OUR STORY:

The game began as a capstone project from students at the De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde (B-Team). The team had noticed that many elementary school kids are afraid of math, and tried to figure out how we can ease up the situation in our own small way. Perhaps creating a math RPG could be a fun experiment, we thought. The game was tested by kids ages 10 and below, and just before graduating, the team decided to push for publication. We were joined by Asia Pacific College interns for the music and quality assurance.

The bad: - It is painfully obvious that English is not the native language of the developers. "In" and "on" were misused a couple of times. In/on/at can be tricky for ESL'ers (some languages combine these words). This is a relatively easy, though tedious, fix. I doubt it would hurt the developing language skills of children, but it may be a bit confusing. - I'm forced to play a male character. I could input my name, but not choose my gender. This may have been something that was planned but never implemented. It may have been too much work to include. The ugly: -I don't...
