Interesting idea for a game, would have preferred having some information presented in the game instead of having to go to Wikipedia though, perhaps as an optional info button.

this was a cool concept i hadnt heard about the german tank problem before but it was interesting reading about it. 

I'm a big fan of games that make you do your own work for the solution - and I could really see enjoying a simulation/puzzle type game where it just presents you with a bunch of battle information and you need to go do your own research and calculations to form a strategy (might be a niche audience for this but there would for sure be one). could also just be like an educational game you'd do for math homework haha.

loved the vibe and art too really good job on this!

I just entered numbers tbh. But the game has got a cool vibe to it, the art and music work well. It felt like guessing but with some clues. If I have the time I’ll probably come back to understand the calculations part to try again.

Didn't do any math, just entered numbers lol

I don't know if this was intentional, but I got negative money. Woohoo! I won, too.

Though the lack of a tutorial really hits hard. First couple rounds I was unsure of what to do, so I tried adding all the serial numbers. Then that didn't work and the enemy won, so I tried just doing above 200-400 every time.

This was really cool!  I loved the art and the concept -really fun idea to not overspend to defend -the music rocked too!

Nice work!

The art is amazing! Especially since it was limited to 4 colors. Great job on it!

In my opinion, the player has too large an advantage in terms of cash, I found that I could comfortably overuse resources. (Rounding up all my tanks to be multiples of 50s)

Overall, nice game! I enjoyed playing it.

The game look/art is awesome !
