Factor Slicer: Times Tables

Numbers fly up over a night city. Your blade has a number. Swipe through the ones it goes into and leave the rest.

If your blade is a 3, slice 24 and it splits into a 3 and an 8, with 3 × 8 = 24 right there on the screen. Slice 25 and your blade bounces off with a CLANK. That costs a heart. When the run ends, the game tells you why: "25 is 5 × 5, so the 3 bounced off."

There's nothing to type. Every number on the screen is a yes or no times-table question, and you answer it with a swipe. Our kids played it because they liked it, not because anyone told them to practise.

WHAT'S IN IT
• Normal mode: three hearts, a new blade every wave, bigger numbers, and it gets fast.
• Easy mode: three minutes on the clock and you can't lose. Small numbers, and every Easy run adds to an all-time score. Our 8-year-old asked for this one.
• Two gold coins fly up once or twice a game. Slice them and your blade becomes both numbers multiplied for 10 seconds, and every cut counts double.
• A top 10 high-score board for Normal and Easy, with three letters for your name.
• Five looks to pick from, starting with a 90s Saturday cartoon. The hero is based on our son, drawn as a hoodie ninja.

FOR PARENTS
• No account and nothing to sign into.
• Nothing to buy.
• Plays offline.
• Never an ad in the middle of a run. Between runs, now and then, it shows a card for one of our other games. You can close it after 3 seconds, and opening the store from it asks a grown-up question first.
• Scores stay on the device.
