Sounds great!

How about this? I was just chatting with my sixth-grade daughter, and
we came up with the idea of adding one prime factor with each level:

e.g. - on the first level, Tux only has the "2 Gun", and all the rocks
are powers of 2.
       - for the second level, Tux additionally has the "3 Gun", and
the rocks are 2^n * 3^m.
and so forth for a few more primes.

(we were again thinking about FPS-type games, where a big part of the
reward for progress is the unlocking of additional "weapons").

I think that would make it quite a bit more educational, and fun.

Cheers,

David
