It was fun and I liked figuring out all the patterns as I was playing it. Getting the answer wrong was a bit rough and there was times that I felt rushed, but it was still a lot of fun. Training my brain to automatically see it as a subtraction problem was interesting and took a bit... Also, while I enjoyed the music, it got super distracting when trying to focus on the math. Overall though, this was an incredible game and I could totally see this as an educational game that kids play to learn and practice.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1057904,"author_name":"wilsk","author_uid":"wilsk","epoch":1713392612,"text":"Oh man this game made me wish my keyboard had a numpad :grinning:.
