'Kidz Knockout Operations' is a fun way of learning math operations - addition and multiplication. The game will ask the player to choose from two operations - Addition or Multiplication. If nothing is chosen by the player, the game sets the default operation to 'Addition'. With Addition, the player has to hit the numbered balls to make a sum equivalent to the monster's number. As the game progresses from 'easy', 'medium', and 'hard' levels, the numbered balls increase. For the easy level, the balls are numbered from 1 - 9; the balls in the medium level are numbered in the range 10 - 15. The balls in the hard level are numbered in the range 15 - 20. In Multiplication, the player's goal is to hit the numbered balls to make a product equivalent to the monster's number. In both math operations, the player cannot hit the numbered ball, which is the same as the monster's number. Happy playing :-)
