Very cool Balatro-like challenging concept! I feel you get what's scale means when the Jam theme comes out.

I'm absolutely coming back to this once I've got through some more of the entries, this is so good! Made it to stage 12 so far but I'm convinced I can beat this with the right powerup build and a bit of luck/practice
The powerup system is really, really good, and if you roll well it felt like it was possible to get a build that would cover a good range of possible number combinations. I found myself gravitating towards powerups that would let me get an OK modifier but maximise my ability to generate rerolls - options like the square number powerup where I could preface the number with a 0, or the "first two numbers of the target" so I could use up a random number at the end. Don't know if that was an optimal strategy, looking forward to trying more!
Not sure if this was a bug or intended behaviour, but when I had a number that would satisfy multiple powerup conditions it didn't seem to apply both? In the screenshot below I've got a number that matches the first two digits and is square (not game breaking for me by any stretch - I really enjoyed this - just wanted to check though)
hi! so glad you enjoyed it :) yes, it is intentional that only one power-up triggers at a time, for balance reasons. i want to make a version where power-ups stack, but it would require me to re-scale and re-tune all the numbers.
a hint for strategy: you only get 2 extra moves per level, and each level multiplies the score by 11, so to be “sustainable” you either need more extra moves or a way to score more than 11x in 2-3 moves. just going 2x every move usually isn’t quite enough~
thanks for playing! if there’s enough interest, i’d love to turn this into a full game :DD
