What is Exact?

Exact is a math puzzle game for Playdate. Every crab on the board carries a number. Plan a route over the number tiles, and the math sheet adds it up as you go. Make the crab's number exactly, press A, and your drill tank drives the route and launches the crab off the board.

Chain more crabs into one run and the praise climbs from COOL! to SUPERSTAR!, with a voice line for each. 18 floors across six clans teach one skill at a time: adding with crabs, taking away with snails, times tables with ants, odd and even with armadillos, sharing with moles and missing numbers with beetles. Every third floor ends on a boss, from the Hermit King to the Rhino Beetle.

How to play

  1. Read the crab

    Every crab carries a number. Your drill tank starts each run at 0.

  2. Plan the route

    Use the D-pad to step over number tiles in any of eight directions. The math sheet adds them up. Tap B to take back a step.

  3. Make it exact

    Step into a crab only when your total matches its number. A wrong sum and the crab just giggles. Up to 10 tiles between crabs.

  4. Drill it

    Press A and the tank drives your route. Drill several crabs in one run for bigger praise, and 2 or more repair a heart.

  5. Watch the march

    Crabs march down a row every few turns. One that reaches the bottom bites a heart, and you start with 3.

  6. Beat the boss

    Every third floor is a boss with number plates. Hit each plate with the exact total to crack it.

Exact floor 2: the route adds up to the crab's number, the drill tank drives it, and two crabs earn a CLEVER! sticker.
ControlsD-pad to plan, A to drill, B to undo. Undock the crank to aim and step with it instead.
