Math Combat Challenge is a Math game, and is also a survival game, with some First Person areas and starship areas. The key of the game is solving math problems while trying to survive. Complexity of the math problems are random and can be configured, from simple adds to equations. Some panels require the player to look for the right number across the arena (static panels). Others appear just some seconds with different solutions, where you must shoot the right answer before disappearing (dynamic panels).
You're solving math problems, and you know solving math is not easy, especially when you only have some seconds to find and shoot the right answer. Then an old friend appears to salute you. How distracting. Use the flamethrower. It's the best option when something with three heads wants to disturb you from your work.
