Timez Attack

A game intended to educate children on multiplication tables, Timez Attack adopts a cartoon third-person 3D adventure game style, and it calls on students to guide their green dinosaurs through a fantasy world filled with danger. As you progress through the multiplication puzzles, you face increasing levels of difficulty. Everything in the game ranges from unlocking doors to boss battles, and behind all of it, your child or students will have to master multiplication.

Unlike some of the other educational games on the market, Timez Attack takes a different approach. You have more than just the bare bones math exercises, and in fact, you have a lot of gameplay to make it more fun. The charming cartoon characters play in a detailed and rich environment. You should understand, this will not be one of those AAA titles, but for teaching multiplication, Timez Attack gets the job done. It does show its age, but it presents itself in an appealing environment for young players where they can learn multiplication while still having a good time.

The gameplay itself looks simple, but the different math challenges will keep you progressing through the levels. Still, the math challenges have enough mechanical variety where they do not grow repetitive. The developers did create a soundtrack, and it keeps an energetic and cheerful vibe, but overall, it will not be remembered when you finish playing. Looking for an educational game where your students and children can learn multiplication through play? Timez Attack contains a strong core with some genuinely helpful content. This improves student performance.

As you play through the game, you will practice two through 12 multiplication facts. You can even turn it into a more family-oriented experience. You have two versions. You can start with the free version, and in many cases, this will serve its purpose of helping your kids learn multiplication. The developers of Timez Attack made math more fun than doing multiplication over and over. The excellent environment, graphics and monsters that you have to defeat serve as the gravy on top as you practice your multiplication facts.

As you progress, you will discover the concept of multiplication in a variety of ways so that you will understand how the process unfolds. A matching number of creatures appear, and the facts will see a representation too. It looks similar to dice-like dots on the door, and the multiplicands will appear on the monster's belly. Along with teaching multiplication, children will also discover the number keys on the keyboard so that they can use them more easily. With the paid version, you get all the perks of the free version, but you have two additional levels with graphics and more interactions. It feels more like a video game than a simply doing your math exercise.
