I think the scariest thing here isn't the monster, but the meth.  I liked the idea of the game, but i wish it had better visuals. I'd like it to have a timer and for the equations to gradually become more complex.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I recommend checking out MathHorror 2 on my profile — it has a timer mode and three difficulty levels that you can switch between.

I'm guessing you're supposed to solve the math questions fast to avoid the monster, but I've been doing it for a while and nothing seems to happen. The text being in Western Siberian doesn't help much.

The idea itself is cool, but it needs more feedback and presentation.

Developer

Hey! Thanks a lot for your feedback! You got it right — you solve math problems to escape the monster. I’ve already released MathHorror 2, where everything is clearer, faster, and with full language support. I hope you’ll give it a try!

Yeah I'm also not getting how the game is supposed to operate and the Russian text is not helping either.

Developer

Hey! Thanks so much for your comment! I know the first version can be confusing — in MathHorror 2 you’ll be able to choose your language, and English will be the main one.
The gameplay is simple: solve math to move, but every wrong answer brings the monster closer. Try to reach the exit before he gets you!
I’ll try to fix everything and make the game much better

Developer

I'm planning to make a second part of MathHorror...
Interested?

(The first part of MathHorror is on my profile)

I'm missing the horror element of this, If there was a time frame or some consequence for getting it wrong it would've helped with the game loop. Aside from that cool concept reminds me of baldi's basics

I struggled to understand the game and the Russian text didn’t make it any clearer.

Developer

Hey! Thanks for your feedback! First version is a bit confusing.
In MathHorror 2 you’ll be able to choose your language (English, Ukrainian, or Russian), and I’ll make everything clearer and better!

I let my nephew play with it, and he's happy!

Developer

That’s great! Thanks a lot for your feedback — it really means a lot to me.

I’ll keep improving the game to make it even more fun to play!
