It's so simple there's barely anything to discuss, but it definitely works!! :-) The music makes it fun, I think adding some sound effects for win, loss and the timer could elevate the game even more and make it more immediate to understand than reading. Also the visual design is a bit crude and would benefit from a different font, colors, text animations, layout and background.
Mechanic wise maybe it could be fun to make the calculations harder the higher your streak is!

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it! I actually did implement a system to make the calculations harder but put a hard cap of 21 on all of the numbers as after that I think it gets really unmanageable. I did not make it possible to win or lose in this  game so it is more of a tool than a game, but, in the future, I do want to gamify math by making the equations act like Warioware microgames. Thx for playing =D

Really fun to play, although it hits my weak spot, which is calculating something quickly hahaha, I think the only thing missing is a bigger consequence if you make an incorrect calculation.

Thanks a ton for playing! If you don't mind me asking what do you think a good punishment for this game would be? I want to make a game in the future which will be edutainment based so I want to try to find a way to punish players for wrong answers which is not too harsh and allows you to keep playing but still lets you know you did something wrong without being too discouraging.

The game is really fun. The music is catchy. If I can suggest a few improvements, adding a “Game Over” when you don't find the answer in time, adding levels with different difficulties and making the interface more cheerful would really help to immerse in the game.

Thanks for playing! I was actually thinking about making an updated version of this afterwards with an option for a campaign mode and a customizable endless mode. I appreciate your feedback and have an awesome day! :)
