Tux, of Math Command
Zap the falling comets by solving their math problems.
▶ Play Tux, of Math Command free, in your browser, nothing to install
Tux, of Math Command (Tux4Kids, version 2.0.3) is a math arcade game: comets carrying arithmetic problems fall toward four igloos, and Tux zaps them with his laser when you type the right answer.
Each wave adds comets and speeds them up; every correct answer scores, and a comet that reaches an igloo melts one of its two layers. Lose all four igloos and the game is over.
This port uses the original sprites, backgrounds, sounds, lesson files and math-card generator; the five arcade levels are the originals from Space Cadet to Commando, with their own number ranges and operations.
