Swocle has 4 exciting modes: In Clock mode you will be working with an alarm clock, the time on the clock is 14:59. Using the numbers on the clock you will need to calculate 1 first (5-4=1), next you need to calculate 2 (5-4+1=2), then 3 (4-1=3), etc. During your quest to break the world record you will receive all sorts of help and tips. Later on in the game you will be able to select any time you desire. In Journey mode you will start with all numbers from 0-9. After any of the 10 levels you will need to drop one number, increasing the difficulty. Some functions, brackets and operators are only available at the higher levels. You can configure the range of the tasks you want to complete in the settings. You can also review your progress and drop a different number for a level or even restart a level. In Exercise mode you can complete a Quiz that you created yourself or was sent to you by a family member, friend, or teacher (you can even send confirmation once the task is completed). The exercises are completely customizable in the settings; you can define what number, function or operator would be allowed or even mandatory and set the range of tasks to complete. You can also control the access to Hints & Jokers. In Random mode you will be given a random task. You can configure the range of the tasks you want to complete and choose how many numbers you want to play with in the settings. Hints help you to solve the current task. The needed numbers, functions, brackets, and operators will light up. The helper at the bottom of the screen will also provide better suggestions. Once you have used a Hint you cannot earn any Stars or Jokers. Hints are always free! Using a Joker will give you the answer. Your number of Jokers is limited, but you can earn them by completing tasks without using Hints. Jokers are also available in the App store. Swocle is a game everyone can enjoy, no matter their math level, NEVER STOP LEARNING!
