Description:
Is it an educational game? An arcade game? A puzzle game? It's all of these and more. It's a tetris clone with a mathematical twist! Instead of just filling up rows with blocks, you need to form mathematical equations in order to get the blocks to disappear. Falling numbers, operators, equals signs, bombs and more require rapid thinking in order to get the two sides of an equation to match up. You'll be surprised at all the strategies needed to reach the higher levels and get a high score. Falling Formulas was awarded 5 doves by Completely Free Software and called a "must-have" for Tetris Collectors.

Review Notes:
Be prepared for some serious mental gymnastics!!

To keep the download file as small as possible, the Visual Basic 6.0 Runtime and OLE files needed to run the game were not included (since many people already have these files on their computers). For more information, or to download these files, click here.
