A nice start! I like the play mechanic, and could see it getting really interesting if you kept adding more functions to decrement the numbers -- maybe they could also appear randomly for you to select as you go, and if you're not staying sharp, you might collect/assign a function that actually increases the number. This reminds me of school games for arithmetic practice, and typing tutors as well -- could easily shine up into a great one of these; keep it up!
Thanks! Love the feedback!
I like the concept! I had a hard time because I turned too many of my factories into -3 and couldn't figure out how to change it, which didn't feel super ideal lol. but I like the progression. It's a cool idea of an incremental (decremental?) game!
Well done!
Hee-Ho. Very cool idea, nice jam theme realization. Interesting game
Interesting take on the theme, I like it.
I don't really know what's going on :(, but seems like an interesting idea! Congrats :D
Very creative idea! I had some "aha" moments once the mechanics clicked, though the biggest challenge was understanding the interface.
Nice idea, but I think you could upgrade the ui to make it feel even better. The screen was also super small for me for some reason. Was a bit confused about what was going on until I understood after a bit. So a tutorial of some sort would have been nice. :)
Thanks for the feedback! The tutorial would have been a better idea than some more pollish
I guess I'm not smart enought for this game. Anyway it was a good riddle (somekind of).
But:
- the music isn't looped so it has finished after 2nd level at all
- not to convenient UI (maybe some tutorial hightlights would be a good addition)
Thanks for the hints. You are very right about a tutorial being needed, there wasn't any time. Thanks for the music call out, that's a bug :)
Fun little game. Pretty simply to understand and work with. It took me a while to understand the "choose a factory" part at the beginning of a level because the, I assume, change symbol was always active. That said, I do like a math games so it was a nice break.
Thanks for the feedback! I played with the idea of removing the change buttons while playing, but couldn't get it to work without horrible game-breaking errors. But in my personal build I got it to work correctly now. Again thanks!
Fun game! This would have good potential as a mobile puzzle game. Maybe instead of time a move counter could be really interesting.
I think I encountered a bug where the music stopped after so long
Really nice short and sweet game! Once you get to divisions it gets really challenging
Cool game!
