AddRipple
Read full descriptionHide full description
AddRipple is a fast, strategy-based math game where every correct addition answer becomes a ripple source on the board. Solving the question is only the first step. Real scoring comes from where you place the value, how ripples spread, and how many chain bursts you trigger. Game Introduction AddRipple combines mental math with board strategy. Each turn gives you an addition question. Answer correctly to gain an energy value. Place that value on the board to create cross-shaped ripple waves. Waves raise nearby cell values and can trigger burst chains. How to Play Solve the question card (for example: 8 + 7). Enter the answer. Tap a board cell to place the ripple source. Ripple spreads outward in multiple distances with different strengths. Trigger bursts by pushing cell values over threshold. Chain more bursts in one turn to build combo and score. Scoring System Bursts are the core of scoring. When a cell reaches threshold, it bursts and grants points. Multiple bursts in one turn increase combo multiplier. Higher combo means significantly higher score. Smart placement beats random placement. Game Modes Tide Mode: Board pressure rises every round. If any cell overflows, game over. Steps Mode: Fixed rounds, maximize your final score. Why It’s Unique Not a traditional quiz app: correct answers become tactical resources. Not a simple puzzle clear: board planning, chain timing, and pressure control matter. Designed for short but intense sessions, with strong visual feedback and replay value.
