Interesting game, played up until the level where you have to match the numbers!

The color choice made it difficult to see and play.

I did notice that on a less bright screen than I used to design it. I largely copied the color scheme from the 1990 8bit color version of the game, but some of them are not quite right. The levels are in random order.

The visuals for this game are very hard on the eyes. I did continue playing the game, despite the appearance, and thought the concept was good for a young child learning basic math. The graphics were not that stimulating and the audio was also not much to talk about either. I'm sure that you'll do better with each new game that you make. Just keep moving forward and congrats on finishing a game, because that's a really big deal at the end of the day. Best to you.

Nicely done! I'm so happy I'm too old to be in the target audience, I make many more mistakes by overshooting the square I want or running into one of the bad guys than by not getting my sums right :)

Very interesting concept! I really like math and I really love puzzles, so this was a nice combination. Munchers is a great game. It does have a few bugs here and there and the graphics are not very pleasing, but overall I liked the execution.

@almighty-games Did you play the original Number Munchers? We were actually forced to play this in grade school lol, and this version looks and plays just like the original. Hilariously the colors were just as ridiculous in the original, and even *worse* for your eyes back then because it was displayed on a cheap CRT monitor! Like staring into a blue light bulb!

@logan-perkins Good job!

Good job! Colors hurt my eyes a bit and it seems like it would be pretty hard for a 3 year old hahah. It was a bit of a challenge for me and I'm way older than that.

I encountered a bug where upon I ate the last number of the level but the monster thing still had a turn, moved over me and ended the game.
