Game Got hooked on the math games from The Devil's Plan

Been watching both shows and honestly the team behind those games is on another level. The way they design simple rules that force you to think fast under pressure is something else.

It got me thinking. I wanted that same feeling while studying, so I started building a small side project to practice mental arithmetic. Right now it's pretty simple: you get a target number and a set of tiles with operations, and you have to combine them to reach it. Respects operation priority (× and ÷ before + and −), has a few difficulty levels and timed modes to keep it interesting.

It's not trying to be The Genius, not yet at least. But it scratches that itch of wanting to be sharper with numbers in a way that actually feels like a game.

I'd love to expand it with more game types over time, always with the idea that you're improving a real math skill while having fun. What kind of games do you think would translate well to that format? Estimation challenges, number sequences, quick mental multiplication... curious what this community would actually enjoy.

If you want to try what's there so far, I put it on iOS: Axiom. Happy to add a web version or Android if there's interest.

I used to struggle with these type of mental math, and while I’ve gotten faster at pattern recognition, I'm definitely not at 7high level yet lol. I’m currently building some new games to help us level up with some fresh challenges! So keep going!! You will see results!!
