Honestly, great implementation of tetris, and interesting idea, but the tetris ruleset really breaks down when you can fully brick a row. I strugged managing my field to ensure I could satisfy equations. I really enjoy the idea, but I'm not sure if there's a way to make it work. Great work on the technical side though, it works fantastically
Genuinely one of the coolest concepts I have seen so far. I think what would have made it perfect is a running count of what each block works out to be. I know that would simplify the game a lot but it would also make it play more like Tetris as far as the difficulty goes. Otherwise super cool idea, you should definitely release a polished version on mobile and market it as a math game. Well done. :D
Great idea, and also a very challenging game! I agree with the ideas in the above comments, and I also think having more minus/negative signs in the mix would open up more possible ways to solve the equations.
I was especially excited to find this game because I worked on a tetris+text-adventure hybrid. We encountered some of the same issues with difficulty when using letters blocks to form words.
I'm going to agree with the posters above. Very cool concept but the UI made it difficult to really know what I was doing, and bricking entire lines felt a bit unreasonable.
This game is really interesting, I love the combination of Tetris and math, making it a game where you have to think fast. It was rather hard to get it right from the get go but with enough practice I bet one can play this just as well as regular tetris
The concept of the game is really nice, making a Tetris based math game. But I found very hard to play the game and for me the execution is not working fine. But still a great game made in a short period time :D
This is really hard!
Very cool concept though.
Honestly a bit challenging, but also fun. I did enjoy the concept of the game and with more practice, i could probably learn to play this better. This was a really interesting approach to the theme. Good Job.
I can play Tetris really good and I can calculate yet suck at this game...
But that won't impact my raiting! The game is really good. Pretty convinient that you have 3 hold-spots. And the rotation was pretty useful for turning signs into operators.
Nicely done.
Great concept, I think its too difficult to get rows that are impossible to complete. Maybe if there was a current value counter for each row it would help a bit.
Really like the idea! But +1 to being difficult. I think scaling the range of the values down would help
Such a cool concept, and I enjoyed smashing my head against this brick wall for a little while, but ultimately I'm too dumb/slow for it. I enjoyed the snappy controls and never once felt cheated. The raw text aesthetic worked well with the numeric concept. I yearned for training wheels: a "current total" column showing where I'm at in each row.
A very interesting and well-done experiment, even if I could only scratch the surface. I think my top score was 22.
OK I tried it once more with the music, and while I was fought a little harder at the end I still only scored 14. I did notice though that in button-hammer-dodging at the very end I accidentally insta-skipped my score view... maybe that should be passed with a spacebar?
Man this is tough, but interesting.
Really interesting, I would like to see this expanded. Maybe special items or something to clear lines.
