MiniMines (Version 2)
This is a puzzle game that tests your skill at multiplication. Each level starts with an assortment of happy and unhappy faces. Your goal (of course) is to make all the faces happy. You can only click on a face that is already happy, and so don’t go clicking on the unhappy faces. But be careful not to just click randomly, clicking the wrong face will only result in more unhappy faces.

Sound effects are pretty cool. It is definitely an educational game but I would love it to be more challenging (so as to be more fun). I’d suggest ‘harder’ penalties as the level goes up (time constraint, not being able to click back if one makes a wrong decision, score, defining how many times in total at each level one can click to change the faces, etc).
As for the educational part, maybe after certain level, other math content(s) can be added in (such as power?). I am thinking kids should be able to find the pattern/rule within ten levels and the gameplay afterwards seems to be a bit repetitive. Also, a number can have many factors but clearly not every ‘doable’ factor can cheer up the happy faces. Kids may get confused about this (for instance, at level 8, I would expect clicking on 5 can easily turn all those under 5 [15, 25, 35...]and 10 [20, 30, 40...] to happy faces but it did not).
