That was a fun brain teaser! I thought really hard up until the last one, did the first bunch in like 45 clicks, and then ended with 1337 for the last one haha. I think not having a reset button forced me to think carefully about how to reach each number. good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot :D That was the main idea: not giving the opportunity of reset makes it more intese ;)

A reset would have been nice or a level select. Sounds would have added something nice, also maybe just writing the mathematic function on the button but then I guess the mystery is lost.

Developer

I thought of adding a button reset but it wouldn't be as intense. Every click matters.

Also I didn't want a level select as this is meant to be a story of fixing this complex -yet useless- machine.

Thanks for the comment :)

Didn't have to make them :( I would have liked to give it some retro sounds but I ran of time. 

Thanks for the comment :)

AAAAAHH MATH! A reset would have been really nice while I was learning what the buttons did. A bit too much of a thinker for me, but it is neat to poke at a strange machine like this out of curiosity.

Developer

That was the idea ;)

I pushed the buttons

Developer

Not bad. Still you can make in less clicks ;)

My lower number of clicks was 246 but I think it can be made in less :D Thanks for playing

Good idea! But uh, I did a bad. And I had no idea how to reset. It would have been nice.

I didn't think about it. My fault. Just another lesson learnt :D The button was in the end. The red green square.

A reset button will be nice or I maybe just didn't see it.
