How does your game fit the theme?
This game aligns with the jam theme "assemble" by focusing on the concept of constructing mathematical equations through the combination of numbers and operations. Players assemble equations by selecting numbers and applying arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) to reach a target number, thereby creating a cohesive mathematical structure.
The gameplay mechanics encourage strategic assembly of numbers and operations, reinforcing problem-solving skills as players must carefully choose their moves to effectively "assemble" the correct equations to win. This interactive process embodies the theme by merging elements to create a complete solution.
note: A bit irrelevant, but I accidentally submitted the review form halfway in the last question; if I recall it was something "what was your challenges and advantages with creating a game on Godot?" which I only sent the game title... it seems the form cannot be edited or resubmitted, so if you allow me I’d like to provide my full response here:
challenges: debugging. Godot offers a good way to debug a game, but the engine itself is somewhat buggy and it confused me sometimes and forced me to reboot the engine.
advantages: with node-based hierarchy it was quite easy to reuse elements.

What a very interesting and unique concept. Much like other people, it definitely took me a minute to figure it out (I completely missed the guide menu in the main menu). Once I got going, it was quite a brain-teaser trying to think several steps ahead in order to re-form the numbers into the other side. It's also quite an interesting mechanic where you setup the right side of the equation, so in a way you can also strategize that way.
The only thing I really had issues with are the controls. They feel complicated and even after I familiarized myself I was still hitting the wrong buttons and what not.
But the game itself is quite the interesting and fun puzzler, definitely one of the most unique ones I've seen. Keep up the good work!
It took me a little bit to understand how to play and the goal, but it was fun once I got it. A very unique puzzle/math game. Great job!
The game was very cryptic at first, and then I kinda got the hang of it. I think the controls are quite confusing and you should have stuck to mouse input or the numpad maybe. Other than that a very creative and interesting game (I like the menu vibe :D)
Nice, Wish there was more to it like an endless level or something
I like the vibe!
Once I understood what I was supposed to be doing it turned into an interesting math game. I think a bit of explanation text somewhere in the game could have helped. Good entry.
My dumb ass couldn't understand a thing
Nice mechanic. Simple but enjoyable.
It seems it is not possible to progress infinitely, as you will eventually run out of operators with the larger numbers. But perhaps I missed something.
A very interesting idea, a bit complex to understand at first, but that might just be because I'm not very smart, haha. Nice game!
