How It Works

Three steps from tap to mastery

1

Pick a table

Open the Table Map and tap any unlocked times table — 1× through 12×. Once you've cleared all twelve, eight Frontier review levels open up.

2

Catch the answers

Equations fall from the top of a four-column grid. Tap the matching product before it hits the floor. Miss one? A rescue answer drops in to save it.

3

Earn stars & gold

Clear all 12 facts to win the round — bank gold as you go, earn up to three stars, and unlock the next table.

Two Ways to Play

Master the tables, then take on the Frontier — same arcade rush

Standard

Tables 1× to 12×

Sequential unlock. Clear table N to open table N+1. Per-table stars and progress save automatically.

  • 12 facts per round, three correct hits to master each one
  • Five hearts to start; earn one back every four facts mastered
  • 3★ for a flawless run, 2★ for ≤2 mistakes, 1★ otherwise
  • Adaptive fall speed — faster when you're on fire, slower when you stumble
  • Combo streaks fire off "ON FIRE!", "UNSTOPPABLE!", "LEGENDARY!" milestones
  • Stars and gold both persist between sessions
The Frontier

Eight Review Levels

Unlocks once all 12 tables are cleared. Eight quick levels that keep the whole toolkit sharp — unlocked one at a time, easy warm-up to grand finale.

  • Opens after you've mastered every table, 1× to 12×
  • Mixed tables, number bonds, +/−, squares, division, missing factors, two-step
  • Each level a short, finite round — clear it to unlock the next
  • Ordered easy to hard, so the tricky stuff never blocks the rest
  • Same arcade pacing — hazard cards, rescues, combo streaks
  • Keeps the tables fresh for the Year-4 MTC and beyond

The MTC Challenge

A built-in rehearsal for the Year-4 Multiplication Tables Check

⌨️

Type, Don't Tap

Twenty-five questions on a number keypad, just like the real check — no multiple-choice answers to guess between.

⏱️

Practice or Test

Warm up with no timer, then Take the Test under the real clock: six seconds a question, twenty-five in a row.

🎯

Weighted Like the Real Check

The 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 tables come up about three times as often — exactly where Year-4 pupils lose marks.

Meet the Hazards

Six space targets, six ways to break your concentration

Alien

Flicker

The × stays solid; the factors take turns vanishing. A working-memory test in real time.

Rogue Planet

Mirrored

The equation arrives flipped left-to-right. Read it backwards before the floor reads you.

UFO

Fade

The text fades all the way to invisible and back. Wait for the visible moment.

Asteroid

Wobble

The card rotates ±8° on a loop. Read through the spin.

Comet

Pong

The equation text bounces left↔right inside the card. Catch it mid-flight.

Meteor

Heartbeat

Card scales bigger while the text scales smaller. Antiphase breathing — focus through the chaos.

Clear a hazard card and the target flies off to your gold — plus bonus gold.

Game Elements

The systems that make every round feel alive

🛟

Dead Block Rescue

Miss an equation and it becomes a dead block — a cyan rescue answer falls later in the same column to save it.

❤️

Hearts & Restores

Start with five hearts. Master every fourth fact and a heart restores — milestone audio confirms it.

🔥

Combo Streaks

Five correct in a row triggers "ON FIRE!" — combos build up to "GODLIKE!" with a particle slam.

🏆

Target Trophy Flight

Clear a hazard card and the target zooms across the screen into your gold. Bonus gold and very satisfying.

First-Time Mastery

A toast pops the first time you crack a brand-new fact. Capped at three per round so it never spams.

🎵

Ambient Score

A slow A-minor synth pad loops under play. Thirteen named SFX — including a "diabolus in musica" tritone — react to every move.

Speeder Bonus

Rare orange ⚡ cards drop fast. Catch one before it's gone and it pays a big gold bonus — risky, but worth chasing.

Division Woven In

Once you've mastered a table, its review facts start flipping to division — 56 ÷ 7 — automatically, no toggle to find.

🔥

Daily Streak

Play any day and your streak climbs. A gentle flame on the menu that rewards coming back tomorrow.

Earn Gold, Unlock the Galaxy

Every right answer pays — then spend it on animated backgrounds

🪙

Coins for Every Hit

Every fact you master drops gold. Combo streaks, smashed hazards, and rare ⚡ speeder cards pay bonus gold on top.

🛒

The Theme Shop

Trade gold for ten animated cosmic backgrounds — from a calm starfield to a roaring black hole. Space Quest and Dark are free to start.

🚀

Worth Coming Back For

Cheap scenes unlock fast; the showpieces take real mastery. A reason to keep those tables sharp.
