OMG! Congrats on doing this on pico-8. I tried it once and hated it haha. Very polished and love the art!
Yo this is so clever. Also a good teaching mat.
I liked the idea and it could easily become a game for educational purposes (and I don't mean it in a bad way, quite the opposite). I liked the calculator visuals, but I think it would help if the sound for each input was more "button like", because based on the theme it felt out of place. Something that I think that would add to the theme is if the player was seeing the calculator from the inside (even if the numbers weren't mirrored, of course). Good job
Nice game! I love math so this was something that suits me well. Something that I noticed, though, is that you can get repeated questions. I think it would be nice if none of the questions per-test were the same (and I initially thought randomly generated questions would be neat as well).
Would love to be able to give answers using keyboard! Overall good work, though maybe I would suggest switching the button sound effect for something else.
I really liked it since I really like to test my mental maths skills. Well Done!
i hate mental math so this wasn't fun LOL but i like the idea and it looked really cute. i like the feeling of the mouse control being taken away from you when the numbers are being input, feels disorienting in a cool way. I really like the screen shake for button presses :-)
Great game! I noticed a bit of imprecision during clicking but other than that it's a very nice game!
cool idea
A cleaver idea.
So that's how you make maths fun! One thing though: I don't know if it's just my luck, but the questions repeat very often. In my one 10-question run, I had the same question three times.
Very creative! Fun to play! Very educational!
5 stars in all the categories!
My math teacher will be proud. Even though it’s so simple, it feels very well-polished. One part of my brain knows I’m just doing math, but another part of my brain just keeps doing it
Very charming and simple game with great execution
Very fun concept. Thank you for this Dr Kawashima session!
Well executed, fantastic take on the theme! A simple math game with fun lore implications. Great work!
The game's premise perfectly fits the theme, and the game itself is easy to understand. On the easier modes, the game feels slow, but on higher difficulties it gets very exciting. This is a great game to play with friends and compare scores!
Clever for us to be the calculator for the machines! I got 80.5 on easy so I'm not a very good calculator.
Great concept and execution!
Nice and simple, really funny game
