— What is Math Max —
A mental-math game that actually feels like a game
Most math practice feels like a worksheet with a coat of paint. Math Max is a real fighting game first — the kind you'd play anyway — and the punches just happen to be sums, products, and roots.
Every fighter has its own speed and style. Solve faster than your opponent and you land the hit; hesitate and you eat one. It's tense, it's quick, and it quietly makes you sharper every round.
