Amazing concept. I like that every color had unique gameplay tied to it. I think I enjoyed red/orange the best though green was interesting, though I found it easy since you can just jump over everything. The final level felt like it went on longer than it needed to though.

When it comes to the second phase, it's really funny and i didnt see that coming. Really great concept and narative, but for the first phase? meh, i really hate math, haha
Nice game! I really enjoyed this lol, was such an unexpected but welcome twist at the beginning! The only thing I'd like to see more of is animations, and maybe more checkpoints (specifically in the 3rd level), but other than that, this was an awesome game. Nice work!
That was so unexpected haha, I was sure I was going to be doing some math problems
Well I have my choice for "best game of jam" now. Awesome work!
if the jam was “it's not what it looks like” you would win for sure, it was very funny and made me laugh at the soap opera that was set up.
Haha! That was the most clever interpretation of the theme by far! I enjoyed it very much, gave me a good laugh
I laugh sooo hard on this one... you got me there buddy!!! I thought this is gonna be you typical math game lmao... Nice job
I laughed a lot :D Cool narration, really funny (and surprising)! Quick note : I see no one else in the comments mentioning it so it might be a problem coming from my laptop/browser, but the dimensions of the game are huge (even with fullscreen mode activated, I was not able to see the whole screen).
Anyway, great job with this submission!
Mom, why does my math game have deep worldbuilding and a full story arc? I just wanted to solve for X, not witness the next Nobel Prize winner!
All jokes aside, I genuinely did not expect that. I went in with simple solving in mind, and you just slapped that idea out of my head. Wow.
