so wholesome you made this with your son! i could totally see this being an educational game. not sure how it fits the theme but pretty neat nonetheless. i think the balance could've been better. either slow down the speed growth factor so little kids can have time to think and type, or slow down the speed and make the questions harder so adults can feel challenged but not rushed. lol i can just imagine the local kids raging to this!
reminds me of this flash game i used to play in school called spell n' stack (can't find any vids :( and flash is dead). in this game you use words as logs to get higher. it gets faster overtime but by the time it's overwhelming you're in the sky or in space and have had access to powerups. there's reward to how far you've gone.
i love typing games and miss their prominence. good to see one submitted in a jam for once ;)
Thanks for your feedback ! It slightly fits the theme because the adding challenges are repeated in an infinite loop (until you lose, of course XD), but I agree that it's too subtle to be clear. Also agree that the speed factor is not properly balanced (actually it's just increased by a fixed 5%). We did it in less than 5 hours in two days and I didn't know anything about Godot before so unfortunately we didn't have time for any fine tuning or further improvements. I'm just happy it doesn't crash (at least I didn't see it crashing so far XD)
This is what jam games should be. Just fast 1-5 max minutes. Sometimes I find myself playing 30 min of a jam game. Cool game. Some more complex equations would be cooler, cus now it's targeted towards 1st graders. If you've brought the level up a bit, like still get answers with one digit, but square root of 9, get in some minuses and multiplication. If that was in the game it would've been 10x better.
Thanks so much for playing it!! You're right, it's aimed for 1st graders (my own kid made the graphics and did the beta-testing XD). I like the idea of making more levels with harder operations. That would require changing the input but I think it's doable.
