Fun little puzzler. I really enjoyed and appreciated the level of polish you put into the animations and sounds. Great job!

Submitted

Mathematical! I was terrified at the start and thought if I reached the box limit I would lose. It turns out that is not the case.  Effects and explosions are fun and the music provides a relaxing atmosphere. Great Work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :) I never thought about the limit like that, but now that you mention it, I see how you can read it that way.

A very great mathematical game, the sounds when the blocks explode are great. Good game.

Nice job, I enjoyed this sort of puzzle, very fun! With a bit more polish on the UI I think you have a solid game here!

Submitted

I like these kind of games and yours was really well made, good job!

I'd maybe make the object generation user-controlled instead of random to test the scales however the user wants, but good experience overall! 😄

That’s a really good point!

I think I’m getting some ideas of how to solve that

Thanks for the feedback :)

easy to get into and pretty fun, nice!

Nice little game. Animations and sound were very satisfying. I did not understand we had to press the check buttons first.  My first run my first  cube was 1 so it was pretty easy but could not get that lucky on my second one.


A sudoku like marking system will be great for this game.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :) That’s a really good suggestion, and I think I’ll add something sudoku-like marking, as you’re not the first to point out this flaw :D

nice game. only if we can have some way of remembering the values. 

Developer

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but if you put the values into the UI at the top (and hit enter), they should be printed on the cubes.

Or do you mean the values that you have already tried? Maybe I could display a warning if you’re about to retry a wrong answer

Nice idea!

Keep up the good work!

Easy to play game though it took me longer to complete than I thought.
Getting "lucky" on the start should help because the more weights you unlock the easier it gets to finding the rest.

Great job !

Pretty fun game, loved the idea! I wish I could complete it, but I can't tell apart the yellow from the green, or the cyan from the white. For me, those pairs of colors looks exactly the same. A colorblind mode would be awesome hahaha

Developer

Thanks for letting me know!

I’ve tweaked the colors, so I hope they’re better now :)

Very fun game, you looked upon the theme in a pretty unique manner. Keep it up!

very fun and very simple. I like how the number randomize each time so its always a different game.  First unknown cube is definitely the hardest depending on what your starting number is.  Great use of theme!

Submitted

I liked it, simple but well executed, great work!
