this game has alot of potintial.. i liked the teacher cat.and the jumping to get the right answer. i would have like a slightly less conversations
Thank you for playing and for your feedback! The Equation Beast is also one of my favorite characters. I’ll definitely take the dialogue issue seriously and reflect on it. Thanks again!
love the concept & the art
took me a while to realize i had to stand on the platform to pick the right answer
maybe the letters need more vibrant colors or more contrast of some sort
anyways good job!
You're right, I should add a light to make them more visible. Thanks for playing and for the feedback! !
Beautiful game!
Thank you for playing the game and leaving a comment!!
You deserve it

Got past the Equation Beast.
Thank you for taking the time to play and rate the game! ！
But not too much time, because I stopped playing it a little after the Equation Beast.
Good game.
I liked the voices, the tone of the game. Dialogue is pretty neat, I get why a lot of people don't like it (they mostly don't like dialog games). I couldn't get past the NPC part also, but watched the whole video and liked the ending, and multiple endings sitation. This surely was a lot of work for 9 days, congratulations. I like how the music sets different ambiences. One minor bug in math test if you stay in a letter it automatically selects it for next question. Hope you lower a bit the difficult and maybe a bit less text to make room for everyone to enjoy it. Congratulations!
Ya, you're right. I know this type of game isn't really a good fit for an event like this. But influence of Undertale, I've always wanted to create a game with a complete story, quite challenges, lots of fun moments, and plenty of little secrets to discover.
And the math bug, I actually planned to force the player back to the center after answering the question... but I completely forgot to implement it XD.
Thank you for your feedback! I'll take these lessons to heart and keep learning and improving!!
Not really my type of game, so after a failed attempt I watched a walkthrough movie. Everything is polished and the game looks professionally done. As others have noticed, the music sometimes doesn't go well with the action, but a big plus is that you don't use AI narrative for conversations, but sounds that I really like, especially the cat. I can see that a lot of effort went into making the game.
Ya, I put a lot of effort into making this. The sound of the Equation Beast actually comes from a real cat, but each pitch is randomly varied to make it feel more dynamic. I’m really glad you like it, it’s one of my favorite characters too! !
This music does NOT fit the atmosphere. Nonetheless it's really polished and really eerie.
You’re right, I also felt that the later music didn’t quite fit. I kept thinking about changing it, but the deadline was very tight and I didn’t have enough time to find new royalty-free music, so that’s on me.
Thank you for your feedback! I’ll make sure to pay more attention to this in my future projects！
I recorded a full playthrough of the game. If you get stuck, I hope this video can help you!
Of course, if you make it to the end, please feel free to share a screenshot and let me know which ending you reached.
I’d be really happy and super curious to see it!
Game idea gave me a Backrooms meets SCP vibe, an interesting gameplay choice. The game played smoothly, even though I’m not a big fan of games with lots of dialogue. Great work!
Thank you very much for your comment! I did consider that the dialogue might feel a bit slow or uninteresting at times, player can pressing E can speed it up.
Thanks for giving the game a try! I really appreciate it! !
Great Game! Only issue I ran into is that I couldn't get out the first dialogue with the mom then I swapped browsers and it worked, not sure why but not a big deal.
Hmm... it might be a browser-related issue. I haven’t heard of anyone else meet this problem so far.
Thanks for taking the time to try the game! !
Great game, can't really play but I watched gameplay videos, looks really well polished, puzzles are quite decent but really I'll like to see puzzles that use game mechanics more rather than just option questions. But well, that's a personal opinion. Hope you add mobile controls soon. Great Game!
I’m really happy to see your comment! It’s not just about math, each boss has a different way to deal with it, so it really tests the player’s skills.
I can’t say the game is easy, but if you’re willing to try, I’ll think about to add mobile controls in the future!!
Sure! I'll add it to collection
Nice game although not perfect yet but still really good you should work more on it after the jam
Thank you for playing! Ya, I also think there are still many areas that could be improved and I’ll keep working on it. Thanks again!
You could also help me improve by playing my game /jam/gdevelop-big-game-jam-9/rate/4608582 give me tips etc
Sure, let me try it
thanks!
My Rating
Fun: X X X X - The jump was just a hair too short
Audio X X X - - The Speaking sound got really annoying
Graphics X X X - - Can't give more b/c mostly asset store resources the art at the end was cool
Originality X X X X X Meta
Theme X X X X - I am the top!
I’m really happy you gave the game such high praise
But just to clarify, all of the artwork was created by me together with AI, none of it came from an asset store.
I’m also really glad you made it to the ending! Please let me know which ending you got if you’d like to share! I’m really curious and would be happy to hear it!
This was a good one!
It doesn't feel completely polished yet, but it had a solid ground for a really good game!
I didn't wanna stop playing this one 😂
I’m really glad you’re enjoying the game! If you make it to the end, please let me know which ending you got, I’d be really happy to hear it! And if not, that’s totally fine too!!
I will be sure to let you know as soon as I can defeat the second phase of the silhouette kid boss 👌😅 That chalk is smacking me around the classroom 😂
A lot of people get stuck on his second phase, but it’s actually pretty simple and can be done without taking any damage.
If you’re really struggling, you can check out this video:
Since very few people have beaten the game, I feel like not many have seen the later parts I made, so I’m really looking forward to seeing you clear it! Can’t wait to hear your good news！
Really nicely polished game. I was surprised u managed to pull this off within like 9days. I like how when interacting with someone they make a cute noice instead of actually speaking:D
( Oh and I played this game 2 days earlier and forgot to rate and comment lol)
Anyways keep going:)
Thank you! The character voices were made by repeating the same word with randomly varied pitch values, I learned this from YouTube!
I’m really happy you rated and left a comment! Thank You!!
Amazing! Not only the story is well written but you also added some educational elements to it. I just had an issue that when I was doing Mr. Beast’s challenge that the platform I was trying to reach was constantly blocked by falling cats. Normally that wouldn’t be too much of an issue but there was a timer 😭 Apart from that, this is a very well designed and polished game. Well done!
I was trying to mimic a real exam with a time limit, students causing trouble, and even a passing threshold (fail if get 3 wrong). That’s how this mechanic came to be.
I’m really glad you tried the game and left a comment ! it means a lot to me. Thank you so much!!!
This is a great an interesting game with great choice mechanics embedded within a platformer structure. Well done. And thanks for topping our leaderboard.
Thank you for playing! I also hope more people will try your game!
Great game and so interesting, good Job
Thank you for your kind words, they really encourage me a lot!
Amazing Work has its spark and difference than other games
very polished as well, the mrbeast name was funny doa XD.
I’m really glad you like the game! The “MrBeast” idea actually came from a sudden inspiration while I was trying to come up with a name for Equation Beast XD. Thank you so much for playing!
I loved that you got to challenge your brain while doing a classic platformer this was super unique, love it.
Yes, I wanted to try making a platformer that combines multiple elements — combat, story, and humor. This is my first attempt, and I’m really happy to see that you enjoyed it!!
Impressive, especially as your first, congratulations you should be proud!
