The verdict

An idle game that's secretly a love letter to mathematics: progress by pushing equations, then unlock custom 'theories' with their own mechanics. Free, ad-free, and quietly one of the smartest games on mobile.

Hot take

It's the rare idle game that makes you feel smarter for playing it. The custom theory system is basically modding-as-content — no other mobile incremental respects your brain like this one.
