MathsGs drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. The core of it is math. Everything runs client-side, so it starts fast even on a modest connection.
About MathsGs

How to play MathsGs
Press play and the first round teaches you the rest. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
