Great use of the limitation. I would have liked a way to skip the text, and just see a card that shows the rules for that round.
This was very interesting, I loved the way you took the limitation and came up with something very creatively with it :) from the other games i've played I don't think anyone else took the limitation and used the card values in such a way so great job :)
I'm so glad this game stood out to you, thanks!
Well, turns out there are fun math games! Very fun to play, though pretty difficult towards the end.

Thank you for your feedback! Here's a tip for later on in the game: instead of actually adding up the numbers, identify each one based on its parity (even/odd), then remember that even+even=even, odd+odd=even, and odd+even=odd. Use those properties in conjunction with the numbers you have, and you'll be able to do the math a lot quicker.
I enjoyed this game, I thought it was a cool concept and a good mechanic. It would be nice to have the game explain what the king, queen, ace, and Jack are by something other then a post it note on the side. Additionally, maybe each day you introduce another face card or something like that in order to keep the difficulty going up. Great game overall!
Thanks--I'm glad you liked the concept. I couldn't think of another way to communicate the values of the letter cards to the player; the post-it was the only way that didn't feel awkward, though it is a little out of place.
Neat concept! I'd maybe make an option to either skip the text or click through. But the graphics look good and the gameplay is smooth!
I'll make the typical excuse of having run out of time. I do agree; especially on the third day, the dialogue is really annoying to sit through. Thanks for playing!
The text sound is too much haha, a text-skip would be nice especially if you already passed that text previously (ex. the text before entering day 3).
also I can't see how much K and Q is worth, i already had the game on fullscreen.
overall, its good concept and the addition of the cards, very well randomized and the use of the mechanic.
