Cubby's Numbers is the third game in the Cubby Truth series — a faith-friendly learning app for young children, brought to you by Straight Truth Press LLC. Join Cubby Truth, a brave little lion cub who loves God's Word, as he helps kids learn to count, recognize digits, match number words, and even add. Eight different game modes keep the learning fresh, with warm narration and gentle praise for every correct tap. EIGHT GAME MODES • Number Pop — Tap the matching number balloons. The gentlest mode. Perfect for first-time learners. • Number Hunt — Find the target number among distractors. Builds quick recognition. • Counting Order — Tap 0, 1, 2 all the way to 9 in order. The foundation of counting. • Count to 100 — Master each decade one level at a time. Ten levels of ten numbers each, with shuffled tiles so kids hunt for each digit instead of tapping in sequence. • Number Match — Match the written word ("THREE") with the matching numeral balloon (3). • How Many? — Count the stars on screen, tap the matching number. Random counts every round. • Add It Up — Simple addition with sums up to 9. Tap the falling balloon that matches the answer. • Two Players — Same screen, side-by-side play for siblings or friends.
