Great game, I like how the enemies before the wall of doom prepared the player for what to expect in the wall, though I was a little caught off guard at the end :)

A shmup fused with quick math questions.. who would have guessed :)
Interesting fusion.
The explosion sound effect made me chuckle too :)
Crashed on exit and wouldnt close. Had to ctrl/alt/delete
Oh god, math.
Surprisingly fun though ;). Also, the walls of doom in this game really instill that feeling of, well, doom. Worthy of their name, they are.
I feel educated!
This has charm. I love how this could pass for one of those shareware games around when I was a kid, both graphically and gameplay-wise... The sound was cute too.
The math questions didn't do much for me as an adult, but I can really see a child being motivated by this to practice these simple calculations. An edutainment title! Good job.
I can't see the ship/player, it's only a black square in front of the stars. I still managed to beat a few equations.
Interesting idea.
(1) I assume kitteh is after Earth's supply of cheezburgers. You lose points for failing to mention this. (well, not really, you just don't get as many points as you would otherwise)
(2) I thought that laser kitteh wanted you to input -8 at first... Would have found it more interesting if he gave you (e.g.) 6 math problems in a row, and if you fail to solve one he shoots lasers at you.
(3) I guess for some people, math really is doom.
I actually felt motivated to finish this one. Nice going! The audio is cute too. (Only... player ship is xbox hueg. all that's missing is the big green x.)
Haha, lazer kitteh! Fun game, I beat lazer kitteh in 3 tries. Satisfying, however it's a mix of math and typing not just math... Maybe the game would work better if you could more easily use the number pad, hmm... Like if you had the up/down controlled with keys on the LH of the keyboard. Nevermind, 'twas fun!
Educational fun!
This has to be my favourite so far. It made me laugh, particularly the sound effects. Plus it's good for my ancient brain to do a bit of maths once in a while. /me stumbles off into the distance reminiscing about log tables.
What a great idea! I really liked this one - I never would have thought that doing maths under pressure could be fun...
Honestly, I think this was a quite brilliant game... :) Thought the idea was awesome!
Auugghh how am I so bad at simple math :(
Funny idea, haha. The music was hilarious.
hehehehe. You should sell this to the Learning Company. I love the sound effects. :)
This actually has a lot of really cool mechanics that it makes me think of outside of the whole math wrapper. It is really neat concept to ponder 'targeted weapons' or almost 'filtered weapons' and the fact that in later levels there is inherent 'hit points' in the fact that certain equations will require various multiple combos of shots to destroy. It tickles the good mechanic loving area of my brain.
The game kept me quite entertained which I wasn't expecting. The music and noises were humorous enough as well. Nice job making a fun math game. :)
