Cute style, using PICO. Fun little quiz concept to boot.
Good job!
A simple yet creative idea well excecuted, good job! It's well polished, I didn't think mental calculation could be fun so congrats on that! I had several times the same questions so it became more a memory game at some point, but I really enjoyed it. Great work!
Very cool. I'm pretty sure actual human calculators exists out there.. A feedback I would give is the button pressing seems to be a lot lower than I though, so I kept pressing the keys above it.
One of the best games I’ve seen from this jam. The idea is brilliant, it is well implemented. and overall high quality. 10/10
Math and games.. fun and creative. Check out our game too!
Nice one ! Not a big fan of mental calculation but the game works very well, congrats !
Such a simple yet enjoyable game! I absolutely love the idea! The fact that the calculator manually types in the questions is hilarious. Small details like the screen shake really boost the overall game feel. Amazing submission!
Clean, beautiful and fun. It's the definition of what educational games should be. Great job on this game!
Woaw, pico8 love it, nice job
Very cute game!! I like how polished it is, it might work as an educational game :) great work!
it's very pretty and feels very good, and i havent done calculations by head in a long time, it was a good refresher!
interesting idea on the role reversal theme! haha and the click and movement of the finger is quite satisfying!
Didn't expect to see educational game here haha...
I seen this kind of gameplay before. (Brain Age, etc.) Also, the hard mode repeated questions the first time I tried it. Nevertheless, this definitely engaged my brain. In fact, there was a moment where I was like having different numbers at the same time to do the math, and I still managed to answer the question even though it felt like I shouldn't have been able to do that. This game would be immensely improved by a leaderboard (even a offline one though online would be superior). Also, this is more of a personal preference, but a mode for stuff relating to the powers of 2's would maybe be satisfying to me since because I dealt with those kinds of numbers before, it could potentially be like having a superpower where here is this hard question and I solve it fairly to very easily and quickly.
I would've loved to have some more sound effects, and I think the jump in difficulty from medium to hard is a bit high, but otherwise I enjoyed this game. As others have said, I could see it being on an educational website to help kids practice their arithmetic. Nice work!
It's a neat game. It could definately become a game that many people can use to practice doing math quickly. Maybe a new game for schools to dive into? I could see the potential in that
controls are surprisingly juicy for what you'd normally think is a pretty dry concept haha. good job on making it satisfying :)
feels really nice to play
I have no idea how you made math juicy but as someone who normally enjoys math quite a bit I'm very impressed! Clever and unique idea made in great way! Good job! :D
(Managed to beat hard on 256 seconds, no idea if that is good or not hahah!)
OMG I LOVE IT SO MUCH <3333
Very clever take on the theme. Simple idea executed very nicely.
