Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • The game felt really good to play! The game is a good sit down and enjoy for a time, just wish there were more puzzles. While it seems very simple the complex nature really gave way to a fun game. The choice of assets fit together very well. It would have been nice to see the thought process of them in your GDD, more info never hurts and it shows trains of thoughts for choices! Just adding everything on the Game Page to the GDD is good to have. Using a GDD as a journal or progress for yourself is a great way to utilize it as a tool to help you with your game planning. Overall this has a lot of potential to be use in other game and helps with mini game design aspects as well as strong enough to stand on it's own if you decide to create more levels.

The 6 and 9 one was a real headscratcher but a good puzzle for sure. Good job!!

Very addictive, the twist that 4 means death is a nice touch. Great visual style as well

I haven't been able to beat level 8 yet, but I'm having a lot of fun with this sokoban! I love sokobans in general, and the premise of this one is really fun and interesting :). I also love that this is secretly an introduction to modular arithmetic, lol.

Three hints for level 8 would be:

  1. use one 6/9 as an operand, and the other to get 0
  2. fully utilise the feature of 0
  3. the final evaluation happens at the right bottom corner

There are totally 9 levels, I would like to give any help if you want to solve the rest but encounter some confusing design!

I was able to beat level 8, although I'm not sure whether it's an alternate solution. I was able to complete it without using SUC. Again, thanks for the game, it was fun!

In this case, I believe you found a solution out of my plan.

Thanks very much for this feedback, I will check it and refine the level later!

I can't wait to try more it took me a solid 10 minutes to figure out the 1st level. Really cool art and design.

I like it! Reminds me of "Baba Is You". Fun feature with specific numbers abilities.

Some things that bothered me:

  • Can't put several numbers together to make it act like something greater than 9.
  • The fact that numbers don't go negative but cycle within ten natural numbers is understable, but not scientifical)

I used the idea of looping or modulo in the game, the evaluated results are mod by 10, that's why we cannot get numbers greater than 9 and we can negatively go through the digits. I thought it's a way to expand the depth of the puzzle.

I love little math games, and this was fantastic! I think the only thing better would be to have to solve with only a single 1 value left rather than any number of ones. I actually was trying to do that with double-digit math, but that didn't work haha.

The only one one would be a great puzzle game, good luck if you will try this in the future, I would like to give it a shot!

Instead of dealing with double-digit number, I use the idea of looping or mod, which I believe is also quite interesting.
