Cool idea! However, I didnt really create equations but used numbers only as it seemed easier
I like puzzle games but I think the puzzles need a little more refinement. The first time I played, I just got minus and division so I couldn't make any big numbers. But then I realized I could concatenate numbers and then I just used that to make huge numbers. I really like the spinning animation / audio. I think it's the most satisfying wheel spinning out of any game I played so far
Thank you for the feedback, we'll make sure to make this game better.
I'm not sure I play the game as you want me to.
I just had plenty of numbers, equation wasn't even really needed, I just write numbers close enough to the target with all the numbers I had. After round 3 I didn't use a single operator. I guess it all comes to balance in this case and here I could abuse the game. Also like a lot of spinning wheel game this jam, it's just too long to spin a wheel 10+ times per round.
But there is definitely something with this idea though.
I think with more balancing and faster pace, the game could be fun though.
But I can see it can be hard to find the right spot.
Great job on submitting a game though it's still very cool!
Thank you for playing the game and thanks for the feedback. I agree with all the points mentioned, and the concatinating numbers was an oversight on my part, you're not supposed to be able to do that or at least not at first. But yeah, balance is really lacking but it's hard to find the perfect spot because of the huge difference between + and *. We are still thinking if we should turn this into a full release :D
I understand, and it's hard to find the right balance in such a short time.
Good luck for the future if you got for it !
Fun idea but the balancing is sadly way off. the operator wheel in general is pointless; the strongest operation is just adding another digit to a number. Yes, even multiplication is weaker than the humble concatenation, as just adding another digit usually acts as -at least- "multiply by 10 but it only takes up one equation slot". I do wonder what you could otherwise cook up with this though, given a set of different operators and faster ramping target numbers
Yes we noticed that too. We do have more ideas in the shelf that did not make in to the jam version. Looking into making a full release and expanding on this idea. We also do have new mechanics/upgrades/limitations for balancing. Thanks for your feedback!
How dare you make me do math!
Not my type of games, but overall good idea, agree with Last Dealer. restart is needed
I wish there was a option to restart the game within the game rather than having to goto the browser. But still, I really like this game.
