MathoTron
Read full descriptionHide full description
You are given a mathematical puzzle with digits, operators and a set of target numbers. Your goal is to solve the puzzle by creating an arithmetic expression for each target. You can use any operator(s) you wish, however you must use all digits for each expression. Not every target has an answer for the given digits and available operators. There are many ways to solve most targets, so that’s where your creativity comes in. You can choose how many targets you want, and you can play against a timer for an even greater challenge. Game scoring is based on a complexity rating system for your answers/expressions, with bonuses (MathoTron Coins) awarded for various achievements. MathoTron Coins can also be purchased (in-app), and are used to unlock/enable additional features and functionality. Puzzles are available via puzzle packs. The first release includes a free puzzle pack (p0) consisting of 5 puzzles, plus a starter set of MathoTron coins. Additional puzzle packs are available via in-app purchase (Bonus puzzle packs have been included in subsequent releases). MathoTron is fun, rewarding and a great workout for your brain!
