Haha, great idea! A great way to get people to do maths, but it might be hard for those unfamiliar with those good old cos and sin functions ^^

Pretty solid game overall. The graphics are nice and cute, the music is good, and you make your brain work. Congrats!

Whoa, this is kinda like those Zachtronics games that makes you think a lot. It's pretty awesome!!

I love it!! I dare not keep playing after a while because I tend to get addicted to games like this.

Is this the way of solving that level? :D lol.png

Definately fun to play around with functions! The graphics are cute, but the music gets a bit repetitive over time.

I found the controls inintuitive at the beginning: Drawing a line from a block to the delete button is not my first idea when trying to remove buttons. But when you are getting used to it, its nice playing around with making the bee fly

Thank you for your comment @Erik Brendel in fact you can use right click to delete an element, and ctrl+drag and drop to copy it. I added those shortcut to the game description. You solution to the final puzzle is totally valid, I put a message from Flappy Bee that say "freedom" because you can solve the level in a lot of ways. The "intended solution" was cos(time*sin(time)) but it's not very obvious.

I dont known how you can do so much in so little time. Well done

Awesome game! The idea was very neat, have not seen a mathematical game yet. The music was ok but it was great that there was some music in a compo game. The art fitted in with the game very well and nothing to criticize, just a very good game!

furiouswitch 2018-05-13 18:25

Great Game! I have no idea how you managed to do all that in the compo time but anyway great job.

I loved the graphics and motion. I think you missed the current theme though or maybe I'm not aware of what exactly are the two genres you combined here. I don't know :)

That was fun! The second last level took me a while, I figured out the main trick and was close to the solution pretty quickly but I think I missed something and ended up with a messy solution in the end.

Great job!

An amazing game. I don't know anything about all those algorithms which we use in game. However with time and increasing my skill, level after level, now I am able to understand how to create this path or another, trying to reach the hive. I play, but I learn too - and it's great!!! Can you imagine how your game could be used in school for teenages? Again you did a solid entry. One of my favorite projects for this 41th Ludumdare event. I am not a big fan of kiddie backgrounds, but it is good enough. Music is quiet. You deserve really more than these few ratings. Thank you for this game. I am happy that finally I played and rated it. You made my day ++

look mum' - I drew a flower :)

Look mum' - I did ... something else :/

really cool game (made for programmers) It's kinda ultra hard though, didn't finish the last one ;(

misterstripey 2018-05-14 13:46

Wow! This game was outstanding. The design and work that went into it are very evident and it is a great play on the theme. This is probably the most well designed game I've played in the jam. Great work. The only suggestions I would have for improvement would be on Sound/Visual effects. Awesome game and thanks so much for sharing!

crimson 2018-05-14 14:05

Awesome game! It's very rare to play a game that's actually educational while being really fun to play around with. The only thing I'd suggest would be maybe an introduction/example of each element for people who are not already familiar with how they work and affect functions. Overall great work!

ididgame 2018-05-14 14:24

what an amazing concept, great job!

2018-05-14 14:31

I really like this game. I felt quite nostalgic about it, because it reminds me early years, when I played educational games on a schools PC.

papaver 2018-05-14 15:57

Wow, great game! I loved playing it and solved all the levels. :) Well done!

I would have loved to have played an edutainment game like this when I was a kid! I think it's a great way to bring the concept of graphs and such into game form. My only complaint would bee (haha) the music: For a game like this, I would imagine it should be happy and inquisitive, and this felt too somber and morose.

If you take it further (which I think you should), can I offer some advice? Add a help function at gives hints with progressively more information. Like, the first hint would be an obtuse hint on how to solve the problem ("What happens if you put a cosine inside another cosine?"), the second would draw out a pre-tested path, then the third and last one would provide the basic structure but without any of the values, like _*cos(cos[_]*_).

Look mum' - I drew a pumpkin :)

Seriously this one is really disturbing because it runs without any break. Perfect algoritme ++

Look mum' - I drew a snail :)

great educational game!! I've always loved to draw with maths :D

How to solve problems if I don't even have anyone to consult with? I used to communicate with one guy, and we solved problems together, often competing to see who was faster. But now he has moved to another city, and I can't ask him for advice like before. And to be honest, I miss communication on such topics. Do you know any communities that communicate exclusively on the topics of mathematics or technical areas?

Good evening. I know OhhAskMe is just what you need, the math solution center. It works like this: you write your question, and students answer it. This is a great way to get advice, make acquaintances and solve complex problems together. I advise you to look here https://ohhaskme.com/9604/expected-litres-petrol-really-appreciate-someone-helped-really for a good example of a question and answers to it.

Flokky23fg, Rumor has it that Google can help.

That is how I should have learned math at school! Nice project, I like it. Classes don't always seem to be important at school and college, you know. A lot of times I just used [https://edubirdie.com/write-my-essay-for-me](https://edubirdie.com/write-my-essay-for-me) and asked to write my essay for me. I haven't looked for educational games, tools, apps, or blogs. I don't want to make complaint, but it is much easier now for sure. The perfect time to study. Use your chance, students.
