The Counting Kingdom Reviews

Brilliant educational game! Combines genuinely fun gameplay with reinforcement of basic math skills. Played it with my first grader, and he couldn't get enough of it. We enjoyed working together to figure out the gradually more difficult calculations, and he yelled "Boom!" every time we managed to clear the board. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to other parents of grade school kids, even at full price. Kudos to the developers.

So, up the top of your head, how much is 8 + 9 +17? Add big numbers for big damage, don't go for easy stuff like 2 +3 or 5+15, that'll lead your kindom to ruin! Relearn how to Math fast and have fun at the same time. Don't, but I mean don't play this with your kids or any kid. Like games with online, the rating goes to M really fast as you curse at them for being so stupid and slow. You might even smack them... hard. I know I did. I regret nothing.

A cute little game for the kindergarteners to play to learn about adding and subtracting. Makes them realize that there are numbers greater then twenty (20). Worked with both of my kids as they were growing up.

Good game for your children, but that's it, for other people there's absolutely no challenge even on highest difficulty. Takes about two hours to completely beat if you are good with maths and can count to 50.

I just finished playing The Counting Kingdom with my two second graders. At the core, it's a simple game that asks players to practice addition and subtraction, but wrapped in a fun, entertaining mechanic. My kids enjoyed everything about the game -- the animations, the different potions, and the sense of accomplishment when they made a particularly clever combination. I'd nudge them in the right direction every once in a whilte, and it was fun to see the flash of insight when they saw how to clear the entire board. I highly recommend this game to anyone with kids taking their first steps into mathematics. We had a great time playing it together.

I love this math game. Fun to play. Sometimes I even play it, myself, just to see how high a score I can get with a single "spell". My kids like it and I like it. I really really want them to come out with Level 2! and 3 too!

Very cute and I experienced no bugs. Sound effects and music are fitting and decent. Has several difficulty levels but these are mostly just different sizes of numbers (it never strays beyond adding, subtracting, and some extremely minor multiplication). Wholesome ending. Quite low stress. I do recommend this game for children, especially smaller children with an older child or adult helping them.

I downloaded this for my kids to practice their early math. They love it, I love it. It's cute, it's simple enough to understand and the way it introduces new concepts of the game is very well done. The graphics and gameplay are straightforward. It feels rewarding and we're having a lot of fun. I hope there are more games like this in the future to teach my little ones with!

I've only had this game for a short time, but I've already managed to rack up hours of gameplay. It's just so wonderful!! The game itself is a turn based, tower defense game involving math(addition & subtraction), and magic. The design is splendid; the art, the music, and gameplay are all kid friendly. For instance, some of the built-in mechanics will even gently guide younger children to the answers if they become stuck. There are a myriad of ways to clearing the monsters though. You can add spells together, and chain monsters together in various ways. You're also given potions with varying effects as you progress through the game, so there's a lot of creativity in how you beat each level. That creative freedom is what really gets me addicted. My favorite thing to do is take big risks, and let the monsters stack up a bit. Then unleash all the potions, and big spells in an attempt to get 'full clears'. : ) Story mode itself has numerous levels to progress through, and while you can revisit them at any time; there's also 'free play' mode with scaling difficulties. Oh, and each level is generated on the fly; so there's never any sequence to memorize. It's always going to be a new, and exciting challenge! A simply charming game for all ages; I definitely recommend it!

This game is incredibly fun! The simple premise of turn based tower defense type gameplay where numbered cards must be combined and discarded to match the number of a selected group of attacking monsters grows deeper as the game progresses. Potions to add or subtract numbers from a monster's power combined with spells to move them around, stop them, or get rid of them entirely will keep you on your toes. As the numbers get bigger on enemies and cards, it gets tougher to make full screen clearing matches but it feels amazing when you do and you'll score tons of points as well! There is also a free play mode where you can jack the difficulty way up that is quite mind bending as well. This game is highly recommended if you like numbers puzzles and/or have kids who need to practice good math skills. Can't wait to see what else ends up in the game!
