I've been working on a mathematical puzzle-game, sort of like 2048, but with real mathematics.
Rules:
- Combine cells by dragging over them to create a adjacent path, that either multiply or add up to the last cell in the path, like 2*3=6 or 4+5=9.
- Swipe in any direction to move the cells in that direction.
The game uses visual color-code to help the user to get an intuitive feel for which numbers can be multiplied together. Most people will get a sense of this without an explanation, but technically the color coding are the fractions of the number. For instance if the target cell is 12, it has two orange(2) and one green(3). In this case, one can look at cells close to the target that has those colors, instead of performing the calculation.

I've been working on this for about a year in my spare time. I think that the most important part that is missing now is a nicer UI, as well as to tweak the controls a bit.
I've had a ton of fun with this one, with various over engineered implementations (it's my personal project, so I can can do that if I want), and learned a ton.
Interesting highlights:
- Generating fun, varied and challenging boards.
- Using bitmaps to create a custom but memory-space-effective representation of every action taken on a board.
As for a pricing model, I think it will be free, with a _Buy me a coffee_-button or similar.
