Hello!! Thank you so much for playing our game, we really appreciate it :) We worked really hard on the art, design, and atmosphere, so your words mean a lot to us. Thank you so much!! Yup, we have been working on bug testing and we caught that issue as well - we plan to fix it before voting is over, and re upload it once voting is complete., perhaps sometime next week. I also like the idea of the panels being button controlled, and that the button you are supposed to click on being activated when you approach each table - I'll discuss with David and see what we can do. Thank you again for your kind comment!

I LOVED the story behind this one!! When I was a kid I wanted to be a spy, so the theme was very nostalgic to me, kind of reminded me of shows like Cyberchase. I liked the mechanics as well - but perhaps it would be a good idea to also have a tutorial section for the project. Great work! 

This was lots of fun to play! I would recommend adding a section about how fun this game is to play with a friend or multiple friends!

Something I loved about your game is the style of dealing and drawing playing cards could make this game an awesome option for an online/ paper-based TTRPG endeavors in schools and universities.

I love that there are options for users to choose from, so they really have to strategize and decide how much they want to use when attacking each enemy. We also loved the pixel style of the game. Great job!

Hello! Your game was very fun, and I liked the mechanics of the calculator. I also liked that the setting this game takes place in is a realistic scenario, which means that the players of this game could apply these skills in real world environments! Great job, and I'm excited to see how your game will improve over time!

This was one of our favorites! The art style is amazing, and we loved the the smoothness in the movement and the style for the characters. This is a great demo, and we are looking forward to seeing more levels from this game!

This was a lot of fun!! I really like the theme and designs, especially that the characters are slimes. Looking forward to seeing how you add to this game in the future!

This game was fun and very satisfying! I liked the controls and the movement, as well as the sound effects, very calming and relaxing. I also like the contrast in color with each block - my partner is colorblind and its one of the first things they noticed when we played it. Great job!

Hi Alyssa! This was sooo much of fun - I love that the substitute teacher looked like Einstein, and the way the puzzles were structured and how each of the clues fit together. I could see some of my former students loving this game a lot, as they were interested in puzzles and mystery and true crime. Great work!

Hi! Sorry for the late comment! This game was wonderful - I haven't played many factory games in the past, but this game was a lot of fun! My partner played this game with me - we loved the problem solving aspect, and that it was goal oriented - it could be a great way to teach students about programming logic in conjunction with arithmatic. Great work!

Hello!! This art style is so, so good! I like how simple, accessible and minimalist the environment is, but it promotes the combination of arithmetic operators really well! Something that might be cool to add on in the future are animations or hints - it took me while to understand how to use the interface, but once I got it I was hooked!

Hi!! I loved the art and the aesthetic of the cats, and the concept of breaking down Math problems into multiples of 5 to make it easier and faster to solve a Math problem! I could totally see this game on coolmathgames.com and I would have loved it. Great job!!

Hi!! Thanks so much for your time and kind reply, we really appreciate it! We spent a lot of time deciding how the environment was going to look, and we are so happy it paid off! We hope to add more levels where we would look to add more intricate storylines, division, multiplication and fractions, etc. 

Thank you so much for your support! We spent a lot of time iterating on the look and feel for the game, and we are happy it's a relaxing experience

Hi Alyssa! Sorry for the late reply, and thanks so much for your message! It means a lot to receive feedback from a teacher who works with this age group - Anjali and David both have worked as CS curriculum developers and educators with different age groups, so your advice will help us make this game better! As we improve this game and add more levels to the game over time, something we hope to do is user test or playtest the game with teachers and students to make the game better. It was our first time using this framework, so hopefully we can incorporate other frameworks (like UDL) as the game expands. Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate you!

Hello! My apologies for the late reply, and thanks for your kind message! We totally agree - something Anjal hopes to do after judging is over is make sure the game is as accessible as possible - there are some standards online that apply to accessibility in games, and we're hoping through a combination of research and user testing that it will be possible to make this game the best that it can be. Thank you for your belief in our project, we're excited to improve the little community we have created :)

- Anjali, Artist

You did a great job for your first game!! The mechanics and logic were smooth and challenging - you have a knack for pixel games styles, awesome work and keep it up!
