Cool game idea! It took a while to figure out at first, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with all the boxes. When I figured out I had to place them in front of spawners, the game opened up. I can see this game having a lot of room to expand, awesome work!

Really love your art style and machenism, simple but fun!

I like the minimal look and simple animations! I like how simple the the game rules are to explain, but mastering them requires trial and error. I think the enemy creatures are a nice add-on and afree with @missingpixel this game has lots of potential to expand!

Great game :)

Really dig the art style. Graphics are very simple, yet it looks really crisp, thanks to the animations.

Once I figured out, how the game works, I was having fun and beat the game (even though I caused a little traffic jam, oops). The game crashed after the timer ran to 0, but that's okay :smile:

One thing I feel is missing is some explanaition how to play or what the game is about. Doesn't necessarily have to be in-game (can be here as description), but it took me a while and I feel like people less patient than me can stop trying.

Overall great game, fits theme really well. Good job!

I agree with the commentators above, the visual style of the game is very beautiful. I also liked the gameplay, this is quite rare

It's nice to play, very entertaining The graphics, though simple, but beautiful, turned out very well!

The graphics are super cool, the concept really simple yet very effective. It's polished. Nice job.

It lacks a bit of UX, like swapping two modules together, better explanations on directional modules, and having an onboarding in-game. I also encountered a bug that fully froze the game definitely in the WebGL build.

Other than that the goal is explicit and the game well executed.

Love the art style, and the animations and feedback of the boxes and spawning felt really good adding to the fun of the game. The little creatures are super cute. I found it fun to place the blocks like a puzzle to get the higher level creatures. It's also fun to discover new types of blocks. Great work!

Nice cute art and game design. Easy to understand the interesting mechanics because of the good layout and presentation, fun!

The gameplay is addictive, the feeling I got while playing reminded me of 2048, I wanted to see some BIG nubmers and I received the right kind of satisfaction.

docgeraud 2024-10-08 21:48

I love the idea, this is really fun to try new ways of making the biggest number. I think it would be even better if the difficulty and overall pace would ramp-up quicker

I think its enjoyable seeing your block creation spit out tiny creatures with really large numbers! I liked the input/output arrows on the blocks which made it easy to understand how they would work. There was a bug where I could not place blocks and they would not be lined up exactly with the mouse cursor but I could still remove them from the level, which I think resulted from clicking while dragging a block or trying to move it, but I enjoyed the simplicity of the game while I was playing it.

mreliptik 2024-10-08 21:52

The concept is super cool! The placement was a bit bugged on the itch web version. Overall its a solid entry so congrats for that

yoanntsitionis 2024-10-08 22:01

Your game is really cool looking. I like the simplicity of the graphics with all those little effects of juiciness, the concept is really interesting too. Looking ahead for more !

Had a really great time playing this game. Great submission!

shakirovich 2024-10-08 22:43

More intense and active version of plants versus zombies, I like it, goodjob

klaus-peter 2024-10-08 22:53

These numbers do get a bit out of hand but I had a blast :smile: Untitled.png

I really like the game it kinda reminds me a little of "human resource machine".

I think the only real issue I ran into is accidentally placing blocks outside of the playable screen so all my spawners like got stuck behind where things are supposed to be. I also think a fast-forward button would be neat!

icxon 2024-10-09 02:22

The game crushed 3 times, but I got a taste of it. Also it seems `x2^7` works just as `x2^1` so 11 becomes 22 after it.

Here is my second attempt:

You game looks great! It is so juicy and polished! The only problem I have found is that moving the blocks that are already placed sometimes starts bugging out. But good job though!

This was a pretty fun game, I managed to get 5.11M on my playthrough. I will say that the audio is a bit repetetive for how long long it tends to run for a full playthrough, but all in all it was a fun time. The strategy is definitely jsut to chain them all in a time of all additions followed by all multiplications,but it was a fun little game!

Thanks for the great game! It’s super interesting and really engaging—it definitely makes you think! It would help if the equation blocks and arrows were highlighted differently, because when there are a lot of them overlapping, it gets a bit tricky to figure out where the little guys will go after a certain block. I also felt it could use a bit more of a challenge. Love the graphics, and the sound is great and fits perfectly. Awesome job!

bradur 2024-10-22 11:36

The rules were a little difficult to figure out but once it clicked it was quite fun to build a creature factory with big numbers 🤩

amolker 2024-10-25 19:07

I really like the concept of this game. But it seems to be very random. And there is a bug with placing tiles. Also, in late game there is a luck of dinamics, while you just waiting for other But I see a lot of potential here. You can add different modification tiles and other mechanics. Also, good sound and cute graphics! Well done! Screen1.png

kanagg 2024-10-25 21:53

I never figured out how I to extend the play area but maybe I'm just to bad to play long enough :D
