Don't tell that to our CEO, he'll make us alter course !

More seriously, we would like to cover all the big ideas in math. And statistics is one of them. It's in the big plan.

Almost that :)

We're currently based in Norway (with part of the team in France). We use the Norwegian price in NOK as basis.

We used to have these nice per-country-almost-rounded-prices, like 4.99$ etc. But the latest European laws affected the Play Store and caused a price change. We didn't really bother trying to round them properly again.

Is the current price really too odd ? ;)

Adding more levels/features to the Algebra game is in our roadmap. Right now we are heavily focusing on the coming products to take the company to a new level :)

Hello HN !

Thanks to the nice comments here. Very appreciated!

To add a bit to the discussion: we made 3 games so far, 2 versions of our algebra game and one about geometry (Euclidian geometry proof really).

We also co-organized Algebra Challenges with our research partner the University of Washington. As an example, one of those events, in Norway last year, gathered 36k students from ages 7 to 16. They solved almost 8 million equations in under a week.

We are not just app makers, we are more focused on providing tools and social innovations.

We would like to do coding one day, but first things first! Our next games are targeting younger kids and number sense.

Feel free to ask questions, or take contact!

Jerome, head-nerd @ WWTK :)
