Great game, loved the stream. Follows both of its themes very well, and also has a _sound_ sense of humor. I hope to see a following iteration of this game with more arithmetic saviours.

This game was great fun to play. I love how you combined abstract mathematical thought and fast-paced action. Doing maths actually becomes quite hard when there are so many sevens coming at you.
Great concept, really fits the theme. I love the idea of a classic dad joke being evolved into a horror game.
As soon as I saw the name I had to play this. Nice graphics and concept is fun, never realised how hard arithmetic is when your trying not to be eaten.
I didn't realize how hard it would be to do mental arithmetic while running for my life! This was a fun concept and you nailed the aesthetics. Nice work.
Excellent game. My six year old son really enjoyed it as well, though he had trouble with the WASD setup (arrow keys would've been better for him; maybe consider adding that as an option?). Also, I enjoyed watching your stream on Twitch when I was able to catch it.
Well done!
This nailed it on every level. A hidden gem with a gr8 pun and it is totally gonna give me nightmares...
Really liked the concept of this game. You definitely managed to capture a dark atmosphere whilst retaining the humour that comes with numbers eating each other! Gameplay works really well, bug free. My only thoughts are that the green numbers sometimes run into you but this isn't really a problem as you don't have to get the specific answer but an answer that's over or equal to the answer.
Overall really good, man! good work
This is a very well done game in most aspects. Just the fact that you put time into making a in-game tutorial just shows the level of polish of this entry. I think "horror" is the weakest part of the game since urgency is not necessarily horror, but the overall execution is pretty solid.
Good job.
Chills ran down my spine. My hair stood on end. My nails instinctively found my mouth and my stomach turned. I watched in horror as my best friend, Eight, was eaten alive right before my widened eyes. I turned and began to run, knowing in the back of my head I had to find more friends that equaled 16 or my fate would be sealed. For some reason...
This was a blast. But I can't math very well. I just collect 1's the whole time until I win. ;)
Awesome game!
Solid game. It could easily be used for an educational game pack along with some other games similar to this. Well maybe not, cause blood :P I could get 33 in the end btw.
Really, really good entry.
Really great game ! I was immediately drawn in by the art, and the sound design definitely adds a lot to the whole experience. The tutorial is really well made, and explains immediately the simple yet fun mechanic. One possible upgrade would be to add powerups and to add the ability for other numbers to get feral, but these would only be the cherry on the top of an already delicious cake made in only 48h !
You know what? This was genuinely creepy. The screen flicker, the cries and screams of the numbers as they're chased and eaten, seeing their bloodied corpses scattered around... yikes. I love, as well, how the heartbeat sound in the background becomes more frantic as the 7s get closer to you, and slows down again as you pull away from them.
I'm good at math, so for me, the struggle came from trying to find a specific number without accidentally running into a different number (or, god forbid, a 7). Took me a minute to realise that you can collect more than two numbers, but that's probably the only gripe I have with the game. Very well done!
The numbers have funny eyes. [Elastic man](https://elasticman.co)
