Rullo is a logic and math based game that involves a grid of several numbers that you manipulate to add up to the values in the surround boxes. It's fairly simple, but it's a very nice math training game.
I've played some similar games to this in the past, and this did a pretty good execution of the concept. It had a clear tutorial to run through the rules and a practice round. And it has a randomly generated set of grids (where you can choose your size and number range) to keep the game going as long as you're interested.
The apps and so forth that I've played this style of game on before tend to have this similar formula, but the fact that this was user friendly and basically bug-free meant it was a solid experience throughout.

I do kind of wish the game had a bit more variety, though. My favorite logic game app on the iOS has literally hundreds of different games to keep itself relevant. Any one game like this doesn't really hold your attention for long enough, unless it's extremely unique or challenging. While I loved the execution and concept of this game, it fits well among other logic games; I don't think it's a particularly successful standalone title.
I applaud the developer for creating a smooth, thought provoking game. Now package it together with some other logic games and that would give it some more character.
