Levels
Levels are unlocked sequentially
You automatically start the game on the first level when playing for the first time.
Finish one level to unlock the next one.
After finishing the first level, you can access the level selection screen.
There are 18 levels in this game.
You can replay any of the levels you’ve already unlocked.
Basic rules
Solve the equations
Equations must be solved in order from the top downwards.
You fill in blank numbers starting from the left edge of the top row, fill across to the right, then do the next row.
Pick up the right numbers and only the numbers you need & pick them in the correct order.
All the extra numbers disappear when you’ve solved all the equations.
Escape the level before the timer runs out.
Only when you’ve solved all the equations the key to unlock the door appears.
Find the key and pick it up.
Enter the door to exit the level.
Survival and timing
You have 10 seconds to finish the level.
Jump or move to start the level timer (you can wait for moving enemies to be in optimal positions before you start moving & you can solve the math equations in your head before you move to know which route you must take).
You will automatically restart the level if you run out of time.
Each time you hit a spike, you die and start the level all over again.
You will also fail the level and start over if you either run out of time or pick up even one wrong number.
Enemies & obstacles
Early in the game you face only fixed position spikes.
As you advance through the game some spikes are on the back of animals which move and then appear stationary temporarily.
Red spikes in the roof fall downward when you stand near or under them.
On some levels you have to sprint across under them.
On some levels you have to move under them to activate them & then move backward.
Extra switches
Near the end of the game you get 2 extra switch types.
The blue switch allows you to resort the equation order to where the bottom row of the list is moved to the top and all others are moved down.
The clock allows you to set up a white time switch, which adds 5 seconds to your level play time when you hit it.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like mathematics or platformer games.
The game has no adult themed content.
