Battles just got a whole lot louder - thanks to Ava! Ava told us combat felt too samey and needed more "juice". She was right, so we rebuilt it: EVERY MOVE NOW HITS DIFFERENTLY. Quick Count pops your foe into the air, Carry Crunch rattles them where they stand, Pattern Pound flattens them, and a super-effective hit launches them clean off their feet. EVERY MOVE NOW LOOKS DIFFERENT IN FLIGHT. Number Blitz fires a three-shot volley, Equation Surge throws a lance of light, Mirror Strike sends twin bolts crossing mid-air, Number Shield hurls a tumbling slab - eight distinct attack styles in all. THE FINAL BLOW. Win the battle and your opponent is knocked spinning clean out of view in a shower of sparks and debris. Lose, and yours goes flying instead. MORE PUNCH ALL ROUND: screen shake that scales with the hit, impact shockwaves, flashes on critical hits, and attackers that lunge into the blow. EASIER TO READ: damage numbers are bigger, clearer, and now stay on screen long enough to actually read. Thanks Ava - brilliant feedback. Happy calculating!

Finish all 20 towns? Now you get a party. NEW - THE BIG CELEBRATION. Clear every one of a year's 20 towns and the game throws you a proper send-off: confetti, a golden trophy, and your run's headline stats - towns restored, Alphabeasts collected, and mastery. Finish EVERY year and the crown comes out for a Champion of the Archipelago finale. It's the moment the whole adventure builds to, so we made it feel like one. Happy calculating!

Fresh music, smoother battles! NEW: fresh battle music! Nine brand-new 8-bit chiptune tracks now power the monster battles - the fights have never sounded better. NO MORE DEJA-VU: you won't get the same question twice in a single battle. YOUR TEAM, SORTED: monsters in the battle picker line up by level, strongest first. FRESHER BANTER: a big new batch of (proudly cheesy) maths puns between turns. MAP FIX: Lighthouse Isle had invisible walls on the sand - now you can explore the whole island. Thanks to Olivia for the superstar bug-spotting that made this update better! Happy calculating!

Two fixes in this update: More monsters to collect - we boosted the catch rates, so winning a battle now usually means a new monster joins your team instead of getting away. Battle facing fix - some monsters were facing away from their opponent during battles. Everyone now squares up the right way. Thanks for playing Maths Monsters!

We turned our monsters the right way round! A few brave beasts had been battling while facing AWAY from their opponents — very awkward for all involved. They're now squared up, eyeball to eyeball, and ready to duel. Also worth a shout: • Fully voiced — every question and lesson is read aloud by a friendly narrator, so even the earliest readers can play on their own • Four curriculums built right in: Australian, US Common Core, England and New Zealand — pick yours and go • A fresh preview showing off the working-out scratchpad (finger or Apple Pencil) • Tidied up a few (non-monster) bugs Keep counting, keep collecting — and thanks for playing Maths Monsters!
