App description

This educational app is a mathematical puzzle where the player has to rotate the wheel of numbers until the required number appears in each circle. Players must use their skills of addition and problem solving to ensure the correct number appears in each circle with only a certain number of moves. Once this goal is achieved the player moves on to the next puzzle.
