Read full descriptionHide full description
This is a game app that uses multiplication tables. Balls with numbers written on them will fall, so enter the multiplication table formula that is the answer. If you get it right, you can erase the balls. If you get it wrong, three balls will fall as a penalty. When the balls pile up to the top of the screen, the game is over. Occasionally, glittering balls will fall. If you erase these balls, all the balls on the screen will disappear. This is useful when the balls pile up to the top. These balls will automatically disappear in 6 seconds. The number of multiplication tables you get right will be your score (10 points for each correct answer) If you erase them all at once with the glittering balls, it will also be counted as one correct answer.
