Amazing concept. I like that every color had unique gameplay tied to it. I think I enjoyed red/orange the best though green was interesting, though I found it easy since you can just jump over everything. The final level felt like it went on longer than it needed to though.
When it comes to the second phase, it's really funny and i didnt see that coming. Really great concept and narative, but for the first phase? meh, i really hate math, haha
Easily one of my favorites in the jam -so creative!! Legit had me laughing and was really fun and challenging too! Really surprising entry -loved it!! :D
Nice game! I really enjoyed this lol, was such an unexpected but welcome twist at the beginning! The only thing I'd like to see more of is animations, and maybe more checkpoints (specifically in the 3rd level), but other than that, this was an awesome game. Nice work!
What a wild ride! not what i was expecting from early game
That was so unexpected haha, I was sure I was going to be doing some math problems
Well I have my choice for "best game of jam" now. Awesome work!
if the jam was “it's not what it looks like” you would win for sure, it was very funny and made me laugh at the soap opera that was set up.
I can never look at Z the same way again...
Haha! That was the most clever interpretation of the theme by far! I enjoyed it very much, gave me a good laugh
I laugh sooo hard on this one... you got me there buddy!!! I thought this is gonna be you typical math game lmao... Nice job
I laughed a lot :D Cool narration, really funny (and surprising)! Quick note : I see no one else in the comments mentioning it so it might be a problem coming from my laptop/browser, but the dimensions of the game are huge (even with fullscreen mode activated, I was not able to see the whole screen).
Anyway, great job with this submission!
The game dimensions was quite large in my device as well. I found a workaround though—just zooming out the browser (CTRL -).

You can press ctrl and +/-, or hold ctrl and scroll with the mouse, to change the webpage size. That should make the game window smaller.
I replied first :)
Wow! This game is so funny, i really liked! The different game genres, it's so creative! Especially the 2.5D ones.
And the history, well, I would say, it's very interesting... I wasn't expecting that from the game XD
Great job! Pretty cool game:D
Mom, why does my math game have deep worldbuilding and a full story arc? I just wanted to solve for X, not witness the next Nobel Prize winner!
All jokes aside, I genuinely did not expect that. I went in with simple solving in mind, and you just slapped that idea out of my head. Wow.
Did not expect that to happen.
Without giving any spoilers to other players who tries this later. Please keep on playing until something special happens you won't regret it.
Really amazing game and looking forward to more!
