Level up your math skills with Treequation, a minimalist and innovative puzzle game featuring unlimited math puzzles represented as equation trees, and earn the prestigious Grandmaster title! Play anywhere, anytime: this game has no ads and doesn't require Internet. 45 full levels included in the free version. Like expression trees, equation trees represent operands as leaves and arithmetic operators as internal nodes. Your goal is to balance the tree by rearranging the movable nodes in a way that makes the equation true. Equation trees help you visualize the order of the operations as they trickle down from top to bottom, and they also provide an easy and intuitive way to rearrange the equation and gradually find your way to a solution. The full version features unlimited levels that provide an endless supply of mathematical brain teasers at different difficulty levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Extreme. Each puzzle has a general difficulty level from Easy to Extreme based on the topology of the tree. The actual complexity of the corresponding equation depends on the specific set of nodes in the tree and the hints used, and is measured in stars from 1 to 6. The general difficulty levels correspond to the following complexities: Easy -> 1 star, Medium -> 1-2 stars, Hard -> 3-5 stars, Extreme -> 5-6 stars. Solving a puzzle earns you one of 6 titles based on the number of stars awarded for that puzzle, ranging from Beginner for 1-star puzzles to Grandmaster for 6-star puzzles. Will you earn the coveted Grandmaster title and achieve the highest score? Treequation can be played completely offline, with no ads or microtransactions. There is only one in-app purchase (IAP) to unlock the full game with unlimited puzzles. Even without the premium content, the free game includes 45 full puzzles with a tutorial and the first two difficulties: Easy and Medium. With its unlimited math puzzles and endless challenges, Treequation can provide hours and hours of entertainment and relaxing brain training!

About

Space Bound Balloon

Read full description

In Space Bound Balloon, players embark on an exciting journey through the outer limits of outer space as they control a gravity-defying hot air balloon. The premise of the game is simple yet addictive: players must guide the balloon through a series of increasingly difficult challenges as it ascends from Earth to the depths of space. The game begins on the surface of Earth, with the hot air balloon ready to take off. Players control the balloon by tapping the screen to make it ascend, avoiding obstacles such as buildings, trees, and airplanes. As the balloon rises, the landscape gradually changes, transitioning from cities and fields to the upper atmosphere, where the stars begin to shine in the background. Once the balloon enters outer space, the challenge significantly increases. Now, players must dodge asteroids, satellites, and other space objects while grappling with the lack of gravity. Balloon control becomes more delicate, as even the slightest touch can send it in an unexpected direction. Throughout the game, players can collect power-ups and bonuses that will aid them on their journey. These may include extra boosters to speed up the balloon, protective shields that temporarily make it invulnerable to obstacles, and control upgrades that make navigating through space easier. In addition to physical obstacles, players must also keep an eye on the balloon's fuel. The balloon consumes fuel constantly as it ascends, and players must collect fuel tanks scattered along the way to keep it airborne. If the fuel runs out, the balloon will fall back to Earth, and the game will end. As players progress through the game, they will face increasingly difficult challenges, including faster and more challenging obstacles to dodge, as well as extreme weather conditions that will affect the balloon's flight. Only the most skilled and persistent players will be able to reach the highest heights of space and successfully complete the journey. Space Bound Balloon is an exciting and challenging game that combines the thrill of space exploration with the accessible and addictive gameplay of casual games. With its stunning graphics, intuitive controls, and exciting challenges, it's a game that will captivate players of all ages and abilities. Are you ready to embark on this journey into the unknown? Get ready to soar with Space Bound Balloon!
