I was contacted by the PR for Rock Ridge Games, regarding a title they have called ‘Solution Zero’ – having downloaded and played it, and had some fun doing so (the playing part, that is!), I thought I’d share it with y’all – it’s supposed to be a brain stimulator, and simply put, you have a list of numbers, which you have to place ‘Operators’ (that’s +, -, x, ÷ to you and me) between, in order the final sum comes to zero. Sound easy? Give it a go!
Counteract mushy-mind syndrome and stay sharp this summer with a heaping helping of Solution Zero’s brain-building challenges. The object of the game is simple: complete on-screen equations by dragging operators (+, -, x, ÷) between a set of six numbers until the solution equals zero. The total will update as players slide operators around the touch screen, offering a clear picture of their progress. In each round players must tackle ten equations, and will earn points based on number of “zero solutions” achieved, as well as how quickly the equations are solved. Players can also track their high scores and watch as their arithmetic intellect improves.
Designed by a Mensa member and noted video game AI author, Solution Zero offers 4 levels of difficulty, providing age-appropriate challenges for everyone from elementary students to math geniuses. Future game updates will feature an online leaderboard, where players can compute and compete against other puzzlers worldwide. Pick-up-and-play mechanics, addictive gameplay and over 325,000 puzzles make Solution Zero a no-brainer at $1.99 in the App Store
You can pick Solution Zero up on the App Store for $1.99 / £1.19.

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
