− | Math Quest is a Math Blaster inspired game (set in a fantasy environment rather then a space one) being developed for the Math4 Project. Like Math Blaster, Math Quest aims to be a game that combines conventional gameplay of several disciplines (platformer, shoot 'em up, etc) in very basic settings with math, to make an educational game that is actually fun to play, not just educational. 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 liking for math that lasted me several years. | + | Math Quest is a Math Blaster inspired game (set in a fantasy environment rather then a space one) being developed for the Math4 Project.
