I strugged managing my field to ensure I could satisfy equations. I really enjoy the idea, but I'm not sure if there's a way to make it work. Great work on the technical side though, it works fantastically","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"OhFiddleDiddle","author_uid":"1014772","time":"2018-04-25T05:38:43Z","epoch":1524634723,"modified":1524634723,"text":"Genuinely one of the coolest concepts I have seen so far. I think what would have made it perfect is a running count of what each block works out to be. I know that would simplify the game a lot but it would also make it play more like Tetris as far as the difficulty goes.\nOtherwise super cool idea, you should definitely release a polished version on mobile and market it as a math game. \nWell done. :D","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Travis W.

I agree with the ideas in the above comments, and I also think having more minus\/negative signs in the mix would open up more possible ways to solve the equations.\n\nI was especially excited to find this game because I worked on a tetris+text-adventure hybrid. We encountered some of the same issues with difficulty when using letters blocks to form words.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Karai17","author_uid":"1000051","time":"2018-04-25T06:58:03Z","epoch":1524639483,"modified":1524639483,"text":"I'm going to agree with the posters above.

The game is really good. Pretty convinient that you have 3 hold-spots.

I enjoyed the snappy controls and never once felt cheated.  The raw text aesthetic worked well with the numeric concept.  I yearned for training wheels: a \"current total\" column showing where I'm at in each row.\n\nA very interesting and well-done experiment, even if I could only scratch the surface.  I think my top score was 22.\n\nOK I tried it once more with the music, and while I was fought a little harder at the end I still only scored 14.  I did notice though that in button-hammer-dodging at the very end I accidentally insta-skipped my score view... maybe that should be passed with a spacebar?\n\nMan this is tough, but interesting.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"chadrbanks","author_uid":"1051018","time":"2018-05-02T01:32:25Z","epoch":1525224745,"modified":1525224745,"text":"Really interesting, I would like to see this expanded.
