It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise that my upcoming move was shown in the top left of the screen. There’s a lot going on! It’s nice that you apparently get more or less benefit from the numbers, though, rather than a binary good/bad outcome. It gets you thinking about the numbers involved but doesn’t feel punishing.
Thanks a lot! Maths feeling rewarding, instead of punishing, was one of the goals. However, this created some clarity issues. The answer sounds seemed to be insufficient feedback and as you say, there is a lot going on ^ ^u ! I hope to refine this in an updated version. Hope you play that one too :)

I really like the art style, and the effects that accompany the gameplay make it even more fun to play. Great job!
Thanks! I learned a lot making the effects and I am very happy you find them enjoyable!
Good game idea, and fun gameplay!
Good game idea, and fun gameplay!
Thanks :D
Using the power of math to vanquish your foes? Well, that's a first.
Great jam submission!
Multiplying them by zero... yes! Thanks.
the concept is great, using math as the main mechanic for gameplay is a good approach. thinking what was higher or lower values makes you think first before clicking something and because of that it makes the game intense a little bit. nice entry. I would love your rating on my game as well if isn't a bother. thanks
Thanks!!! I am glad you liked the concept. One part of me has been thinking to make the questions and the powers independant (as people may take more or less time to think) but then they can just... click whatever? I dont know ^ ^U Also, not a problem at all! I saw your game and was a very nice job!
cool graphics and math concept, though I’m not sure how it works.
Thanks a lot! You just need to choose the highest number (or operation) to fill the OP bar. As it fills all your moves, attack and defense, get better and stronger. I will keep working to make it more clear ☺️
nice thanks for the instructions! Check out my game if you have time!
That was really cool!
Thanks!
It's pretty fun and can be addictive. However I would suggest to make the numbers easier to calculate cause so big numbers can be a bit difficult for people to calculate quickly. And I would say to work on the health and damage effects. Like enemies respond with sound to the attacks or the player response sound. The visual effects are there but the feedback sound can be better. The game feel and sound effects are good. Good Job mate. Hoping to see you work more on this.
Thanks a lot for the feedback 💪. Sound was (and still is) a real challenge so for sure I will look into it. About the operations, and especially for bigger ones, it is more about intuition and using math shortcuts, as I dont really expect anyone to calculate the actual answers on the spot. Hope to make it more balanced and fun after the jam 😁
Kudos for making basically a learning game based on the theme! Definitely not many of those around. ;) It was pretty fun too!
Thanks a lot!
I like the math idea. I really do.
Thanks! ^ ^
I got 85074 score!
Unsure wtether that is good or not but i seemed to survive a long time.
Very creative art style so why i wasn't sure what i was doing with the number choices i appreciate that and your different power effects.
Nice job!
It is better than my 75908 demo trial! You sure did great until the end of the song, when the demo ends. I am also glad you like the art style! Right or wrong answer, the powers still come but the OP gauge fills or depletes. I noticed that the system and feedback on "correct" answers was not so clear just one day before the jam end, so I totally feel you and hope to improve it in the near future. Thanks!
No prob thanks for explaining it in your reply.
So i did do ok then i hoped so.
Thanks again good luck with your placing as well.
That guy running in the back made me laugh. Lots of attention to details GG
Both me and the guy in the back really appreciate it! <3
nice game , you manage to overpower maths and made the theme in a different way, good job :)
Thanks a lot! :D
I suck at math, but somehow your game made it fun. That’s a win in my book <3
Woah. That is a win in my book too for sure!! ^ ^
Great game. This game is simple and fantastic. I realy love math and i didn't even taught about a game like this. aThe idea is awesome. I realy liked the artstyle and the music was great too, the game matched the theme very well too.
I am happy that you liked the concept and my drawings!
