I spent an embarrassingly long time on the final level.

Fun game! I thought the writing was very witty.

Thank you! I was trying to lay on the mathematical puns and references pretty thick, hahaha :D

Nice! If I were a kid learning math, this would be such a cool way to do it! I thought more sound could help with immersion. Very cool puzzles!

Developer

Yeah, I often think about how to make learning with video games more fun. I have this idea for a sci fi game that sneakily teaches you about circuits. Dreams...

Well I beat it!

The first thing I noticed is that the music seems to just cut out when it's over and another song doesn't play for a while.

Also I totally found a cheat. Since stepping off the bord resets the ones you stepped on, if the numbers you need are right next to the exit you can easily get them and skip a lot of the path. There's even one that has the number you need directly next to the exit.

I will say though the final puzzle had me stumped for a minute!

Being able to step off and reset in the middle was definitely intended :D Given more time I would have liked to have made more puzzles that required that bit of knowledge.
