I actually made a mental math game for Android not long ago. The concept is different though - it's about choosing the operations to reach a target number. I wo

  I have this on my phone, my 5 and 9 year olds like it! I find the hard level pretty hard - it would be good IMO if you could change the mode to include negatives (maybe roots and squares [+other powers?], like here) and to expand the number range to. I seem to remember someone mentioning (probably on here) that they played a mental maths game where you had to give an operation on a number, you didn't say the answer but the next person had to add an operation, there was always a range (age adjusted) that the answer had to fit within: was that game the inspiration or was it just a novel idea for you? Like the game anyway, thanks.

    Thanks for the feedback! If the hard level is pretty hard, wouldn't adding more operations make it even harder? I kept the number range small because I felt it would be too hard to do mentally otherwise, but I'm definitely open to extending it. The idea was novel for me but I was quite certain it has been done before in one way or another.

      It would probably make the hard level even harder (assuming unique solutions then definitely) but for the lower levels it would provide a wide range of play styles and so more replayability - I'd probably be more inclined to play intermediate with wider ranges and/or other operations than to play hard in "simple" mode.
