This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

After the cliffhanger ending of Chill Manor, you'd think that the third and final Action Learning game would be another part of the "Meen series". But instead, Animation Magic decided to make it about an Earth spaceship getting attacked by evil geometry-themed aliens, and the player solving math problems in order to repair the ship and save the crew. Yep.

Welcome... to Math Invaders.

Unused Graphics

MathInvaders SamplerScreen.png

The nag screen from Math Invaders' demo sampler remains in the final's data, unused.

Interestingly, the title code/VDN numbers aren't unique to this game - they first appeared (by mistake, most likely) in an unused graphic in Chill Manor's sampler demo.
