Solid puzzle game, but the premise does fall flat a bit. Very quickly the amount of numbers on the floor becomes overwhelming and it feels more practical to experiment with paths than to calculate the path I need to take. That being said, the game wouldn't be the same without the numbers, and I did consult the numbers at times, primarily near the end of a level to better adjust my path. With that in mind, the game itself is quite good.
Thank you for playing. The game indeed have some difficulty to it, for calculating the result of the numbers on the go can become one hell of an experience :D. The gameloop is in need for more interesting and innovative ideas, maybe that will be some work for the future. Overall the game was fun to make and this jam has a lot of good submissions too. Thank you for the Feedback and good luck with the jam.
I love the visuals, and the puzzles were pleasantly difficult. Great job!
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Pretty nice game and good concept, some difficult but enjoyable
Enjoyable game, loved puzzles and graphics good job.
Cool idea. Love the puzzles, I'll be back at some point to see if you've added more!
That was a smart incorporation of both the theme and limitation, I enjoyed the puzzles and one of my favorite entries so far :D the music and sound effects fit very well too, wished I could enlarge the game window on the browser though
+10 points for the penguin
Solid game and good use of the theme. I like penguins, so you easily won me over. Though to be honest, I really didn't do a whole lot of math and calculations as I was able to brute force it most of the time, just experimenting with tiles and movement.
Thank you very much.
The gameplay does get more reliant on intuition the harder and longer the puzzle gets, so the calculation part gets a little excluded from the gameloop itself (imagine calculating all the number for every route you take ,'3). But that will be another thing for me to work on in the future.
Thank you for the Feedback and good luck with the jam.
Such enjoyable game, I love it!
Nice use of the limitation to be math operators! The puzzles are really well made and quite challenging.
