How did you incorporate the theme "COMBINATION"?
The Devil's Gambit is a math game where the main mechanic is to combine numbers and operators to create new numbers. The main key points being combine and create. I think that incorporates the theme pretty well.

A great game that will keep your brain and hear young!
Glad you liked it!
What a super polished game this is! I love the way the art and the post processing came together to make this really cool aesthetic. Unfortunately I wasn't able to really do much because my ultra wide monitor resolution kind of messed up the play area and wouldn't let me see the numbers I'd place down.
I am really sorry to hear that :( I really didn't think that screen ratios would cause an issue. I will make sure to fix them after the jam.
But thank you so much for playing despite the glitch!
Interesting approach! I little hard to wrap my head around at first, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. Love the shaders / post processing. Great job!
Really glad you liked it! :D
Great approach to the theme! I think the post processing effects gave the game a really good look!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Great theme implementation! I love the simplicity of the game, and matching it up with the post-process effect makes it even better. Awesome work. This game is somewhat similar to my GMTK entry where you pick a number and operator to reach a certain number.
I tried to find similar games but didn't find anything. I will surely try it!
Great work! :D love how you approach the theme! the game was a real motivation to wake my mind, loved the old screen effect on the game, nice work!
Thank you so much! :D
i love it, use theme is awesone
I am really glad that you liked it! :D
Cool theme interpretation :) I liked reading about the lore.
Despite the simple GUI, the post-processing effects are giving it a really nice touch and in general I'm loving the style!
Here are some suggestions:
Next time consider adding a browser version too to reach a greater audience! All in all, a cool and polished game, congrats!
Yes, the colors are a little bit confusing. I should've changed them somehow.
Did you read the score tab in the info panel? I described most of it in there. It's a little bit confusing. And since I couldn't add any visual feedback it's a bit hard to tell what's matched.
That's a cool idea. It didn't cross my mind. XD
And yes I know. My first and only target was webgl build. But the build was giving me a lot of errors. Mainly because browsers can't read local files. Reading a pretty big json is a core component of the game. So yeah. And by the time I fixed it, the deadline ended and updates were closed :(
Thank you for the feedback!!
Great use of the theme! Would have loved to play with the num key pad.
Glad you liked it! I though about adding numpad support. Maybe in a future update if I ever open this project again :v
pretty cool and fits the theme well and i love "its the devil and he's literally evil"
Really glad you liked it!!
