Closed Beta

Times tables become an underwater adventure

Ixilotl helps primary-school children truly automatize their times tables โ€“ using the mechanics that make good games engaging, without their tricks. Completely ad-free.

Ixilotl, the app's axolotl mascot

One times table, one rival, one new friend

Every times table lives as a sea creature in Ixilotl's underwater world โ€“ from the crab in the 2-times table to the giant squid as the final boss of the 10-times table. Master a table, and its rival becomes an ally.

๐ŸŒŠ

Adaptive learning

Ixilotl continuously tracks where a child struggles and blends familiar tasks with new ones โ€“ so every session ends on a sense of success, not frustration.

True automaticity

The goal isn't solving a problem once, it's knowing the answer instantly. Repetition with purpose, not rote drilling.

Rewards for sticking with it

Diamonds are earned for genuine progress โ€“ a new best time, a task solved for the first time โ€“ as well as for regular practice. They unlock cosmetic customization for the app's look and sound, like effects, color themes, or audio sets. Kids love making their Ixilotl world their own.
