This was really fun to play! Like wow I didn't expect everything to come together as much as it did and was super on point for theme as well. You managed to come up with a puzzle type that was really easy to understand but made me have to think every time. I really appreciated the fun lighthearted setting/characters as well. Thanks for the really fun experience!

How have you used the theme "Strength Lies in Differences" in your game?
First of all, it's in the title. In a more detailed sense, the theme also shows in the gameplay. The game is about differences. Quite literally, as we need to solve equations and figure how to calculate the difference between two values. Strength is also definitely featured as well, as that is your first power. Pure strength allows you to move number boxes, and put them in answer slots. But that is not enough to proceed in the game. In order to be able to escape the dungeon, you need different powers that come from different people you can rescue in the dungeon. Together, you can solve the complex puzzles scattered around the levels of SLID!

Hey thank you so much for the kind comments! We tried to create a familiar setting using a Sokoban foundation with our own twist, adding an extra layer of puzzle solving mechanics. We wanted to keep it simple and recreate that retro feel from old school games. We are glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for playing our game! The Sokoban mix and match idea didn't come to us straight away. The original idea was related to party members you discover in your run in a dungeon crawler type game that will help you survive for a longer period of time. We were able to extract some of the original idea and it shows in the final submission.
Great. Well although my entry is not a maths game in it's game play, it is all grid based maths under the hood. No physics or collision involved. The maths to get the water falling right literally made my head pop and is why lots of stuff is missing and does not work. Just spent a bit of time fixing problems today and it's so much better already with very little effort. The power of a clear mind and a good nights sleep!
