The user takes on the role of a space explorer, and in order to move through space they must fill their rocket ship with the correct amount of fuel. Each level contains a problem, presented to the player through a goal amount of fuel they are trying to achieve. In addition to this problem, the player is supplied a collection of tanks which are already partially filled with fuel. The player is required to mix these partially filled tanks into the main fuel tank, with the goal being to fill the fuel tank to the goal amount. If the tank is filled too much or too little, the answer is incorrect. | ||
