The app received strong user feedback, earning a 4.5-star rating and positive reviews for its innovative approach to math education. A sequel, Mayan Math, is currently in development and expands on the original by introducing addition, subtraction, and division. It also features remastered games, new games, daily challenges, side quests, and a new system of in-game rewards.
