The latest game to join the SanrioTown Games Center is sure to be a big hit to the math lovers out there. Calculation, estimation, and measurement are the skills you’re going to be needing to be able to do well in KeroKeroKeroppi’s Super Engineer game!
The game’s instructions are deceptively simple: simply try to draw the object on the lower box as close as you can make it by dragging your mouse to form the shape. However, your drawings aren’t just limited to the shape: angles and sizes are also taken into consideration here. Higher points (and time!) will be awarded for accuracy, so try to make your drawings as precise as possible if you want to join the list of the Top Five players!
Check it out now at SanrioTown’s Game Center!
