A simple arithmetic puzzle with real depth. Pick one tile from each of four lanes — four numbers in total — then choose three operators (+ − × ÷) to build an equation (× and ÷ are calculated first). Hit exactly 10 and the tiles vanish, with new ones dropping in right away. It's game over if the stack reaches the red line. Clear tiles back-to-back to chain combos and push your score higher. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • NORMAL — no clock, but the pace quickens the longer you play • QUICK 60s — race against a 60-second timer for your best score • RELAX — a steady, unhurried pace for playing at your own speed WHO IT'S FOR • Anyone who wants a quick, satisfying way to kill time • Math and mental-arithmetic fans • People building a daily brain-training / IQ habit • Anyone who likes simple rules with real depth FEATURES • Combo scoring and an instant-drop button for when you're ready to move fast • Haptic feedback • Game Center world leaderboards for NORMAL and QUICK 60s • Share your high scores • Available in English, 日本語, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 한국어, Español, and हिन्दी A few seconds of thinking, one satisfying "10" — and somehow you've done a real brain workout.

ShutTheBomb!

ボードゲーム「シャットザボックス」に爆弾を仕掛けられるようにし、隣にいる相手との駆け引き要素を加えました。 数字のわからないお子様でも、危機一髪ゲームとして遊べます。 全て自動で計算してくれないアナログライクな部分も残っています。 それは子供も自分で計算しなくてはいけないので足し算、引き算の練習にもなります。
