Liked the game man keep it up!
Good game! I liked to play it on Android. Cool CRT monitor effect!
Great! It would be even better with keyboard support. I found clicking the buttons slow with a mouse.
Disperse: Glad you like it! Numpad and Alpha keys were implemented, If you get a chance to play it again and they aren't working, feel free to let me know which browser you are using (unless it's the exe ;) )
you really are a monster, trying to make people play a game about MATHS! lovely soundtrack, nice graphics, my biggest criticisms is that the majority of damage I took came from offscreen enemies that never actually appeared, and that sometimes the sums would overlap each other making it difficult to read. a fun and original entry though, nice work!
Really cool game! Bring it out for iOS ;)
Thanks arhitect404! We'll see about resolving those issues for ya, but yeah, we're the real monsters ;)
Wow doing math under stress was harder than I thought
Great stuff! It's an educational game that doesn't feel terrible! That's rad! :D
Great graphics, sound, animations, juice, effects :)
I played the web version which stretched to full screen, that's an obvious advantage over the mobile format. That probably needs to be addressed, especially since the guy above says you can get damage from those unseen enemies.
Good stuff :)
Smart and polished ! Nice job !
This is a little annoying on a mouse, but the game is very cute. Not being able to gun down the bullets is a little frustrating.
I very much enjoyed this one.
Great game! Thanks for reminding me that I'm a numbskull
fun game, I love math games :)
it's really overwhelming though (although oddly not too difficult since it takes a lot of hits to die and the "panic" button doesn't seem limited in any way).
would have been cool to have health pickups that are subtraction or multiplication problems to add some variety.
Walaber: Thanks! If you make it past a certain score, additional levels appear ;) Perhaps I'll update the score GUI to indicate that?
Amazing game but you made me do maths and now I'm sad.
Hahaha, a fun little game to remind me how bad at math i am ;p
Not bad at all! Only complaint I have is that sometimes the equations were hard to read when they overlapped each other, but you were right on, I felt dumb while playing, good challenge :D
A really polished game. I like the monitor effect. So cool!
Very nice presentation and well polished educational game; I played all the way through the four levels without too much issue except for what seems to be a bug. After about 50,000 to 60,000 points on a level, it would grind to a near halt, where I would only get one jet coming down at a time slowly, while I was being shot by four or five somethings that were offscreen; this was happening even when I killed all the enemies thus far in a wave, and hitting the panic button would always bring the game back to the previous level of panic with all three enemy types. This definitely looks like a game you could polish up and sell on mobile platforms, but this pacing bug will need to be addressed.
Whoa! This is really good! Nice graphics, nice visuals and a pretty clever concept for a game! :)
It offers quite a nice challenge, is totally fun and also pretty much educational! Kids just learning math could easily play this game to have some practice. ;)
Loved it! :3
Cool, it's pretty finished looking and is a nice addition to the math games genre as is. Hey, where's the APK gone? I got it yesterday.
dalbinblue: Major thanks on the review and critique, totally keeping all of that in mind!
yuigoto, bvanschooten: I'm glad you liked the game! Also, I updated the apk link for ya, sorry about that :)
I completed the game! Yay! It said to wait, but then nothing happened. All the same, this is a great game! With music, sound effects, great visuals, and even some polish! I really like it, congratulations!
I disagree!!! Math is the true monster here!!! This game is polished enough for sure. Solid solid entry. Music, graphics, everything. Congrats dude!
Very original game. The music and the graphics are awesome!
Great little educational game! A few minor quibbles: Enemies off the screen were annoying (or helicopters that were on the screen, but the math was off the screen...that was really frustrating to the completionist in me). Also, and I'm not sure how easy a design challenge this would be to overcome and still keep the math relatively simple, in subtraction and division there was a LOT more overlap in the answers. I cleared half the screen more than once with a single answer in those levels. Didn't detract too much, but it made those levels much simpler to complete than they could have been. Despite the minor completes, would definitely give to kids to play (reminded me a lot of the games I used to play during class in elementary school, so +1 for the nostalgia factor). The sound worked really well, also.
This concept is great! Surprisingly fun. I think the only issue is that there are so many possible answers on the screen that you can just pick and choose the easier ones rather than challenging yourself and learning things. Also the subtraction level had a lot of common answers so it blew by super fast compared to the addition level. Some tweaks to the number of numbers (heh) on the screen/balance in general and this would be even better. Nice work!
Controls felt good and there's some good learning to get here too. I wish the difficulty scaled so it could be easier for my young kids. Great job!
