Interesting idea. The puzzles get hard fast. The questions always flicker, which makes them hard to see/solve. Still, good stuff.

While the puzzles do get hard and the questions flicker, I think its a great take on the theme and for your first jam its good stuff. It's my first jam too heh.

Good effort for your first attempt at the Jam! Simple and besides the flickering quite simplistically and obviously presented. Sound effects and a bit of polish would make this a lot nicer, but I'm well aware such concepts are veritable luxury during the Ludum Dare :)

Great premise for a game!

Like:
- as someone who wants their brain be uploaded to a computer, this is just my game :grin:
- I love IQ test puzzles, too!
- fantastic idea with the Google Docs bug report and survey!

Try differently:
- the Text does glitch out a lot on my screen
- when typing numbers with the numpad, it recognizes these as "NUMPAD_x"
- I was unable to make a screen capture

Overall:
- game didn't work enough to really enjoy it
- 3 riddles in, the screen is so corrupted it's impossible to discern what is left from the previous riddle and what's part of the current one.
- great premise, nonetheless!

Nice idea! I think it would be much better with more animations and music. ;)

A bit boring game. Most questions are too easy. Text is fickering((( Not bad for the first time

Text stops flicker if I press "backspace"

Good effort for your first game. The flickering text is adding an additional layer of difficulty. ;) Some more riddles would have been great.

Good idea. Would like to have seen it a bit more deleloped. I didn't have problems with flicker. Would have been nice to be able to use numpad also. Nice game!

Please do not use Java for your games if possible. I don't have a Java installation and don't want one and there are more people with the same problem. Consider using a technology that allows for easy deployment, at least for Windows.

Interesting puzzle Game. I like the concept of this game.
Here are some things you could improve: Some of the question showed up twice and using the same number row more than once takes the challenge out of it. Some of theses number rows were to easy. There was no penalty for wrong answers therefor you could just keep skipping hard questions to get to rows like 2,4,8,?,32,64. Also you wrote congratulations wrong.

Alrighty.. I figured out what was wrong with it.. For some reason.. you can type an infinite number of "SPACE" into the question box.. so I thought it was broken.. but.. I completed it.. Not sure if I entered the correct answer at times, but it advanced and at the end it said I won, so... Yea.. Nice to see a Java game on here. :)

Didn't work for me on macOS 10.10.5, I see a black screen with red circles around it and a 15:00 countdown, but I don't see any questions?

I beat the game! I got some of the questions wrong, but the next questions were easier and it didn't count my mistake. As mentioned, I had a flickering text problem, and had to backspace to remove the flicker.

I like puzzle games in general, and this is no exception. Some of the questions were on the easier side though, but that's perfectly fine.

As the people before me have mentioned, the text flickers and gets overlayed which renders a few levels to be a pain to play.
A shame you couldn't get the music to work.

The input box is also a bit annoying to use.

The math puzzles are fun, it's also nice to see them randomized.

Got quite frustrated with the flashing behind the "questions" because it almost made it impossible to see the question for me.
