Really cool game that I'm just really bad at lol. I think it looked really polished, and I like the modifers. Good job!

I spent so long playing this gameee. I found it really enjoyable, especially because of the creativity of this game and playing around with numbers. But there is an exploit that i found out and if you added a penalty/disallowance for not creating whole numbers, the issue would definitely be fixed!

Surprised this hasn't got many ratings! It's a mathy kind of game, which may put some people off, but it is done incredibly well, well enough that my brother was playing random jam games and recommended it to me directly!

There could be some audio and with one of the cards x0.5 is basically /2 not -0, otherwise pretty good. Also check out  my game pls

I like the concept but sadly it gave me no incentive to ever pay attention to the cards or do anything but divide by the highest number. I think this would have needed always rounding up after dividing and also some kind of synergy between the calculations you made. And also I think it would have been better if you had to exactly hit zero, otherwise you really don't have to pay attention. But with all that beeing said: I would die for the little monsters they are incredible

Balatrooooo!!! I like the art here. It was confusing on the first run but after that i got the hang of it and the gameplay was pretty good! Good job!

I was playing this with the assumption that if I used a division without exactly dividing the number I would die horribly, which made it a lot more interesting (often I added a little to get a big exact division). Would be nice to have a preview of what your current set of operators were going to do to the number if this was the case though.

Also, I think you should start with zero cards since I felt a bit overloaded with information at the start of the game. Completing a round could also take you straight to the shop, since there's no reason to not visit it.

Nice idea! And could actually teach kids math very well!

Balatro style game, though it seems like division is all you need. Nice take on the theme!

I love the idea! I kinda wish there were more long term goals, like "gain a shell every time the intermediate number is a multiple of 5" or an ability like "swap the first and last digit". But I enjoyed playing and trying to go for the perfect zero a lot!

Very creative idea - I love the puzzle thinking needed to try to get the number to 0. I was a little confused at first about the rules / mechanics but figured it out. The crazy twitching guy and really fast background were also a bit trippy and made it hard to focus on the puzzle aspect. Overall though, fun game!

Interesting concept,  gives some balatro vibes! I was a little confused on why I would ever allow the cards to activate, as they always seemed to harm me. Overall, chill fun game.
