Is it any good?
MATH BUMPIES is an excellent idea but a little rough on the execution. Incorporating the iPhone's tilt sensor to roll around the levels is a fun way to control the rounded cartoon characters, but because the rolling is a little sluggish, it can be difficult to time the jumps to hit the correct answer. In later levels with shark-infested waters or a moving enemy, players need to roll through the entire level each time they hit the obstacle—some checkpoints throughout the levels would be nice. Math Bumpies makes it more interesting to solve math problems, but the amateur graphics and unresponsive controls keep it from being excellent.
