A fun and interesting arithmetic game. This is much better than the memorisation games I remember encountering.
Difficulty is very random though. In a later round, I was able to just place the target number, whereas the first round required much more work:
The upgrades also make it quite easy.
One minor improvement would be to provide a clear button for attack and defend lines. Could be something you add in later rounds.
Thanks so much for the detailed review. We definitely need to work on difficulty going forward.: I think we will limit specials to 3 and force formulas to be used for all numbers. "R" currently resets the attack and defend rows (but we buried that in our documentation - which also needs an overhaul). Anyway, thanks again for playing and for the great suggestions.
Nice game. As a quality-of-life feature I would suggest that dragging a number back to the top to an invalid slot should automatically move it to a valid slot (say, the first empty valid slot, or the closest valid empty slot). Also, you could have a "clear" button to restart your current turn.
There are a lot of QOL improvements (and suggestions from these comments) that I'm excited to make. We actually have a key to replace all the dice now, "R", but it's buried in our terrible "Operations Manual" - that is the first thing I have to fix. Anyway, thanks for playing and for the suggestions.
Well done! I enjoyed it! :D
Thanks for playing, I'm so glad you liked it.
