Matchy Matics is a fun, simple number puzzle game with an educational twist. The idea is to clear the numbered blocks by finding number combinations (add, subtract, multiply and divide) that equal the red target block, and in doing so earn a medal. Wheres the rub? Is there a rub? Of course - you are free to find the target with any valid combination for that level. Choice can introduce some variation, watch out for those unexpected numbers, the so-called black swans!
The educational twist is while you solve the puzzle youre practicing some mental arithmetic, cool eh?
There are 35 randomly generated levels that can be re-played to improve your best medal. Each time the combinations and numbers will be different. If you dont like a particular level restart for something better. On the level screen you can see your overall progress and best medal to date.
The philosophy behind the game was to create something both thought provoking and forgiving, theres no time limit and there are tools to help : the tap-calculator, help and shuffle buttons. The blocks are colour coded. Theres also a self-play mode to show you what to do, or simply if you like the entertainment of watching something else (i.e. the app) complete the puzzle!
There is something here for everybody, something for those who love numbers and puzzles, something for those who want to brush-up, something for younger people who need to learn more about numbers and something for those who want to spend a few minutes exercising their mind.
Even if you feel adverse to numbers, why not give it a try, its a gentle start, you never know.
