Astro Noughts, the fast-paced math-in-space app that I wrote about recently, has gone live on the App store. To celebrate, developer Christopher Waite is offering a free download to one reader here.
Luckily, at an introductory price of .99, it's easy to try the game even if you're not a winner.
I was looking forward to getting the game myself when it was released, since it sounds like something my kids would love. The game is only for the iPad though, which we don't have here.
Minnesota homeschooling mother Nic first let me know about the app, saying that her husband had been following the blog about the game's development. She said, "He likes it because (1) its from a small start up (2) it looks like it has the potential to be both fun and educational."
Here's some more information:
Set in the depths of space, you'll face wave after wave of planets hurtling towards you.By calculating the correct mathematical expressions, you must collect as many planets as possible and avoid the space debris.
