The visual design has also improved, or at least it feels more cohesive than it did when I first installed the app. The transition from the blue-sky palette in the earlier stages to the deep space gradient as you advance is a genuinely elegant touch — it mirrors your skill growth in a way that feels earned rather than arbitrary. The rocket character and its customisation options add a personal dimension that I did not expect to value, but which I now find quietly motivating.
My reservations are few but worth noting. The timer pressure can feel punishing in the higher difficulty brackets; I have lost otherwise strong runs to a single mistimed tap, which is frustrating when the arithmetic itself was correct. Additionally, the mathematical equations at the bottom of the screen — the ones guiding which tiles to select — can be difficult to parse quickly when the grid resets at speed. A brief flash of clarity before the next round begins would go a long way. Overall, this is a well-constructed little puzzle game that rewards patience and improving skill, and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a mentally engaging time-killer.
