The Semideus School game is a fun way to learn fraction and decimal numbers. By playing Semideus, learners improve their ability to perceive and estimate rational numbers in multiple forms. The adventure happens on Mount Olympos. The task of the player, Semideus, is to find the gold coins that Kobalos the Goblin has stolen from Zeus. On the way to Mount Olympos, Semideus has to chase the goblin, seek the coins, avoid traps, and crush math based enemies. The game is intuitive allowing anyone to learn rational numbers in an engaging way.
