About

Mathrun Crowd Game

Features
Read full description

Mathrun is the runner where your brain is the real weapon. Lead your stick soldiers through math gates: multiply, add, divide... choose wrong, and your mighty army becomes a lonely jog. Is ×2^4 better than ×12? Do the math before the math does you. Grow a handful of runners into an unstoppable horde, crush the enemy squads blocking the road, and beat the boss at the end of every level. And watch out for the spinning silver blades — they don't care how good your math is. From simple sums to percentages and powers, every level sharpens a new skill. Easy to play, sneaky-hard to master. One wrong gate ends the run. One right one makes you unstoppable. How far can you go?
