Equals 1 by netguy204

[raw]
made by netguy204 for LD28 (COMPO)
Create a sequence of numbers and operators that add up to 1. You only get points for 1's so plan ahead and make those tiles count!

Note: The HTML5 build requires Chrome or Firefox with WebGL enabled. The web build is pretty good but you will have the best possible experience if you use the native build instead. For example: Music doesn't loop properly in the web build.

I never would have guessed that a literal interpretation of the theme would yield something so playable! Nice Job.

Nice puzzles. the indicator of the current value is really helpful.

The music doesn't loop for me.

This was fun! I like games like this. Not entirely sure if your interpretation of the theme is one that I would consider okay, but it yielded a great game nonetheless. The music stopped playing for me, I'm afraid to confirm too. Graphics did what they should, but some pretty backgrounds would've been a nice touch. All in all, average, but I would definitely play this on my phone for fun!

Great idea! Needs some polish, but very well done.

Seems that this was an idea forced to fit the theme, and it suffers for it. I'm having issues with the music cutting out. There aren't really any graphics to speak of.

I guess it is as fun as doing basic addition and subtraction can be?

The music didn't loop in the web version (didn't try the native.) Which is a shame, it has fantastic music! Like said, this is totally a great little mobile game. You should keep working on it and make it an app or something :D

Pretty decent game, interesting take on the theme! Took me a while to figure out how the rotation thing worked. Also I wish there was a button to reset the level cause I kept figuring out I was doing it wrong way before the end and had to sit out the rest to reset.

Woo nice :) My game has the same "make it sum 1" take on the theme, but I see you have been much more far, this is very cool to have this path of calculation :)

Although it was short :( , I enjoyed it , you might consider publishing a more polished version on smartphones .

Omg! math! :D could be better and funniest to play as a mobile game :) the audio is so cute, but needed to improve the graphics.

Nice idea and music.

After I finished the 4th or 5th level, I got back to the 1st one. So the game was quite short for me. Maybe it could be more fun if you add more operators like * or /.

About the level design, I think you shouldn't make a level with too much tiles. It's hard to predict anything when you have to play with more than 15 tiles so I just randomly chose thing until there's only a few tiles remain.

Very clever! Love to see some more educational games in here. Would probably work well as a mobile/tablet app.
