Warning: Be careful before playing this game as you can get a serious heart attack.

But anyway, I had a lot of fun playing it :P what a simple, but wise idea.


Theme:

Oh that's probably my favourite theme idea on this jam by now. Literal, simple, but very well developed and fun.


Visuals:

You can't call it a AAA game, but visuals are very well paired with the climate of the game. 

Actually for the first time, I have no idea what to advice, as I have no idea at all what could fit the style :P Just one simple thing that got me confused was the 'power' sign. I was almost sure that in writing form it's '^', so I didn't really know for several rounds what I was supposed to do, but when I indentified this little dot, I could play further.


Innovation:

Definitely it's innovative. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it would be the type of game that you could work on to publish on steam, but I might be mistaken and if you make me wrong, I will buy it (unless you put a ridiculous price for that xD)


SFX:

Sounds are really good. As for music I really enjoyed it, but it would be good if you worked on blending a bit, so that it loops well. You really got me with speeding up pace on Play, that was amazing!


Gameplay:

It's a lot of fun, even if those equations are very simple, they are really intense xD (I've studied IT, so I had a lot of maths out there and still struggled a bit with this time pressure). I've got stuck on one with X + Y . I'm pretty sure I've solved it well (tried several different possibilities), but I couldnt get to the next one, so I might have missed something. But it was fun nevertheless :P


Great entry, my first impression was rather mediocrate, but you positively surprised me and it's one of the nicest entries I've played. Great Job!

PS: And sorry for so little constructive feedback, I really don't know what to advice for the first time :P

I think it's normal not knowing what to advice, it's pretty far away from the standard idea of a "game". 

For the graphics I tried going for a "drawn on the copybook" kinda vibe, I would have loved to draw and scan all of the assets, but I didn't have the time :(  I managed to put in a photo of my copybook as the background, to sell the idea.

I don't think it's a Steam kind of game, and it isn't meant to be, BUT if I had to find it a spot in the world, it might be a free resource for middle school teachers to teach basic equations with X and Y to students in a "gamey" and interactive kind of way.

I definetly have to improve my musical skills, I promise I'll try blending it nicer next time!

Tell me the one you think you solved, and what were your results, because I might have rushed and not have found all the possibilities! It happened in the past with another level I ended up scrapping, nothing new!

I'm really glad you were positively impressed, I'm shaking! And (as I once read on a YT comment somewhere) thanks for the internet-triggered dopamine! <3

(P.S.: Also I'm from Italy, so maybe we write the "power" in a different manner, I didn't want to just make it a smaller X or an * though)

Ciao! (I'm not Italian, but trying xD)

I really enjoy your idea with free educational resource, it's truly amazing!

As for equation it was something like X + Y - 5 = 6 or sth like that. So I did try several situations: mostly setting Y with the same value as -5 to make them reduce to 0 and then X to 6. So for instance 6 - 5 + 5 = 6

Maybe in Poland we write "power" in a different way too, have no idea :P If you ever want a multicultural version, you can study how this thing is called in other cultures :P and make a choice in a menu, so that people can choose the one they want :P

I'm glad you could have some dopamine from me, it's good to smile a lot in life :)

It should be X =6 and Y = 5 in that level, I think.. I'll replay it, maybe I broke something!

After the jam ends, it could be cool to make a little of a language menu, thanks for the advice!

I hope you have a good day! Ciao!
