Simple but challenging arcade game combined with a bit of math

A novel idea, in Mighty Math, using a numeric counter as the vehicle, you pick up blocks of arithmetic operations of plus or minus a value from 1 to 9.

You lose if you pick up an operation that takes you outside the range of 0-9, but you have to pick up a number of blocks to survive a wave.

Gameplay intensifies

While it's initially rather easy (if you can do these simple operations in your head), it quickly becomes quite challenging as the number of blocks per wave increases and they start to change shape or rotate. This particularly makes it more difficult to distinguish between sixes and nines, and the latter kills if you're not set for it.

Who knew nines could be so dangerous.

Finally, later on the level itself transforms abruptly for a short time, which is disorienting and surprising when it happens for the first time.

There's three "bombs" to clear the field but you need to be careful to be able to pick enough blocks to finish the wave.

UI issues

I played using fullscreen. Here, in the menus the pointer does not quite hit the buttons correctly but seems displaced.

It looks like a mouse game, but this is just the menus. In-game, the cursor is operated by WASD/arrows (or gamepad if you prefer).

What's odd to me is that your score is hidden while playing, and only revealed at the end. Because of this, the scoring scheme was confusing. Finally, I found that it was explained in the separate highscore menu (you gain points for surviving, picking numbers, and the picked numbers themselves). Not a huge problem but I always prefer to know what my score constitutes of.

Cool short game

I tend to like games involving numbers and math so I enjoyed my time with Mighty Math, and I got a decent (read: enough for 100% achievements) highscore in the end, after about 70 minutes of playing.

There are no Steam Leaderboards to show it off though, just the regular screenshot functionality.

Except for the chill and surprisingly enjoyable music track, there's not much more to the game. I'd recommend getting it on sale for a quick snack of casual gaming.
