Really creative game, and most intense math of my life. Very easy to pick up too, albeit my first thought on seeing the statement of a =/= b was "yes, that is in fact true, now what?", rather than thinking I had to make a = b, but I'm probably just dumb.
Also, there seems to be a bug where the ball can escape the trap, I only saw it once, but if you make a post jam version make sure the ball resets it's position in case it goes out of bounds.
Overall, great work on this!
