Calculator 2: The Game

Pros: This game is great. Seeing it at first I assumed it would be a kids math learning game and well so far it’s not the most difficult game and I’m sure kids would have a lot of fun learning math with it. I definitely would not describe it as a math learning tool it’s an engaging puzzle game with cute art and light humor. I’m not a big math guy and I certainly didn’t think I would want to spend time on my phone doing math but this game is just incredible and addicting and doesn’t feel like I’m really doing math at all. The UI is also super cute and everything is controlled with the buttons on the calculator. When I first saw the store button on the menu I thought it would be some micro transactions but turns out it’s a cute merch store with everything from plushies to t shirts to magnets. If your done playing through the story there are also daily challenges to try which are super fun, Cons: This game has an average amount of ads I’m perfectly fine with it and I get it’s an indie studio making a free (and really fun) game but if you can’t bear watching ads keep that in mind. Also this is small but the arrow on the calculator looks like this => which also looks like a greater than or equal to sign so that confused me at first but one I realized what it was I was fine.

After having finished the game, I figured I should leave a review of my experience with the app. Firstly, the art style/graphics is simple yet loveable. The character guiding you throughout the game is quite the adorable little thing. Next, the gameplay. It's challenging and I will admit, I got stuck in a few levels but it never made me feel frustrated nor made me feel like solving it is impossible. The Hint feature is easy enough to use and understand. Then there's the game dialogue. I'm a sucker for puns and Math. A combination of the two? My heart was won haha so I was pretty entertained the whole game. Lastly, the bugs. The bugs I encountered were the Hints not working right in a few of the higher levels and the "Win" flashing not going away even when after I transition into the next level so I have to close and relaunch the app which fixes it. Personally, I didn't mind them because they weren't too annoying and it didn't prevent me from playing and finishing the entire game. Besides, a bug telling you you're a Winner nonstop ain't all that bad haha So overall, I really enjoyed the game and have already recommended it to my best friend. Additionally, I'm a member in the Dev's Discord server so I know they're working hard in fixing the reported bugs so I have nothing to complain about. Thank you for this lovely little game. It improved my day. Good job y'all and all the best in your future endeavours!

Hey! I love the game. Any complaint I had about it in the early process was fixed in recent updates, so thank you! It is a really fun game that lets me love math outside of the classroom again. I have one recommendation. Maybe an undo button that will reset to your previous number and move count? I know there have been plenty of times when I hit the wrong button because my finger slipped and then I have to reset the entire level, then completely lost the process that had gotten me there. Not necessary, but I think it would really improve the gameplay and lower the annoyance levels that are faced when human error occurs. Haha
