Reception
Reception
Next Generation rated it two stars out of five, and stated that "It might be good for very young children who are just learning their numbers, but for anyone above the age of eight, the game is underwhelming."[6] A trio of reviewers for Computer Game Review gave the game an average of 73 out 100, summarizing it as terrific for younger players, particularly math students, but that it can boring quickly and that there are few goals other to beat ones own high score.[3] Computer Games Strategy Plus writer Steve Bauman echoed this last criticism, but noted "the graphics are sharp, the gameplay entertaining but not particularly deep and there’s plenty of challenge to be had."[2] Marilyn A. Gillen of Billboard asserted that the addition of more complex rules, spiraling grids, and hidden spatial elements made the game appropriate for all ages.[4] PC Magazine writer Shane Mooney similarly found the game a good choice for those that "really want to feel that cranial burn" due to the sheer number of challenges and rule variations.[7]
