Count / Down

COUNT / DOWN is a user-paced math game about tracking colored tiles as they cross the line.

Green adds. Red subtracts. Yellow doubles. Grey contributes nothing. Additional tile types appear in harder modes, including blue tiles that add half their value.

Keep the running total in your head (or use a scratchpad), enter your answer when the round ends, and hold on as the speed and visual pressure increase.

Choose from three modes:

Short Run — 8 approachable rounds with fewer tile types.

Standard Run — 12 rounds with the full intended difficulty curve.

Extended Run — 20 difficult rounds featuring every tile type.

An information screen explains the basics, and new rules are also introduced during play.
