===Project Description===

A Math blaster inspired game aimed at the 4th grade level (although preferably with varying difficulty levels), for the XO laptop. Math blaster is a game that combined conventional gameplay of several disciplines (platformer, shoot 'em up, etc) in very basic settings with math, to make an educational game that was actually fun to play, not just educational. I found, when playing Math Blaster when I was younger, that even if it only delivers 50%-75% of the educational value of a full 'educational game', the increased playability leads to greatly increased playtime which negates that drawback, as well as instilling a general ~~like~~ for math that lasted me several years.
