Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous and shown in a random order.

  • Super ambitious game! The biggest feedback items I have are that I think the user experience would be a lot better if enter didn't need to be hit multiple times for each interaction, and I think there would be more value to the questions if they used smaller numbers in the problems that are more reasonable for people to solve in their heads.
  • Super ambitious entry! You've obviously put a ton of effort in, and have really nailed the RPG vibe. I would have liked to see a little more feedback when interacting with things - it took me a while to figure out that I needed to interact with NPCs / chests twice. Perhaps a next button on the dialogue would have been a more intuitive choice. The controls would have felt waaay nicer it could have been implemented without scrolling the screen. Some of the questions (for instance 825 x 4 etc) felt a little out of place and more suited for a calculator than a math quiz. I loved the attention to detail with small things, like the little jokes in the dialogue (particularly the forest) and being able to select your sprite. Excellent entry, well done.

Great stuff, I loved the writing and really enjoyed playing this! More than a couple of times, I was tempted to grab my phone's calculator to add some of those 3 digit numbers... I've become so weak lol

This is really fun! I like that you made an adventure game out of this. The dialogue and characters was fantastic.

I really had fun playing through this. Especially loved the number puzzles in the library and the overall retro aesthetic. Lots of fun math puns too. Great job overall!

i really liked characters hopping on screen and interacting aspect of it very much, but unfortunately i couldn't find any any math challenges, but i'm sure others will, well done, congrats :)
