! Other than that, would be a 5 star game!

### 5/5 — Awsome

*2013-05-21*

I only have an iPad and I play this game on my moms iPhone,so please create on for an iPad I would really love taht
