Pretty neat, the narration is fun but some of it gets covered up by the cracks. What's the deal with the heart that shows up later? I click on it and it seems to increase the points.

Nice game! Loved the concept and narrative. One feedback would be to probably make the crack a bit transparent, hard enough for the player to see the question but not outright impossible to see.

Other than that great game and looking forward to more!

Loved the simplicity and how intuitive your game is. The narrative is fun and light, and the difficult curve feels nice and quite unexpected. That first screen crack scared me ahah.
I only have to point out that it is a bit hard to understand the numbers without going into fullscreen.
Great job and keep it up!

Great concept, and great execution. The game is fun to play and I like the unique way you increase the difficulty by cracking the screen to hide the buttons and even adding in minigames to play. There's even a backstory and narrative to follow along. This is a great example of a simple idea expanded upon and executed well. One thing, pressing 0 to start the next level stopped working for me around 3 levels in, luckily after the dialogue where he tells you that you can use your keyboard. I could only go to the next level by pressing 0 twice on the physical keyboard.

Pretty fun game overall, simple concept and quite easy. Though when I refreshed the game after a short net error, the position of the crack went from leftmost to center (see attached image). I don't know if that was intended, but I thought the crack would only cover the buttons; it covered the equations for me.

Well, regardless, sweet game! Fun dialogue, fun little calculations.

The gameplay is fun, especially the dialogue and the game indeed crashed after hitting 1000 points. But I don’t know if this was intended, but after 400 points when the screen goes black and white, there’s a heart, clicking on it gives you points. I managed to get over 1.2k haha
