MENSEKI Area maze puzzles

[b]7/10[/b] Very educational and clever math puzzler. [b]What is it:[/b] A collection of clever geometry puzzles. Each level is a drawing of connected rectangles. You are given some of the sizes, either side length or surface area, and by noticing the relations between the rectangles, you have to deduce the side length or area of a target mystery rectangle. At first I was just computing more and more lengths and areas by adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing until I reached the target number, and that works nicely for the first few levels, but that’s not how the game is supposed to be played. The drawings are intentionally not to scale, and the numbers may be misleading, for example seeing a shape that looks a lot like a square and has an area of 49 cm² might make you conclude that it is a 7x7 square, but if you try to compute its actual sides you’ll get some ugly numbers. Instead, you’re supposed to notice that the lower half of it has the same area as another rectangle of area 25, so the upper half has area 24, and the target rectangle is half that size, so the mystery rectangle has area 12! Whenever you get a non-integer number in your computations, you’re not on the r…

apparently there are tricks to this game, but I could not understand most of the explanations. I just used a calculator and basic deductions.

i started at the hardest levels first without realising, I managed to do a bunch before hitting a wall, I was so confused why it was so hard for no reason, and then I realised there were like 3 or 4 pages of previous levels I skipped somehow. anyway, it's fun, and despite some people saying it is a mobile port, it does not look that way, it runs like a native game should, so yeah
