About the game
A little red fox runs on the grass, at the foot of green hills, under white clouds. A log is coming up ahead. To jump over it, you need to find the answer to a multiplication, like 3 × 7, among four choices. The traps are clever: the wrong answers are close to the right one, often the answer from a neighboring times table. The race starts with the 2 and 3 times tables, then one more table joins at each level, until all the tables from 2 to 10 are mixed together at level 8. The challenge: go further every time and beat your best score, shown at the end of each game.
How to play
Your goal: make the fox jump over every log. Pick the right answer among the four buttons: tap it with your finger, click it or press key 1, 2, 3 or 4 on the keyboard; Enter or Space starts the game. The time bar turns red when the log gets close. A right answer earns 10 to 20 points, depending on how fast you are. A mistake or a late answer costs one of your 3 hearts. Every five right answers, you go up a level and the time gets shorter: about 8 seconds at the start, 4 from level 9. There is no last level: the race goes on as long as you have a heart left.
