What an innovative game. I remember back in college, we get this kind of quiz as well as converting digit into binary. It was fun.
Awesome game, well done.

Developer

Thanks!

Cool game and very cool idea! I think it is also a cool educational game for a first computer science class.

I did not hear any sounds, eventhough the setting for effects is there. Maybe it simply did not work for me... What I would improve is the feedback which lines are squashed. When I squashed multiple lines I sometimes had the feeling a wrong line (just the one above the last one) was also squashed, but I think it just looked like that as a line a few lines above was squashed.

I had really fun playing it! Congrats to your innovative game!

Developer

Thanks you so much! That's a great feedback. Maybe I'll add a little delay in shifting the lines up when they are squashed.
I am not sure whats going on with the sound effects, I am getting access denied console error for those files :-( seems like I cant modify any files until the voting period ends!

I think you've got a really cool concept here! I just wish there was a difficulty setting so I could play at a slower pace. The moment they start coming I panic and freeze up!

Developer

Thanks! yes I got this feedback a lot. I am thinking of adding it soon.

Cool game! Even after I studied circuit architecture this is one hard for me... Great idea, useful for practicing binary to decimal conversion! Would be nice to automaticaly accept the answer without pressing enter...

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Interesting thought, but since numbers spawn randomly I am not sure how it will play out if you have, lets say  20, 2, 1, 21 appear in the grid, you see 20 first and try to enter it but it hits 2. Now you have to start over again to hit 20. I see it getting bit complicated.

Interesting game, I like the concept although I didn’t see how it relates to the theme.

Developer

Thanks! In a way you are playing against time.

Nice puzzle game. It's fun to play. Take me a few tries to realize that the foul answer didn't reset. Some music and sound effects would be great.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Each foul answer deducts 5 points from your score.  I do have code for sound effect, but for some reason it's throwing access denied errors from my JS code on those files.

Loved this! I got better as I played and could more intuitively work out the numbers. Great for learning your powers of 2 :)

Developer

Thank you!

Developer

Definitely one of the nerdiest games I’ve played so far in this comp! Really enjoyed it though, even if it does get fairly nervewracking haha. I didn’t hear any sound effects, though that may just be my browser, and I found the game was much nicer using number keys instead of clicking the grid. I got up to 247! Great job overall!

thanks for the feedback @cobrajs! Yeah for some reason I couldn't get the sound effects working. I uploaded the sound files but not sure whats going wrong. Maybe it's my code, honestly I didn't get much time today to fix it :-)
