This is a very interesting entry. I don't think I recall a game ever making me remember the answer to the previous question continually, definitely keeps the brain working! Keep on making games :)

Thank you! If you like this kind of exercise, I highly recommend Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training on 3DS. I got the idea from that game.

Neat idea to mix mental math with platform mechanics!

I tried doing the mental math at first each jump, but half the time I would forget the last question. I ended up getting to the top of the screen, doing as many questions as I could before the floor caught up the continuing.

That’s also my strategy. I hope someday human beings will evolve into truly multitasked!

Music is relaxing, game is too! It is easy to switch to calculation - just skip the one you don't remember and calculate, then jump. I like it how you can jump out of the box :)

Thank you for the game!

Haha! I forgot to set the wall higher. Let’s consider that as a feature to encourage people to think outside the box!

I sure cannot multi-task lol!  All I did was batch as many calculations together before jumping like hell to survive.  This creates a very fun dynamic haha.  Thanks for the game.  It's fun to play!

Thank you, I appreciate your kind comment! At first, I planned to add a snake as a third minigame to make it even more challenging. I think I made a good trade-off between difficulty and playability.

This was enjoyable! It wasn’t immediately clear that I had to respond to the previous question, and I thought it was a bug since I neglected to read the description… A brief introductory note in-game could have been nice. After that it was fairly easy though, since the screen fell so slowly and it didn’t seem to be speeding up (and I don’t see it speeding up from skimming the source code). Thank you for the game!

Developer

The slow speed was designed to mitigate a bug. I forgot to adjust the speed after fixing that bug. Thank you for the pro tips! I will add the intro and speed up after this jam finishes.

Very fun game, new dynamic for me. I find it challenging to alternate between remembering the questions and jump&run in the left panel. Good choice of background music. Full marks!

Thank you for the positive feedback! I almost gave up on finishing this. Reading your comment makes me regain my confidence!
