theres just not enough content to be worth it honestly
A cozy and mild brain teaser of a math game. For a master student in mathematics like me, engineering students or just people with sharp minds, this math puzzle game won't be much of a obstacle for completing it. However, this game is for everyone since the gamer gets the opportunity to develop the logic skill.
For each tenth level, the gamer learns a new math operation to solve a specific problem for upcoming levels. A minor spoiler, the math operations are the four arithmetic fundamentals, adding digit left - or right wise, modulo, power and negativity sign. Once you learn the operations quickly which any person might able to solve each problem, the game actually is short. There are slightly more than hundred levels. The achievements aren't a problem to get since you only need to reach each tenth level.
The only complaints of this game is how the game handle the division operation. For example, if the quotient is 8/5, the exact result is 1.6, but the game truncate down the answer which is 1, where it really should be 2 if rounding a number really is allowed since the algorithm obviously only uses integers. But, once you understand that, it's a good thing to remember for solving the upcoming problems.
The gameplay isn't so much to mention except above, and there is none to add. The music suits the game well.
It's a good math game, actually. However, I wished the gamer could "learn" the "square root" operation to solve more math problems, where the rounding of the number is used based on the argument above. I give it a 7/10.

THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!!!
it's really ONLY for true genius people who know all the secret math rules nobody else knows! already after a few minutes i had to face the first true challenge. i started with the number 3 and had to reach number 2 in two steps with two possible opperations: +2 and /2. i just could not find the right way to solve this problem. eventually i spend months and months to try out all the COUNTLESS possible solutions and it turns out (3+2)/2=2 was the right one!!! AMAZING!!! truly AMAZING!!!!!
now i know everything i learned about math is probably wrong!!! 5/2 is not 2.5 NO!!!! it's 2. i also learned that 5/3=1 and other AMAZING things! a "TRUE GENIUS" calculator!!! i feel so stupid now!!!
Genius Calculator doesn't feel like a truly finished product, but is a fun casual puzzle game to pick up on sale. You're presented with 104 challenges with a start value, a target value to reach, and a few functions to make them match. It's up to you to determine which functions are necessary and in which order. There's no help guide, but familiarizing yourself with the functions isn't hard. Anyone can finish this game if they're patient enough. There is no message or indication that you've completed all challenges after finishing #104, but the "next" button ceases to work. The in-game audio mute doesn't work, but the music isn't distracting.
I had to ask for a refund for this product. Eveery other refund I've had from Steam has been for a game that wouldn't play on my OS. This was something else entirely.
The math on this thing had 10% of 69 as 9? Not on my maths work it wasn't!
If you're going to do a maths puzzle at least get the basics right. A waste of time.
This game has many flaws. GUI is very basic. Puzzles aren't well-thought, sometimes they can be solved with half moves and/or half operations given. Fun for its price, though.
This was a fun little puzzle game, though I doubt it will appeal to anyone that has difficulties with math.
The game could do a better job of explaining what some operators do, but it was fun figuring them out.
Word of warning: this is an integer calculator game. 5 / 3 = 1, not 1.667. The remainder is always omitted, i.e. always round down.
Worth every penny if you like math.
This is a tough one.
The game is obviously unfinished, the intro screen doesnt scale in window mode, menu items are broken, a lot of levels needed to be play tested and tweaked for being ludicrously easy, and the game seems to lose interest in offering any kind of challenge towards the end. So its kind of a mess. Even at its cheap price Id wait for a sale.
but as a proof of concept, and a way to burn off two or three hours, it does work, and for the sale price I paid I got enough out of it to not at all regret the purchase. Its not just basic maths, numbers get concatinated, individual digits get manipulated, and contrary to some of the reviews I thought it introduced the concepts quite well, giving you levels obviously designed to demonstrate the new functionality.
So, yeah, some really shoddy stuff going on here, but for 39 pence, and those high points where it really could make you go 'Aha!' it just about scrapes a recommend, even if only in the hope that the developer does more with the idea, or at least polishes this up.
Genius Calculator is a ittle fine game with 104 mathematical puzzles (with achivements for the first 100). Most of them are quite simple, a few quite frustrating.
There are no instructions, except for showing a simple example every time a new concept is introduced. Two concepts that may not be clear for all are: "/" and "%" (the first is actually a "%" lying down). Those are known from programming languages as "div" and "mod". "Div" (short for division) returns the integer part (the whole part) of the division, while "mod" (short for modulus) returns the remainder part of the division. Examples: 5 div 3 = 1 and 5 mod 3 = 2.
The game works and is fun if you like math. All graduates from primary school should be able to complete the game. The graphic is fine, the music is the same melody repeating infinitely and cannot be turned off. I lacked an overview of all the puzzles. It was there the first time, and then I could never find it again. Every time you start the game, you continue from where you left the last time.
The game takes a couple of hours to complete. Buy it at sale. I got it for 0,39€.
I rate it a 6/10 (it could be better, but works OK, and the puzzles are OK too)
Cool but short math puzzler
Simply put, Genius Calculator has you solve simple mathematical puzzles: to deduce how to get from a start value to a goal value with a given set of operations. As a math enthusiast I liked it quite a bit.
Note: Game uses complex and uncommon math operators, and some of them in unusual ways. None of them are explained but rather just shown in action, which can be off-putting.
Counter-intuitive (as compared to school) examples include:
- Integer division operator ÷ returns only the whole part of the division.
E.g. 9 ÷ 2 = 4, not 4.5.
[*]Remainder operator % returns the remainder of the division.
E.g. 9 % 2 = 1 because 9 / 2 = 4 + 1/2)
Maybe they should add some instructions so players wouldn't be so confused.
They even use some weirder (probably invented) operators. Which is cool, because they make the puzzles more varied and interesting.
100+ levels
The difficulty rating is all over the place, from utterly trivial to mindbogglingly difficult (just a couple of them though). Obviously that's just my biased opinion (full disclosure: I study physics).
Towards the end I was solving a puzzle in a few seconds and thinking it'd end really soon, then ran into a puzzle that took me 20 minutes of essentially guesswork before realizing the answer.
The questions sometimes have several solutions, sometimes only a carefully constructed single solution fits.
Some of the puzzles felt like they were just fillers, not much thought put into their design (and I'm not talking about the obvious tutorial puzzles), while others were rough diamonds in toughness. While the former outnumbered the latter, the challenging puzzles were good enough to keep me entertained.
Recommended for math puzzle enthusiasts!
About 90 minutes in I had all the achievements and 100 levels beaten. Your mileage may vary depending on your math and logic skills.
There were actually 104 levels. It's odd: The game abruptly ends just after introducing a new rule, like they suddenly run out of patience and just released the game. Honestly, they should have quit it at 100 and call it a day, since that would have looked more professional.
For a $1 game it's good enough, as long as you like math puzzles and understand how they use math operators in this game.

Game is called Genius Calculator yet 5 x 3 - 2 / 3 = 4 ....
