Math Mania: A simple game of simple math…

Version Reviewed: 1.0
Developer: Pumpkin Pulse
Price as of Review: $1.99
Current iTunes Rating: 2/5

Math Mania is a truncated version of apps like Brain Toot or Brain Age (Nintendo DS). It requires you to think on your feet to answer very simple math problems repetitively. This game is definitely geared towards children as the math problems are extremely easy and don’t go beyond your basic operations (+-/*). Math Mania doesn’t hold much potential for future updates and the two dollar price tag seems a little steep.

In Math Mania your goal is to score as many points by choosing whether the equation presented to you is true or false. Although the user interface is dull the game does not lag, glitch or even crash! Unfortunately the equation generation is quite dumb, as you can continuously press the correct button and score a significant amount of points, clearly the generation is random and not dynamic. The statistics feature is nice and gives a wide variety of information. To make it a little more interesting the game has quite a few setting from game time to the different category operations.

All in all, this is quick app for parents wanting to entertain children in an educational fashion, as well as a quick study helper for a 10 year old’s math test! If you’re a fan of apps like Brain Toot and fast thinking brain exercises, enjoy!

Final Ratings:

Gameplay: 7.5/10 – The gameplay is quite simple, not much time was put into it though, that is quite clear.

Enjoyment: 5/10 – It can be quite a drone to play…

Graphics: 5/10 – A blue themed user interface that looks like it was drawn on an ancient computer

Sound: 6/10 – Some interesting sound effects, not annoying at all!

Technology: 6/10 – More could be implemented, good job on stability however

Replay Value: 4/10 – If you are using this to study it will probably only be for a few times, otherwise – not very addictive.

Overall Rating: 5.6/10

Further Improvements: (Note to the developer!)

Harder mathematic equations
New gameplay aspect to keep the user coming back
Better user interface
