Challenge yourself at generated levels that get harder and harder. The goal is simple: Connect the path from the origin to all goals, but the numbers need to add up! Every level has exactly one start position. You have one or many goal positions which exact value you need to reach. You can guide a path from the start to each goal. The path can split. Use numbers or modifiers to reach the goals value. Mathematic operations are always done in sequence. The game includes a rudimentary online rank which simply tells you which global rank you have based on your highest completed level. No accounts needed, no advertisements or in-game purchases. The game is completely free. Enjoy!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Math Path Builder at none against Number Sum's shown. Math Path Builder also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Number Sum's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
