Blocksum	Infotech	2005	[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows 2000 or XP * 700 MHz Celeron CPU * 128 MB RAM * 16 MB VRAM * 40 MB HD space*Despite what [i]Blocksum[/i] looks like, it has very little in common with games like Tetris. Instead of new blocks falling down from the top, the blocks gradually rise upwards from the bottom with varying numbers on them. The goal is to combine the numeric blocks with others near them and form chains of blocks with the same number and at [i]least[/i] as many blocks as the number states. The only blocks that don't get destroyed this way are blocks numbered as 1 and the special spheroid which occasionally appears which can be used to destroy all blocks with the number you combine them with. So, for example, number 4 would require at least 4 blocks of size 4 chained for them to be destroyed, number 5 would require at least five blocks with the size of 5, and so on. However, there's a small delay between destroying the chained blocks, so you can chain even more for that same chain to be destroyed for more points, the blocks cease rising during this wait time, so combining even more is beneficial as it gives you some more time to see how to combine the others. The game ends when the blocks reach the top and you fail to release the "pressure". Combinging works simply by selecting a block and combining it with any adjacent block in the four primary directios, the resulting block has the size and shape of the two former ones and the number of both summed up. However, you can only combine, not split, so combining too many creates large numbers that are difficult to chain because you need at least the equal number of blocks in the chain as the number states, the largest chains likely filling most of the screen. The game effectively challenges your ability to take into account all the numbers in the playfield and combining them in a manner that keeps the game going, as any failure to do so may create dead ends in the combinations, or high-rises with mixed blocks that can't be cleaned out easily. The game speed doesn't increase with levels (not that I noticed it even if it did), but the game starts giving out precombined blocks with ever increasing sizes and in larger quantities, so combinations of smaller numbers becomes impossible.*Latest version: 1.0.8 (as of 2007-01-08)

Everyday Genius: SquareLogic	MumboJumbo (TrueThought)	2009	Fill in numbers to come up with the stated result from said equation. No number can appear twice on same row or column.

Air Forte	Blendo Games	2010	A short edutainment game about lexicon, mutiplies and countries. Pros: -Easy to understand. -Challenging but without hard brashing losses. -Co-op multiplayer- Cons: -Epilogue: kind of weird in a bad way. -Achievements seem to be broken. 5 of 10***Air Forte is a high-altitude game of math, vocabulary, and geography. Compete with friends or fly solo in the various arenas. Good luck, pilot! [Steam Store]
Floating Point	Suspicious Developments	2014	Floating Point is a free, peaceful game about using a grappling hook to swing yourself gracefully through randomly generated spaces. In the air, you're fighting gravity. When you splash down beneath the water, you're fighting your own buoyancy to swing yourself further into the depths. The only objective is to collect points, and the only thing that increases your points is swinging swiftly, smoothly and elegantly without hitting anything. As you pick up momentum, you start to glow, the bars you're collecting rise up, the music kicks in, and your trajectory burns a bright red line in the air, drawing huge, beautiful mathematical curves of your arcing flight. Also the name is a pun, so that's cool.
Energy Balance	Sometimes You	2015	Energy Balance is a number puzzle. You have to swap power units in such a way that their sums form correct chains both vertically and horizontally. The game is easy to learn, but very hard to master. So, are you ready to peep under the hood of an alien spaceship?
