Developer

Thank you for playing.

Genius game. I love it. that's how kids will learn and could play a bit.

Developer

Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed it. We also think it could be interesting as an educational game for kids.

This game is great and so fun, the idea is creative! I will absolutely use this with my students in math classes :)

Developer


Thank you! We're glad you liked it. The calculations could be easily customized by adjusting the Excel sheet with the data as needed.
So we believe that with a little extra work, it could be suitable for the little ones :)

As a math teacher I heartily approve of this game! The stress of the incoming zombies had me fumbling a couple of quick maths calculations but that made it really fun :D Great game!

I think the strategy behind shooting and typing the quick answer to the problem and shooting again is a pretty interesting and unique mechanic. Nice job on the game!

Great work, loved the blend of quick typing and it added a lot to the gameplay loop!  

I think some music and more levels would make for a nice release to teach maths.

Super interesting mix-up of math and shooter. Took me a second to figure out how it worked - I probably wouldn't survive that apocalypse lol

Thank god real apocalypse wouldn’t involve math… right? Cool game :D

Oh no quick maths

Fun and interesting take on the theme. Gave me  tux-typing kind of  vibe . Well done ;)

definitely a unique concept for a game. took me a long time to figure out what to do exactly but I figured it out. the art is well done. the sounds really add to the atmosphere of the game. UI is cool and doesnt take up much space of the game and still easy to read. Also felt like zombies weren't really the enemies. IT WAS MATH :D
One thing I encountered that I would like to point out was when I died the zombies feeding on you sound kept playing even after restarting.

Entretenido!

Justo lo que andaba buscando!

Funny enough, this way of shooting is probably a more accurate representation of what aiming feels like in real life then if it was just point-and-click

Order of operations skill issue

Haha! I think we should try this IRL. We'll all be maths genius this way :)

Never before would I think of someone combining zombie survivor with math. Great job with this one!

Developer

Thank you so much! We wanted to create something unique and challenging. Glad you enjoyed it!

Interesting take on math :D

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Good job in finishing your game. It was fun to play, but my typing really relies on autocorrect, so I did poorly on the boss. My only issue were with the zombies coming from the top of the screen. You needed to wait for them to come down further enough to read the math problem.

Developer

Imagine what it was like for me with the boss, considering English isn't my main language. I can't even win my own game.

Yes! I totally agree about the zombies coming from the top. It's something I'd like to improve in the future!

Thank you very much for trying our game

I'm totally incapable of doing quick math, but I still recommend  the game for those that are able. I'm sure you will find it challenging :) Art and sound effects are awesome.
As someone else said in the comments, I think it'd be cool to also use the game for learning purposes. 
Good job!

Developer(+1)

thanks for your comments! in the near future we are planning on doing so!

Math is good for everything, even saving you from a zombie apocalypse. I loved how the game forced me to sharpen my mind by doing quick math, it feels satisfying to be able to get through the zombies' heads by getting the math right. I also loved the sound effects.

Great work!

Developer(+2)

thank´s a lot for your comment, math is even good for sleeping sickness, you start making problems in your head before bedtime and you will get knockout asap haha
