This link has beaten all of the games at a grade 8 level (the most difficult)

Since Elyse is reviewing each specific game, I'm just going to give a general review/ranking

• Bumble Numbers -- The second one was pretty hard. There are 3 rounds, only 3 lives, and the fireflys are pure evil, I'm sure
• Puzzler -- It was sometimes difficult to get the pieces onto the part of the puzzle you were thinking off, but I thought that this was a really novel game. We could almost do something like it for big O if we wanted!
• Mummy Hunt (1/2/3) -- I liked this game. I think the time limit was a little short, especially for my higher difficulty. The last one was really difficult because it gives you 3 wheels to spin instead of just the one. I think they could have removed answers that were already taken (I sometimes ran out of time with one problem left, which means I solved it, but I couldn't find the unused pieces fast enough). The game seemed to give easier questions the more often you died, which I think was a good thing for one of their really strongly time-based games.
• Ball Hogs -- I liked this game. Reaction time + Math.
• Hillbilly Pig Toss -- A goofy idea for a game. Does allow a little trial and error. Very amusing. Forces you to think about the effect height has on distance and distance has on height when tossing things
• Moon Rocks -- 3 levels. Fewer lives/more rocks each time. Probably teaches more about matching than math, but the hardest level does force you to consider a strategy about shooting the rocks
• Night Swimmers -- It was alright. Controlling the game was easy. The higher level provided some difficulty by getting the screen a little too full sometimes (it was difficult to avoid obstacles)
• Inkster -- Difficult to control the octopus. I found that the correct answer was always in the upper righthand corner. I think there were better games than this
• Revealer -- Typical word problems. I came across the same questions in both levels. You might not (you can end the game early if you guess the picture) but I think they could have come up with a couple more puzzles
• Math Basketball/Soccer -- Really the same game. I didn't like either of them. Gives you unlimited time to work out problems (and at the higher levels, you need it)
