Ace Mathican NDS

Ace Mathican is an arcade and logic game, prepared by an independent studio Goodbye Galaxy Games, known from other productions available in DSiWare store (Flipper, Flush The Goldfish).

We play the teddy-bear coalition named Ace, who is still hungry. However, the best snacks are out of range, and in order to get to them we have to solve various tasks.

The world in which our guest lives is based on mathematics, which unfortunately the bowl has not mastered very well. The player's task is to reach the end of each hand, collect stars (they are not required to pass the level, but they give extra points) and feed the unsaturated pet. The game was divided into two parts. The first one is a simple platformer, where you have to reach a designated point, by jumping on platforms, running, etc. The first one is a simple platformer, where you have to get to a designated point, by jumping on the platforms, running, etc. Problems start when we come across an edge, cliff or other obstacle. At this point Ace Mathican becomes a kind of mathematics lesson. Sometimes you simply enter the correct number to solve a simple task (e.g. 2+2 = 4), otherwise you have to use the characters and digits displayed on the handheld screen to create an equation. Interestingly, there are no bad answers. The game world changes on an ongoing basis depending on our actions.

Ace Mathican is not very technologically advanced production. The title is characterized by a simple, two-dimensional graphic design from the eight-bit era. The screen is divided into small grilles to imitate a mathematics notebook.
