Tree Tutor for Tots

An addition tutor for small children, built around an apple tree. The apples in the tree are the top number of the problem and the apples on the ground are the bottom number; the child adds them and answers. A right answer brings a bird swooping down to pluck an apple from the tree and drop it into the basket. A wrong answer says TRY AGAIN, with no penalty, and shows the apples for the rest of that problem. Before starting, choose the highest sum, from 2 to 9, and whether the apples are always shown or only after a wrong answer. Ten apples in the basket end the game, which reports how many tries it took while the bird lands on the message.

Controls: Use either controller. Press the answer on the keypad, or push the stick left or right along the row of number keys and press a side button. The title settings are chosen the same way.
