CageMath combines a Sudoku-style puzzle game with math symbols. Just like Sudoku, place numbers into the grid, where each number can only appear once in a column or a row. A CageMath grid is also sectioned into heavy-outlined "cages" that each have a smaller "cage-answer" and "cage-operator" in the corner. The numbers within that cage have to equal the cage-answer using the cage-operator. Some examples: √ 49 (What's the square root of 49?) 6- (Which two numbers can you subtract to give you 6?) 896x (Which 4 numbers can you multiply to result in 896?) CageMath is the only math-infused Sudoku game that tests your addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and square root skills! Features include: - UNLIMITED, UNIQUE games at various different grid sizes - Lifeline/hint button to reveal answers when you're stuck - Highlighter/note feature to support noting multiple numbers in one square - Game clock - Highscore tracker Note: Optimized for iPhone 5, 5s, 6s, 6 Plus, 6s Plus, iPad, iPad Retina, iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad Retina, iPad 2 and all newer devices.

Have you ever wanted to control time? In ChronoFusion, you manage six mystical elements (fire, water, earth, air, light, and shadow) that age and evolve as time flows around them. Think of it like tending a garden where each plant grows at its own pace. Your job is to match similar elements together before they age too much and disappear. The twist is that time doesn't flow the same everywhere. Some parts of your grid age faster than others, creating multiple time streams you need to juggle simultaneously. It's strategic puzzle solving where every move counts and planning ahead is everything. As you progress through 50 carefully designed levels, the game evolves with you. You start on a simple 4x4 grid learning the basics, but soon the challenge grows. The grid expands to give you more room to strategize, and new gameplay modes completely change how you approach each puzzle. Chaos mode makes elements randomly shift types. Instability means your fusions might fail. Cascade mode creates satisfying chain reactions, and there's even an Inversion mode where some elements age backwards. Each mechanic keeps the game fresh and forces you to rethink your strategy. Every level gives you clear objectives like reaching a target score or creating combo chains, with optional bonus goals for players seeking extra challenge and rewards. The game respects your time and intelligence. There are no energy systems forcing you to wait, no ads interrupting your concentration, and no pressure to spend money. You earn coins through achievements and smart play, which you can use to buy helpful power-ups like time crystals that freeze aging or element transmuters that change types across the board. Your progress saves automatically, so you can play for five minutes or an hour, picking up exactly where you left off. ChronoFusion features a clean dark mode interface that's easy on the eyes, with clearly distinguishable elements through beautiful icons and color coding. You can customize sound, music, and vibration settings to match your preferences. The game works offline, making it perfect for commutes or anywhere without internet. If you love puzzle games that reward strategic thinking over quick reflexes, games that gradually introduce new mechanics without overwhelming you, and experiences that feel genuinely rewarding when you succeed, ChronoFusion is designed for you.
