This is actually a great idea and I can see something like this being used in schools! 
I would've loved for my summer homework to look something like this haha. Great job!

Very interesting and original idea!

I enjoyed that. During a beautiful summer afternoon. ... 

My best progression is six nodes, but I end up stuck despite redraw and special card (or my brain is rotten which is also a strong possibility).

Little bug : the buttons on the top right were hiding some info.

I love slay the spire inspired games, and this one really is creative and unique. There’s a lot of work on the mechanics and the idea in general is great. The ui might be a little confusing, and I think that with some graphic element (Like drawn cards) it could be so much better!

Full mathematical roguelike is the game that I did not expect!
I totally suck at math so game is not for me, but if someone is greate with math 100% he will have fun!

Also project maybe could be used to teach people.

A really great twist on the genre. As a math nerd, I found going through the equations quite amusing. This game would also make a useful tool in academia for the younger audience as well!
