The controls a super sensitive, but a very interesting idea. Reminds me of those old edu-games.

Never saw anything like it. The controls are sensitive, but I think it is part of the challenge. Well chosen difficulty. Stretching the theme a bit.

Very unique, the controls make it very hard though, the momentum is huge!

Sensitive controls but I understand that they are meant to be like that. Challenging when as you progress and when I realize I cannot do mental arithmetic!

Nice idea, just a little bit too difficult. Rage quit in level 3 ;)

I like it. The controls definitely need tweaking though, I suspect the creator has an incredibly low mouse sensitivity. As I started the game I instantly died; After adjusting sensitivity to barely anything it was playable however!

And I learnt how shitty I am at math under pressure. But it worked just fine. Good game.

me parece muy buena idea. Es muy bueno tambiƩn como juego educativo

Woah, I'm smashing into walls every second. Clumsy old me. Cool idea.

Nice concept. I think I'd rather play this as a puzzle game, where you are given a bunch of number and operators and the goal is to, within a time limit, select some to get a result of 1. I see the appeal though.

I liked the concept a lot, but found it really hard due to how sensitive both the keyboard/mouse are. It would be cool to see other math operators such as parentheses and exponents! Or maybe there were and I wasn't able to get that far... hehe.

Really enjoyed the difficulty, good work!

Cool idea. Edutainment is hard to do. the controls are super diffucult? Why ?

joekinley 2013-12-19 22:17

Gaah those controls are nasty. But the idea is nice. Although it's pretty tough from the third level on. I died more enough because of bumping into walls, but as i got the gist, i just couldn't figure out the solution to the numbers.
Not a numbers guy here. But it was fun while it lasted, and the idea is nice.
Would make a quite interesting android app i assume.

Control was a good idea to make the game more difficult and fun, but when we doing a error in the number no error message, we must wait the end of the timer :(

lukasinho 2013-12-23 01:59

Thank you all for your comments and ratings.

to SoundGuy: I have a few sensitive mouse, but I wanted to have a difficult controls.

to sadiquo: You have more choices to get to the result.
The error message is not needed because if you make a mistake, can you hit the wall and restart the level or press ESC and restart. :)

Nice game, the keyboard control were really only usable for cetain tricks all since the maxspeed was so high. You should probably put a cap on the maxspeed. Nice puzzles and some time attacks is a solid start, try to find more ways to use the mechanic and this could be a really good game.
