Current version is stable but need / would like to add the following for next update.

  • Simplify splash screen to show 'Math Blast' text only.
  • Add structured progression / plot starting with addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and maybe modulus, fractions and / or percentages.
  • Lock order of rockets and start with Space Shuttle, maybe use only modern rockets, ie Space Ex, European, Chinese, Indian etc. Or historical rockets ie Sputnik, Saturn V etc with explanatory dialogue.
  • Progress through different planets after rocket launches, Mercury, Venus, the Moon, Mars etc through Pluto maybe including the Sun.
  • Potentially add side-scrolling asteroid dodging game after launch.
  • Start menu checklist could include solar system graphic showing planets left.
  • Ending could be final launch to deep space / inhabitable planet. Switch to RPG overhead inside spaceship with dad.
