Jonesing for some math


Having come up with what we thought was a sure-fire way to make a game that actually teaches (see Rosie's Rates), we thought we'd use that same technique on our bread and butter topic, fractions.
We went out, did the worksheet, and then came up with a game around it. This one was actually a lot of fun. We did it all in 2D, and wrote up a story about Wiki Jones, Safety Patrol Investigator. He uses math to bust a bunch of criminals who are selling fake bacon (facon) to kids at his school. I love the art in this game. I just had to rough out a sketch on the white board and our super talented illustrator would make it gorgeous.
