Math Land is an educational video game for children and adults. With it they will learn and obtain reinforcement for the main mathematical operations—addition, subtraction, multiplication, sorting from higher to lower, division, and negative numbers. It is not just a math app—it's a real educational adventure! GAME PLOT An evil pirate, Max, has stolen the sacred gems and has cursed the islands filling them with obstacles and traps. Help Ray, our pirate, find the gems and restore the natural order of things. Navigate your ship through the seas to get them, but remember: you will need a spyglass to discover new islands. Solve fun math games to get them: addition, subtraction, numbering, multiplication tables, and division. The islanders need you! EVERY ISLAND IS AN ADVENTURE Have fun with over 25 levels and negotiate all kinds of obstacles in order to get to the chest that holds the gem. It will be a real adventure—you'll have to deal with quicksand, bewitched parrots, volcanoes with lava, puzzle games, magic doors, funny carnivorous plants, etc. It will surprise you! EDUCATIONAL CONTENT For children aged 5-6: * Learning to add and subtract with very small numbers and amounts (1 to 10). * Sorting numbers from higher to lower (1 to 10). * Sorting numbers from lower to higher (1 to 10). * Reinforcing mental arithmetic with already learned additions and subtractions. For children aged 7-8: * Learning to add and subtract with larger numbers and amounts (1 to 20). * Getting started on learning multiplication tables (the learning of multiplication tables will be done gradually in order to track the children's progress). * Sorting numbers from higher to lower (1 to 50). * Sorting numbers from lower to higher (1 to 50). * Developing mental arithmetic with educational games based on addition, subtraction, and multiplication tables. For children aged 9+ and adults: * More complex additions and subtractions, teaching mental association of numbers with different arithmetic strategies (adding and subtracting). * Reinforcing the learning of all multiplication tables (multiplications). * Sorting numbers from higher to lower and vice versa, including negative numbers. * Learning mathematical operations with negative numbers. * Mental division. * Developing advanced mental arithmetic with additions, subtractions, multiplications, and divisions. WE ARE DIDACTOONS Our development studio, Didactoons, has extensive experience in developing educational apps and games that combine learning and fun. Proof of this is the success of our other three apps and their—at the moment—over three million downloads worldwide: * Dino Tim: An educational video game for learning shapes, numbers, and getting started on addition and subtraction. * Monster Numbers: A real educational adventure that blends pure arcade fun and learning mathematics.

Tap two or more touching tiles of the same colour and they clear. Tiles above fall into the gap, empty columns close up, and — the part that changes everything — nothing ever refills. Every clear is permanent. Take the biggest group on the board and you might orphan the tiles around it, and an orphaned tile is stuck there for the rest of the round. MatchMint isn't about tapping fast. It's about the order you clear in. THE BOARD DRAINS No falling blocks. No endless refill. No timer counting down at you. The board you start with is the board you have, and your job is to empty it. SEE THE COST BEFORE YOU COMMIT Press and hold any group. You'll see what it scores and, more usefully, how many tiles it would strand. The obvious move and the right move are often not the same one. WIN, THEN PUSH FOR PERFECT Clear down to the round's goal and the win is banked — it can't be taken away. Everything after that is for stars. Leave a handful for two stars. Sweep the board completely for three and a bonus booster. EVERY BOARD IS BEATABLE A solver plays each board before you ever see it, and the round's goal is set from what it managed. You're never handed something impossible — and never handed something free. As you progress, the margin between the solver's line and yours narrows until you have to play nearly perfectly. WHEN YOU GET STUCK Undo takes back your last move, stranded tiles and all. Shuffle rearranges everything still on the board. Colour Blast clears an entire colour wherever it's stranded. Run out of moves and you'll be offered a way back in rather than a dead end. A NEW BOARD EVERY DAY The daily challenge hands everyone the same tiles. Build a streak, compare your sweep on Game Center leaderboards, and chase the achievements. BUILT PROPERLY • Full dark mode • Dynamic Type — the whole interface scales with your text size • Shapes on tiles for colour blind players, as a normal setting rather than something buried • VoiceOver labels on every tile, including what a move would strand • No timers. No lives. No waiting to play. MatchMint includes optional coin packs for players who want more boosters. You never need them to finish a level — every board can be cleared on its own terms.
