I hate math. So do a lot of you out there as well. One of the most annoying subjects ever created (speaking personally here, no disrespect to physicists out there) has been made fun by tilebitstudio. The game is a simple multiplying game. No thrills here, just plain ol’ multiplying. It might seem droll, but adding a simple timer to the proceedings and you’ll want to best your previous score every time you step up to take the challenge. Given a thirty second timer, you’ll need to calculate the random multiplication problems as fast as you can to move on to the next problem. Do these enough correctly and you’ll amass a point total that will place you on the online leaderboards.

The game has two options of gameplay. A beginner that puts single digit numbers to multiply (4×3, 7×6, 9×7, etc.) or a more advance version that gives you double digit numbers to multiply (62×7, 21×9). It’s a simple set up, but it’s made taxing by the natural difficulty of quickly multiplying in your head. The game doesn’t penalize you for getting a wrong answer, and it wont move to the next problem until you figure out the current one. The presentation makes it easy to input the numbers and it has its own certain charm and style.

The leaderboards, too, will make you want to keep going. It will tell you your place in the world and how many people are actually above you, besting you, and those that are lagging behind you. Getting that one extra correct answer to give you a higher total is always worth the extra effort. Moving you closer to number is motivation enough to do so. The game comes in two flavors, ad supported and a $.99 version without the ads.

Give this little game a try. For those of us that would like to dust off our multiplication tables in our heads, or just give our brains a little challenge to fire up some neurons, MultiplyMe is a fun distraction worth taking some much needed math problems.
