Maths Smashers Dr. Ludos | 23-06-2017

Math Smashers is an arcade game that will challenge both your dexterity and your mental calculation skills.

Each level is made of bubbles floating around. Each bubble holds a number. You play as a "Smasher", a soldier equipped with a grappling hook. Using this weapon, you’ll have to smash bubbles together: their numbers will then add up. Smash bubbles so their numbers match the goal number displayed on top of the screen to earn points!

But beware, if your soldier get hit by a bubble, he’ll explode!

Growing Ties Dr. Ludos | 14-12-2015

You run a tie shop. Patrons want to get custom ties.
Can you cut a tie at the right size for each one of your patrons?

Hold Right Arrow key to grow a tie.
Press Left Arrow key to cut it.
The tie will fall down, and hopefully reach a patron.
(Alternatively, you can use Up Arrow / Down Arrow or Z / X or D / F keys if you prefer)

Be careful to cut right-sized ties! A perfect-sized tie matches the height of the patron’s shirt.
You'll get 10 points for such a perfectly fitting tie, but less points if the tie is too long or too short. Of course, Patrons varies greatly in size and shape!

Cut several perfect ties in a row to get bonus "combo" points.

Attack of the Screen Scrollers Dr. Ludos | 07-12-2014
