Man, this took me back. Just stumbled through the first two levels and will have to come back to the others when I have some more time.

I love an educational game. This one does seem to be a little all over the place in terms of difficulty and the expectations you put on the player.  Concepts are presented without clear definitions or explanations, just formulas, so I assume the target audience is calc students who are reviewing known material. But the questions themselves would be pretty trivial for anyone who already knows the material to the level you're expecting. (slope of x^2, area of rectangle [2;0] x [0;5], etc)  Edit: Then again, the time pressure makes even the simple questions much more difficult! I like that the boss fight is a more involved, multi-step question.

The formulas themselves could be presented better. I had a really hard time just visually parsing something like this:

∫_0^1 dx ∫_x^1 f(x;y) dy = ?

I eventually figured out what was going on here but if you could get some latex like formulas working in here it'd be so much nicer.

I say all of this but I haven't touched a calc textbook in a million years so I was remembering how all this machinery works on the fly. Overall I had fun waking up some long-neglected parts of my brain for this one and would definitely play more.

I am not sure how well this related to the theme, it is more of a math quiz game. So if you want to try a math quiz, this one is for you.

Thank you for your comment! In my opinion, this year's theme is quite wides, the times you do the quiz or the times you wait for the exam to come are both countdown. By that reason, i think my game can fit into the theme.

No I will not, no you won't take me back to calculus NO RELEASE ME AAAAAAAAAAAH

Sorry, my years of calculus are way to far, I couldn't make it past floor 1.

Still real talk,you got great ideas in here ! Especially, the idea of having as a boss, a complex problem which must be solved in multiple step, this is brilliant. I also like the progression system, with the gold earning you advices. Great teaching tool you have here !
Still hate calculus, Kudos for the game, get lost for taking me back to this.

Thank you for the comment and the compliment! I also really hate calculus, so i made this game just to force myself to understand it better.  My goal is to help myself and the guys like me could have easier time passing the final exam, so if you are not the target audience, you would have very hard time playing this game. Thank you again because despite all of that and still try my game tho!

Sadly, as the target audience of someone who struggled in Calc 2, I am absolutely terrible at this game, but I like the vibe!

Thank you for the comment! I also terrible at Calc 2, so i made this game to get better at it.
