Math Galactica takes on the story of a Space Ranger, together with their AI partner named Flad, receiving a mission stating that there are hidden treasures which may potentially be dangerous for space habitants. They also know that Space Pirates are eyeing on these treasures, and who knows what is inside those treasures! EXPLORE STARS AND CONSTELLATIONS By finishing missions in stars, you unlock stars that were previously locked, meaning access to more missions! MATHEMATICAL SUPERNOVA The world is full of numbers, and Math Galactica is no exception. Ride along with Space Ranger and Flad on a journey full of fun and exciting math problems. SCRATCHPAD Practicing math usually requires a lot of workings. Imagine one that doesn’t require paper, is easier to access and use, and has the tools you need at a touch of a finger.

MORE FEATURES • 8 different gameplays • Tons of animations, music, and sound effects • Different set of questions and choices on most gameplays • And much more... ABOUT MATH GALACTICA We formed Team Orion with only 1 simple goal in mind. We see an obvious problem where young children tend to dislike math due to a lot of complications. The best way to learn and practice math is through repetitions, and most of the time, that's the most hated part, which in turn, gives mathematics as a subject a bad reputation. So the mission is simple, how do we turn a once boring and hectic activity into something that's not only more relatable, but also very unique.
