Nice UI, enjoyable core loop
Thanks for playing!
Liked it. Took a bit to understand, but once I did, it was fun. Didn't expect it, but I can see it has a lot of strategy involved. Could use more user feedback. Liked the minimalist art style. I find it a very different feel from other roguelike deckbuilders (balatro/Word Play) because in those games you're trying to get a bunch of points, but in this game it's more survival- and safety-driven. Deckbuilders are hard. Surprised you have so much content
Thanks for playing! Once I decided on a deck builder, I ended up choosing the minimalist style to avoid having to draw any art, that saved me the most time.
UI is clear and simple
Thanks!
Love how well executed the concept was! And I like the simplicity of the UX as well, makes it really easy to want to do just one more run!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yo this is really freaking good. Love love love the concept. The aesthetics are really nice as well. Very puzzly and mathy. I went in a very similar direction for my game but I really like what you did more than mine.
This is something I would totally pay for a full version of on Steam. I like the concept a lot! Well done!
Thanks for playing, nice to see another number based game, also made in Godot!
Very interesting idea that could evolve into much more. Tight and efficient concept, kinda reminds me of Balatro.
Thank you!

Counting your own number down while juggling math cards is a clever and surprisingly tense deck-builder idea!
Thanks for playing!
really fun game, lots of interesting strategy with the different maths operations.
Thanks for playing!
Really interesting idea for a roguelike, led to many very interesting decisions. I could definitely see this becoming a full on roguelike because of how good the premise is and how many cool new operations it's possible to add! Great job!
Thank you!
Math and deck building ? An interesting combo for sure, especially when it's well executed. Good job guys.
Thank you!
This is evil, and a wonderful time sink -- and only the clock is stopping me trying another run~
Not sure I've much of a winning strategy but learning that unused turns could be saved was neat.
(only wish I could save some cards for an emergency, like substitute)
Edit: oh there is an end (and a 'hp' cap)
I think I might rework substitute instead, seeing how it really only has 1 use case when your number is really low.
I'm not sure there is a way around the hp cap though, since the math gets harder when the numbers hit 3 digits.
Thanks for playing!
To be honest the cap stops you getting *too* powerful at least, and 3 digits would be a bit squashed
(plus you can still drop down by a lot with mismanagement >.>)
yea, I was testing with the negate passive and collide, the player number just went up too quickly
I like it! This game jam has shown me that anything can be turned into a roguelike successfully lol.
Thank you! Yea, I think the roguelike genre is really saturated right now.
i could literally play this game for hours. I'm sure there's probably some balance stuff to figure out, but if you did that and polished up the graphics, i 100% would buy this on steam
That is the plan! Thanks for playing!
As a student who majoring math, I have to say it's the best game I have ever see in GMTK 2026
Wow! Thank you for the high praise! The math here is trivial compared to a math major XD
Really good idea. Loved it..
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love the name of the game ! Cool way to teach numbers and how operations works. Great job, keep it up !
Thank you!
Really cool game. I can see this doing really well as a full game. It could even be a good tool to teach kids numbers and how they interact with each other.
Thanks for playing!
Build does not load for me, both in firefox and chrome :(
Sorry to hear that, though I am not sure what could be causing the issue. May I know what device you are using? It loads for me on Windows 11.
Managed to load Wow! This is really well made, I’ve made to to level 5 :)
Great! That's all the way to the end. Hope you managed to try all 4 passives. Thanks for playing!
Tried all passives, I think I like primes the most, equals is fun too but high risk, as you can be out of mana and get new numbers. maybe if it will give you back +1 mana it could help balance it a bit
If this was a free to play on mobile I would play it lol, really polished
Mobile is a bit harder, it will probably come to steam first, though that will also be a long time later.
