Math Shooter Jet Heroes
Read full descriptionHide full description
Addition & subtraction stop feeling like homework. Math Shooter: Jet Heroes sneaks tons of addition & subtraction practice into a game kids actually want to play. The drill-style repetition is hidden inside the fun of flying a fighter jet: the more problems they solve, the stronger the jet gets — and the stronger it gets, the further they go. So kids choose to keep doing math. Why kids keep going: • It never feels like practice — they calculate to beat enemies and power up • Every correct answer makes an item appear — right answers literally become power • Answer streaks trigger combos with sounds & effects that keep them hyped • A little challenging on purpose — but good math makes stages easy, so they FEEL the growth Easy from the very first try: • A friendly tutorial teaches the controls and rules step by step • Every stage opens with a hint showing what to do — great for jump-in kids AND careful learners • A guide ring appears on the keypad so kids see exactly which number they're picking Parents stay in control: • Choose addition or subtraction, and set the digit range (1–2 digits) to match weak spots • Pick starting lives: 3, 5, 7, or 9 — never too hard, never too easy • Score history shows how much they've done — progress you can see • Anti-frustration by design: watch an ad to power up, or remove ads to get that help anytime — so kids don't quit. Skilled players can finish completely free, too. A real game, too: • Travel 5 worlds: jungle, ocean islands, snowy peaks, desert oasis, and a futuristic city skyline • Beat each stage's powerful boss with the strength you earned by solving math • 5 weapons: Laser, Missile, Double, 3-Way, and Pulse • Genuinely exciting as a shooter — learning and skill grow together How to Play: • Move your fighter jet with the on-screen joystick • Hold A to charge up a powerful shot • Press B to open a math problem — solve it and items appear! Shoot items to cycle through types, then collect the one you want • Defeat the boss at the end of every stage! Painful studying is outdated. This is the era of learning by having fun. Take off into a world where addition & subtraction become something kids love. Important: • Free to play / parental guidance recommended for under 13 due to non-tracking ads • Network connection required to play (offline after ads are removed) • Available in 23 languages with native numeral display (Arabic-Indic, Bengali, Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Malayalam, Odia, and more)

Drag your squad through the right gates, watch it grow, and blast your way through zombie hordes to a giant boss at the end of every bridge. HOW IT PLAYS • Drag left and right to pick gates: +, −, × and ÷ change the size of your squad. • Your soldiers shoot on their own. Break crates for gun upgrades and free caged soldiers. • Walls, saw blades, explosive barrels, trap gates and fast runners stand in your way. • Every level ends in a boss fight, and the boss never comes alone. 50 LEVELS + ENDLESS LEVELS 50 hand-built levels across 10 chapters. New threats arrive chapter by chapter, and every fifth level brings a bigger boss. In the last chapters, trap gates punish careless math. Beat level 50 and the bridge keeps going: endless levels that get harder little by little. GUNS, TANKS AND UPGRADES Pistol, rifle, shotgun and minigun, each with its own fire rate, damage, spread and sound. Tanks join the fight on the bridge. Spend your coins in the Armory to unlock and upgrade your guns. ONLINE ARENA Race a real rival on the same track, then your squads battle. No rival online? You face a bot. Climb the online top-50 board, pick your Arena name and change it any time. A tied race goes to a 10-second sudden death. PLAY ANYWHERE No sign-up needed. The campaign plays offline; the Arena needs an internet connection. The game is free with ads, including optional rewarded videos (revive your squad, double your coins, free coins in the Armory). Optional in-app purchases: Remove Ads, a Starter Pack and coin packs.
