This was def a bit of a brain teaser to figure out, but I had a lot of fun doing it! I liked this a lot!

How does your game represent "Power"?
This game is based around the use of Exponents, making it a play on the phrase "To the Power of". For example, 2^5 is said as "2 to the Power of 5"

Loved it! A nice mix of mastermind-style deduction and a refresher of some arithmetic I had almost forgotten. I think it took me maybe 7 or 8 attempts, the first couple I was just clueless as to what I was doing, but that was part of the fun!
A great interpretation of the theme and I like the enigmatic, safe-cracking style. Obviously it is difficult for a new player to get into though
Nice first game, the interface could be made more intuitive.
Welcome to gamedev!
I tried for a while but couldn't work it out, like the visuals and seems like would be interesting, I just have no idea how it works. If you wanna give me an idea in a reply, I'd be happy to give it another go.
Neat little puzzle/educational game!
Took a few tries to understand how things worked, but managed to beat it in the end! The colors and patterns in the last round can get pretty confusing, especially with the timer!
Not sure if intended, but I discovered that each of the numbers 1-5 are always used, so I actually only needed to figure out 4/5 of the values, then the last one is obvious. That also makes it easier since there is only one possible answer for any result (except 1).. for example, if I see red^green = 4, then I know it can’t be 2^2 since red!=green, and thus it has to be 4^1.
Maybe it could be interesting if numbers could be reused, but then I guess we might need more tests..
Cool first entry - keep up the work, I hope you continue submitting to jams!
