Took me a while to understand that I had to use math to get to the flowers.
Cool concept! I could see this being used in schools.

How does you game fit the theme?
Complex numbers aren't real numbers.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes! Except the Godot Engine, of course.

Too much work for me haha but I'm sure math people like it. Cool idea.
Oh dude I have learned complex numbers about an hour and still can't pick a ridiculous flower :') Really good game with innovative mechanic and neat pixel art. Reallly awesome job!
Nice game, I'm not that good with complex numbers but it's still a good game nonetheless and I love the way you designed the page to blend in with the game. Very clever - great job!
The game looks beautiful, but I have zero idea about complex numbers, so I randomly pressed buttons trying to figure it out and gave up. Then again, for people with knowledge about complex numbers, seems like a neat game!
Neat little mindbending game! It was a nice learning experience.
I figured out how to do it with only three buttons: 00, +i and *i. I used *i to rotate my character 90 degrees. Then I could use +i to move up one vertically. If I moved vertically, rotated 90 degrees, and used +i again, it's sorta like moving horizontally (or at least perpendicular to the "vertical" movement). So with those two I could reach any flower I wanted and If I got too far out I could just reset.
Nice job!

The look of the game is really nice, Only thing is had no clue what I was meant to do. Could be cos I'm not great at maths. Still Nice Work.
Very cute, and I loved the idea of the imaginary numbers movement system. GJ.
What a great idea for a game!
At first, I was a bit confused what I should do, then I read in the comments that you are supposed to reach the flower fields.
The notation is different from what I'm used to. For me, 1 i2 means 1 * 2i. It took me a while to understand that it's 1 + 2i. A text field that shows the latest equation would clear thing up :)
For example
(1 + 2i) * (-i) = 2 - i after the player clicked (-i).
Overall it's an amazing game and well executed. The graphics and animation look great too. Keep up the good work :)
I love your interpretation of the theme! Using complex numbers is brilliant. I am jealous I did not think of this :D
Great work!!

The idea is excellent, it is a very good use of the theme, and the art is very nice. But the game is really confusing, despite the good idea. Is my goal to go where there are flowers? Or is it getting off the map? It really is confusing, and it must be much worse if you don't know about complex numbers.
