It\'s pretty hard to get a valid expression done.

It\'s pretty hard to get a valid expression done.
Math? In my computer game? Works fairly well, though.
I quickly ran out of equals signs. Its a nice idea though and the tetris implementation is perfect
The concept here is just too vague and messy to really do anything with. The combination of trying to fit in the pieces, along with hoping to get the exact numbers and symbols you need, along with being able to read the math in this messy way ("1++ 3+5 =9+7=" is correct... I think! Who can know that offhand?), makes for just really unplayable mush. It's not that this is badly made or looks bad or plays bad controlswise, it's just that the concept doesn't work!
i really hate falling-block puzzle games, and combining them with something else i have to think about is sadistic. good idea, but it's just too hard.
Controls felt good, but Im not much for math in tetris
I think this is a great idea but it needs some improvements. It's kind of fun, but not very fun.
I mostly just lined up numbers making x=x equations, and that seemed enough to make it most of the time.
Some kind of scoring/combo system might have helped, and perhaps actual removal of tower pieces and falldown stuff.
I like the idea, but the same type of equations aren't always detected consistently: something worked on the left side of the tower but not on the right for some reason. It would need work to make the concept really work.
Interesting idea, though I didn't really enjoy math-tetris. I had a little fun playing it at first but it got boring after a while. Very innovative though.
No sound ? Very innovative. If I could give a 10 for innovation here I would. The ugly owl graphic was funny, but lost points for graphic quality. Maybe some funny sounds and some wise cracks in speech bubbles from the owl would add to the 'fun factor'. Really smart idea for a game though. You should improve it, polish it, and get it put on the OLPC XO laptop ....
The game idea is awesome (it's an educational game that I actually enjoyed playing, who knew?).
Graphics are okay, although I'd have preferred black text on white or bright gray; easier to read that way.
Gameplay is good fun for a while.
It accepts stuff like 7 + 1 = 1, though. Shame :/
Also, I have to press escape to terminate the application - I can't just close it in a normal manner.
