A fellow math teacher :) Very fun game took me a bit to understand it but it was very fun

Developer

Nice to hear from a pro! Thank you

me too stupid for get ending. but seriously this game is really good. i like the puzzles. you somehow made math fun. wonderful game. bellissimo.

This game is too big brain for me. Seems really high quality tho!

That ending got me real good, ngl! Did not really understand the fibonacci level, I kinda completed it by accident. Amazing novel idea, pretty challenging puzzles. The browser build gets pretty laggy at times, and the display was not pixel perfect aligned on my machine so the numbers and letters were hard to read. Nevertheless, a real gem and one of my favorites from this jam!

Developer

Wow, you really finished it, congrats! Yeah, that was a big mistake to not check on windows before submitting. (and also should've used bitmap fonts for everything)

Definitely the most original Math-interpretation of the theme I've seen so far. Very fun and a good challenge.

Submitted(+1)

This is amazing, one of the most original takes on the theme and a wonderful puzzle game! Very clever use of the mechanics in neatly designed levels. The quasi Pico-8 aesthetic is serviceable and it allows for itchy glitchy shenanigans that come with the story. Well done, one of my favorites!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Your game is a very good puzzler ;)

I gave up at level 12, pretty impressive I would say.

The “story” addition is really a surprise and is a nice addition.

Developer

Nice! You seem like a winner so far

Submitted(+1)

Clever concept. I smiled once I saw the number move for the first time
It was a bit difficult to "predict" what was going to happen, but I had fun nonetheless!

Submitted

What an novel idea to make a game about!

Developer

We get our ideas from cosmos ;)

When I read the power theme I definitely was reminded of the mathematical power, but it seemed so difficult to try to make a game around it. So seriously props to you for coming up with an idea that fits that definition. I will say though that I don't think I'm smart enough to understand the game xD I felt like I was just hitting buttons, but that is totally not on you. The game was great. I got to level 11, and the mechanics you were adding and expanding upon to make the game more interesting were nice. Never a dull moment or repetitiveness. Your flow to ramp up the difficulty was perfect across levels. I could totally see way more cool mechanics being added if you decided to continue working on the project after the jam. Again really good job!

Developer

Thank you! 11 level - it's not too bad ;) Yeah, I have some mechanics that were not included in the game

Submitted (1 edit) (+1)

This is a realy intresting way to look at the theme. Artsyle and the theme reminded me "Baba is you" and I love that game. But I am not so smart so I couldn't completed it (like I couldn't completed Baba is you). 

Submitted

this is really great! a really unique puzzle mechanic, great level design, and i also dig the mysterious setting. you really feel how out of control the exponential calculations can get when you just blast like ten digits out of a wall.

also nice to see another submission that interpreted "power" like "exponents!"

Developer

I'm glad you like it! Will check your entry later!

Submitted

I like this unique idea of yours! Tho my brain was on idle mode while playing so I didnt really do any mental counting  except just pressing the buttons hahahahaha. But i still enjoy playing it nevertheless XD

Developer

Understandable! :)

Submitted(+1)

extremely cool puzzle game. it's pretty hard - i got stuck at level 8, but this is such a fun and simple idea.

Developer

Thanks you! It's hard to balance such games

Submitted(+1)

i actually went back and tried again and got to 11, and i hope you take that as a compliment for how badly i wanted to finish the game haha.

Developer

Haha, nice

Submitted(+1)

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to de-rust my mental math abilities!

Developer(+1)

Haha, don't mention it

Submitted(+1)

Really cool idea! The levels felt a bit like trial and error later on, though the 'a-ha' moment of understanding the mechanics was great!

Developer

Merci! There is logic between each level, but it needs time too see.   

Submitted

Extremely clever idea for a puzzle game. The simple levels were very engaging and fun!

I wish the puzzles focused more on the addition and multiplication, though. Once I started using ^2 the numbers became so big that I couldnt do the math in my head. So I was just figuring out which sequence of buttons I had to hit through trial and error rather than engaging with the puzzle.

Great job! Great presentation!

Developer

Thank you very much! Big numbers also follow the math, e.g.  when you do x2 there is a rotation of the last digit between 2,4,6 and 8

Submitted

I meant for ^2, mostly. If I have 2642, for instance, I dont know how many digits I will have when I use the ^2 button.

Fair enough, I think If I add 'undo' it would make life easier.

nice artwork on this one! good job

Submitted

Very well done, looks like one of those games that could convince a math teacher to let you play in class

Developer

I hope it will! Thank you 

Submitted(+1)

love the game! i've been on a tile based puzzle click recently and this was a delight! might come back to finish it after rating other games

Developer

Thank you, sounds great!
