Alien Addition
Description
Alien Addition is an educational game that mixes maths problems with the gameplay of a shoot 'em up. The player controls a cannon left and right along the bottom of the screen and has to shoot down the aliens space ships that appear above him. There are five ships in a row and they slowly begin descending down the screen. Each ship has a maths problem written on it and to shoot it down the player has to enter the correct answer for the ship above him. The player is destroyed if any ship reaches the bottom. The game otherwise runs for a fixed time which can be customized by the player. Other customization options include skill level (1 to 9) and problem range (3, 6 or 9).

Stop the invaders by solving addition problems
The Good
Colorful graphics
You can control various aspects of the difficulty (problems can use numbers up to 3, 6, or 9, and you have various speeds you can set).
The Bad
No music/basic sound effects
You have to type the correct answers, making this almost as much a typing game as a math game.
The Bottom Line
As alien saucers with addition problems on them descend from above, you have to move your canon, type the answer to the problem, and fire at them to destroy them.
