A downloadable game for Windows

Controls:

1-3 number keys - select options in the menu

Scroll wheel or left/right click - change value of numbers in equations

Clicking the equals sign or pressing enter - calculate equation

Game:

You are given mathematical equations and a target number that you must reach by adding, multiplying, and exponentiating the digits you are given. Click the equals sign or press enter to confirm your choice, but beware, a wrong answer will HALVE the time you have left.

The first 5 levels are hand-made tutorial levels and everything from level 6 onward is randomly generated. See how long you can last and how much score you can accumulate before you run out of time.

This game was made for Untitled Game Jam 94. The theme was "Start Small" and I instantly thought of a game with exponentially more complex maths equations. Also, I think split-flap-displays look cool, so combining big numbers with a cool display that goes CLICK made this an idea worth pursuing.

Also, if you enjoy the music, you can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoeLq4Ux3TxLEbvkuw6xrVEuKdqDpppW1

This is a really cool idea and a great way to help get a "feel" for how different values can interact. I like that you aren't penalized for getting it wrong; it lets you play and have fun without feeling like you need to pull out scratch paper.

The way the numbers flip up and down is very satisfying in conjunction with the sound effects. The background music was also very pleasant.
