I didn't know my math was this weak! Those poor kids! I found the game really fun! I wish the numbers were a bit bigger and fatter though, i had a hard time seeing the symbols and letters at times. (Stressful when a zombie is chewing on that kids head! :D) Good job! I enjoyed it! ^^

wow
good game, i would call it a bad game but it was totally cause of my terrible math skills. i loved the game and idea, maybe a consistent font would have been better? im not good at this feed back thing sorry XP
Thank you @Yrsela @fokof and @PandaCultist for trying my game. Yes, I definitely should have used a more visible font, at least for the math box. If your math skills are bad, (just like mine ^^), you can change the waiting time of each operation and the zombie velocity in the second screen, values used for easy, medium and hard levels are just arbitrary presets.

Really cool concept, pretty efficient way to motivate kids to learn math! I like the overall ambiance, artwork & gameplay, the font used could be a bit more readable. Solid entry overally, very fun & good mood, keep up the good work :thumbsup:

That's a great idea for an educational game! Nowadays every game of that kind is really boring and children hate them - however, yours is nice! Just by polishing it a little bit you could made an incredible game!
Thank you very much @nidup and @Lacre!
Those comments make me really happy. Having something to post was a first satisfaction, and knowing people play an like my game makes it greater!
Cool. Thanks for rating our game too :) I liked yours. Did not realise at first that I needed to click on zombie to get the equation. Overall a cool little entry and I like the fact that it can teach kids something while having fun. Well done.

Really smart. I like those kinds of games where the mechanism keeps you on the edge and every mistake builds up the pressure. The sound fits well this zombie math-o-calypse. I think that you could even expand this idea further with more levels and perhaps with little story, anyway I enjoyed this one a lot and will definitely get back to it again. Good job ;)
Thank you for having played the game @jcwelgemoed ! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I have just updated the page to take in account the feedbacks: I have changed the font for the math box so it is more readable. The original version can still be found for comparison.
I am having fun playing games, I hope you all have fun too!
A rather simple game in concept, but it gets the job done, for sure! My experience was a TAD buggy, though.... Not sure if that's because of my potato laptop, though. At one point, I couldn't type the answer, even after clicking on different targets and on the typing spot with my mouse. On the start of one of the levels, a zombie spawned with 0+0, and the answer was already filled in for me (0), but I couldn't hit enter.
Either way, I wouldn't want to study in that school. I'd rather take my chances with the zombies. Well done~
Thank you for the feedback!
I will try to reproduce this error, understanding why you got a pre-filled answer and lose control over the LineEdit...
And I clearly should remove zeros values from the random lists for any operation, this is not really interesting.
Thank you!
The simplistic graphics really help to see this experience, with mistakes hilariously punished, but never frustratingly so. Really enjoyed this.

Very well done overall. Everything works pretty well and is decently polished. Doing every part of a game is always impressive.

This is a very cool game! Makes math fun as well :-)
I love the comic graphics. Especially the details like the one girl and the teacher being behind barbed wire. Cool zombies and animations as well.
The minus symbol in your font is still a little thin, the rest is good now (I read that you updated it already).
The sound is cool, very arcady and a good fit.
The difficulty might even be higher, on random and hard I managed to win the first time with only two losses :-)
Overall a very cool game, good work, I will be sure to follow you to see what you have to offer in the next LDs :-)
Thanks for your nice comment @gonutz ! If you want more difficulty you can still speed up the zombies and let you less time for each operation, I picked the values for Easy/Medium/Hard based on my family results but this is not an universal reference!
I really hope I will participate to other LDs and that this will be as great as this first one. Will be glad to see you then!

With some refining this could be a great education game for young children. There were a few technical glitches with the numbers, but overall this is a great concept. Everything besides the graphics works really well!
Ahaha ! Graphics are like South Parc ! It's so cool ! I love idea !

"Thanks to the creators. I recommended the game to my son. Why not make different levels of difficulty? everything is super, except this. Give the child the opportunity to develop, move from level to level, and somehow learn faster and faster! I can advise everyone to teach children interactively, on games, films, various training services, let them from childhood become accustomed to technology and the Internet, in adult life this will help them out! For example, when my child encounters a problem, I explain that you need to use en.wikipedia.org, www.mathpapa.com/, or even https://writercheap.com/blog/narrative_essay_topics for certain cases, for example. Why sit with incomprehensible questions for whole days, if you can get a sample, how to do it correctly, for ... an hour!"

Educational games are the most ideal approach to make students to learn . The students check out these amusements as well as causes them to comprehend the application by utilizing different methodologies. It makes the instructors progressively viable and fascinating.

When I was in college, there were always problems with writing scientific texts or other types of written works. Fortunately, there are now a lot of services, for example for me [best essay writing service], which allow you to easily order the type of task you need and complete it without spending a lot of time and energy. I ordered this writing service analytical essay on the topic of behavioral economics.

I liked this game very much and it was very helpful for kids. Most of the kids are very weak in maths from the beginning and this type of game creates more interest in kids. This is a great motivation to enhance a child's knowledge.

Sometimes I also resort to https://expertpaperwriter.com/ for help when I get either very complicated tasks or a lot of work at work. I would shake the hand of the person who has invented such services at all, very much help.

I can also give recommendations on footnotes, or rather how to do them, so as not to make a mistake. In fact, there is nothing complicated here, you just need to contact the professionals on this case. For example, I can say that now you need to be able to make good footnotes, especially if you write any serious work, otherwise you can fly away for plagiarism. So I hope that I can help and suggest that you can read about the [McGill Guide for Legal Citation Examples](https://justbuyessay.com/blog/mcgill-guide) here and I think that this will actually be useful for everyone. In addition, it can help even ordinary students before they give up their work. I hope it did.

Unforeseen circumstances COVID-19 brings new expectations to schools, teachers, parents and students. It has shed light on our education system and unfortunately exposed material problems. From different access to opportunities, inconsistencies in curriculum teaching and diverse curricula, to the present, if schools and the technological community have time to work together to solve modern educational problems, it is now. By helping teachers improve the classroom, once a [ESA Certification Online](https://www.getyourpetcertified.org/) said that we have the opportunity to rethink education.
