    Just updated it. Also, this build has an experimental color-grouping feature. Every number that is dividable by 5,6,8 and 9 gets their own color. Might give the gamer a bit more overview. I am not sure about the colors though. Didn't really have the time today to pick the right colors. What do you think about it?

    I got you with the ads I can see both sides for both types and it seems like you made the right call. It was just what I was experiencing is that the ad wouldn't even pop up where I could see what it was and it was already taking me to the App Store. This happened quite a few times during one play through. I guess I need to slow down and I won't happen to tap one on accident but I would just pay to remove them which I'm glad you included as IAP. And yeah I'm liking the improvements to the power ups and I find it much easier in this new version.

    Could you try the new version when you get a chance? I've increased the threshold for accidental ad-tapping. See if it helps.

    Great to hear you like it:)

    Much better didn't accidently tap on an ad once! Thanks Tally!

    Also the colors are awesome that's a big improvement, they are helpful and look cool. I think you picked out perfect colors too they are just like the colors you see in a pack of chalk. Yellow, white, red, green, purple they work nice together.

    Okey, so I got around to playing a bit more with the numbers, and I now really like it too. Did make some improvements to them, it now groups the colored numbers a lot better.

    This will be last build before my vacation, so I hope you all will update and have a look.


    btw, what to you guys think of the music?

    Edit: Should be available within an hour. Really hate this slow internet at home. Hoping the boss will upgrade it soon.(oh, wait, that's me!)

    Loving the colour update, will really help new players. Also the colours are looking 'chalk like'

    One last comment about the layout, it seems a bit bottom heavy now. I feel if the grid was moved up slightly it would feel a lot more open, although that's just personal preference and there is nothing really wrong with it now.

    As for the music, I have only played it on silent :O. I play most games that way unless sound is required, like driving or FPS for example :D

    Great:) Hopefully less people will be less intimidated by the whole math approach. Some people just don't like numbers, but from the feedback I get, those are the ones who love this game the most.

    As for the placement of the grid, that could of course be done. I tried to keep the layout as close to the bottom as possible, so that people would be able the reach all numbers easily, including kids. It'll go into consideration.

    Didn't realise that TestFlight is available only on iOS 8 (I have not updated my iOS).:eek:
    I guess I will have to wait for the new version to be available on Appstore.:p

    Unless Apple has changed anything, you should be able to add your pre-iOS8-device. Just log into www.testflightapp.com from your iPhone or iPad, and it should work.

    Ahh, my mistake. I thought I had to download the TestFlight app first from Appstore.:D

    Thanks for clearing up this matter! :)

    Very cool game to practice math skills. That kind of game that makes you thinking.
    Some of suggestions for the the future updates: you can also add another two math operations such as subtraction and division as a new game-mode level. Or the player can choose operation(s) by yourself.

    I also like the soundtrack in the game. That music is not annoying after playing hours.

    I have submitted my score as "TA-creeps"

    Great to hear some feedback. I added this feature just now in an internal test-build. I don't feel that it adds anything to the game really, it only makes it more confusing.

    I don't really see any equations where the user could choose which operation to use, unless there was possible to do combinations. However, 3x4+2=16 could work. I am just worried it will make it too complicated for beginners, and too easy for the more advanced players. There are already so many possible combinations, adding this would probably make it impossible to lose. Maybe for the tiny-board though.

    Yeah I agree with that I think adding more operations could make it much more complicated and unnecessary I think it's perfect as it is now.

    score submitted as TA Mess, and screengrab below.

    One thing I noticed on that screen is that the text for the bottom links doesn't show up fully. Maybe you could have two lines of text on top of each other so you can see the full text.
