The Mathemagician

A flash game I am developing for Android using as3 to help teach math. In an attempt to introduce math questions in a more appealing manner, I've taken standard turn based RPG combat and made it real time. The core mechanic involves answering math questions in real time in order to attack your enemies. Harder questions come with bigger rewards to help level up your character. The player is encouraged through the combat mechanic to answer the questions as fast as possible, and is instantly rewarded for answering questions correctly and improving their overall math skills. Questions become more difficult over time as the player explores new areas.  My hope is to find a way to encourage players to answer a large volume of questions in a rewarding manner, without boring them.

Please feel free to leave comments and suggestions, as the game is still being developed.
