Good start, but by focusing on a video game, you may be missing a lot of potential! Here are my thoughts: With controllable time and a bit of UI improvements (e.g. sliders) this could be a great tool to visually explain polynomial functions! Additionally it could serve as an explorative teaching tool to show individual influences of coefficient. You may also include (multiple) derivatives and (hidable) movable tangents to show relationships between functions. There are a lot of possibilities to discover. Keep on the good work!

Yeah didn’t have the time to test it on other people, but I realised it later too that the UI was a bit unintuitive. The inputs are draggable but it’s not so obvious, should have probably just used the slider widget.
Ran out of time to make a custom level mode. I also wanted to make a “practice” mode where you don’t have a time limit.
I do plan on maybe working on this a bit in the future to add more visual clues + explanation (like showing the tangent at 0 when changing the coefficient of x). That way it’s more educational.
