Shocked how cool this math game is. The ending kinda scared me :)

Very cool concept. Nice graphics. Very good game. Just wish it was easier to aim.

Cool math game, I didn’t expect it to be a rail shooter and definitely didn’t expect the end! You got the difficulty curve just about right. ;-) Some of my suggestions:

  1. It took me some time to figure out how to type answers, so I had to restart the game. Maybe you could add a brief text explanation in the menu.

  2. I think you need to add a crosshair in the center of the screen, because it can be difficult to eyeball the calculator guys.

  3. A speedup key would also be nice, because sometimes you clear a room and still have to wait for a long time to leave it.

Overall (A), great game! Very nice art style (A+), fun and fitting music (B+), challenging equations (A+)! :-P

Very nice idea!

By itself, this could be a full game. It starts a bit slow, but the end was really unexpected.

I would really like to see this game improved and used in schools to teach simple math to students.

Congratulations!

Wow GuiDB! That means a lot. This experience can definitely be one level of a larger experience. We were inspired by Pokemon Snap's railway & level progression so if anything we'd do something like that, but weirder...

It was fun! It's just that at first it took me some time to figure out how to play it.

Developer

Yeah, like any other project if we had a few more hours we could have added polish.

Good game. Only reminded me of studying at the university, which plunged me into depression. Well, I really miss an aim point, yes.

Developer

We really wanted to have a large range of math equations so this feedback is awesome! Thanks Artem Flo!

Definitely an experience. At first I didn't know you were supposed to answer the questions at the end hahaha. I got a D, so I guess I'll definitely have to bring out the calculator next time :)

Developer

Haha yeah I've gotten a lot of F's & C's... Maybe we'll have difficulty ramps available.

So, this was 100% unexpected. I don't know what I expected with a math game, but an on rails shooter wasn't it. I will say I did really horribly the first time I played cause I didn't know I had to type numbers in and shoot them at the problems, I thought it was an overindulgent intro cinematic until halfway through. Also the numbers you shoot seem to go at a weird trajectory that made me miss quite a few times. Overall, pretty fun and neat.

BE MATH! DON'T GOSSIP!

I forgot to mention the eerie otherworldliness of the last section was awesome.

Developer

Thanks! Happy to hear how unexpected and eerie it got. Definitely what we wanted to hear HeroRobb! :)
