How does the game fit the theme?
Nothing can go wrong... Or go right, or go left...
In Calculus, you control a spaceship with very simple controls:
Press nothing and the instruction nothing will occur (either left, right or wrong).
Press something and the instruction something will occur (either left, right or wrong).
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Music and SFX are from Ovani Sound.

Thanks a lot ! 🙂
nice idea like it
Thanks a lot 🙂
Fun game! I really love how you interpreted the theme here.
Thanks a lot! 🙂
Cool concept, really liked the music!!!
Thanks a lot :)
Interesting concept! The part with the math was a complete surprise.
Thanks a lot for playing my game! :) I'll test your game as soon as I have time!
Very creative game design, it was hard at firs but had lots of fun! Great work.
Thanks a lot I'm glad you had fun! I'll test your game as soon as I have time :)
I would very like to hear your feedback on my game!
It's a very fun and polished game, I love the visuals even though it's a bit 2hard4me (I only passed the first level lol)
Thanks a lot I'm glad you liked it :) Yeah it's very hard I know lol. It's already good to have passed the first level. The others are quite different, but just as hard haha.
I'll test your game as soon as I have time (what a name lol).
Tried to stay alive to enjoy the music longer :) the control swap adds a nice twist!
Thanks a lot for playing my game! If you didn't try the other levels, gameplay (and music) is quite different :)
I loved how you mixed the theme with shoot them up mechanics, loved having a quick and understandable tutorial !
I just started the game and understood everything it had to do to play it!
You have done a great job, congratulations !
Thanks a lot for this great review!!
A fun unconventional take on the theme, feels like a Wario Ware take on a shmup in the best of ways!
Thanks a lot I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
A very unique concept and take on the theme! An asteroid game based on math? Such a fun idea!
The game can be a little overwhelming but when you're finally in the zone, it's really satisfying.
Great job!
Thanks a lot! I'll try your game later today!
Really cool use of the subject
Thank you :)
Much more fun than the calculus i'm used to! Fun idea to flip the controls like that. Really enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot for playing my game! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :) I'll play your game later today
Not the calculus I remember, but this is such a cool concept! I'm a substitute teacher by day and I can say with absolutely certainty that the elementary kids I work with would absolutely lose their minds over these mechanics regardless of if it were math, spelling or any other subject.
I also think there's a real possibility they'd lose their minds with how tight the calculation changes are in proximity to the next incoming target. I have an engineering degree and even I felt robbed on a couple of occasions.
Really though, this is such a cool concept with so much utility outside of just being fun. Great job!
Wow thank you so much for your review, it really makes my day! I have to admit that I went a bit hard on the difficulty, I was too afraid it would be too simple and it ended up being the opposite haha
Amazing concept,. Really enjoyed playing it. Coming back again ...
Wow thanks a lot! It means a lot to me
Nice game. It took a bit to get used to the controls, but after a while it became easier.
Thanks a lot for playing my game! Did you try the second level ? The gameplay is actually quite different :)
Yes, but I did it after playing level 4. I was confused how the math objects worked because I skipped level 2. After level 2 I found it was my fault for skipping 2 levels. It is great that the game is playable with one key (any key).
Really enjoyed the game, I did not pass the first level though after 12 tries.
The inversion of control is a very good concept for the jam theme.
Congrats!
Thanks a lot for playing my game! Yeah it's a bit hard I know 😅 If you have time please give level 2 a try, it's not the same gameplay!
I'll try right now thanks! My son was asking "Whare are the maths thing?" ^^
Thanks a lot :D Haha you'll find out. Spoiler: it's also very hard ^^
very cool and simple game,I Like it!!!
Thanks a lot :)
Very clever idea and interpretation of the theme, and deceptively difficult for such a simple concept. Nice!
Thanks a lot for playing my game! I'm glad you liked it!
Super cool interpretation of the theme! For me was a bit hard, as I took a couple of tries for each level.
But had fun nonetheless!
Thanks a lot 🙂
