This was much intense than i was expecting 😅I kinda expected to play around with it for a couple of mins but ended up getting a bit too into it and genuinly feeling the pressure when i only had one heart left!
You really polished so many parts, everything feels polished and well implemented from the animated menu to the little adrenaline rush animations that play when you are sucesfull! You even gave the calculator buttons a really satisfying clunk when you use the buttons.
I really wasnt expecting to be able to customise a gladiator in a Maths game but that was a fun way to start, and i loved the silly puns and trash talk from the competitors.
Everything seemed to work really well on my play through, though if im honest there were many times i thought it didnt. I was practically yelling at the screen when it didnt accept an answer.... only to realise I did not do the order of operators correctly! I love that you added multiple difficulties but am too scared to try the max one.... the mid one was enough of a brain stretch for me.
I saw in another comment you mentioned how you would expand it and i really love the idea of having something between the rounds, if only just for a breather. Definitly excited to see where this goes.
Great job, excellent execution and insane amounts of feel good polish! nicely done!
