Inconsistent rules for how blocks move through structures (I solved the lockless one by rotating through a wall where before and after that had not been possible) and an unintelligible method of arithmetic.
The music was repetitive.
The art style was wonderful and funny, properly cartoonish.
I would recommend a more descriptive and clear tutorial, if not a reworking of your parenthetical use. Every time I see 1+2-3 in a simple math game, I want to say ((1+2)-3)=0, not (1+2)+(2-3)=2.
say, further in the future, it becomes possible to have a string of numbers with random values as long as 4 signs long.
A+B+C+D+E (4 +'s).
It is natural for the human brain to associate the methodology with left-to-right bracketing, two at a time.
((((A+B)+C)+D)+E)
Please come away with thIS knowing it comes from an amateur critic and a mathematically inclined mind. Best of luck with your future endeavors.
I may have missed something, and correct me if I am wrong, but to me it seems like you used two examples where parentheses are unnecessary.
I do agree that the music is somewhat repetitive, although I have never really encountered a jam game where the music isnt repetitive in a similar way. Reviewing non-repetitive music as a positive seems more reasonable than reviewing repetitive music as a negative seems more reasonable for me.
I would be pleased if you were to name a game jam game with non-repetitive music.

Congrats on making top 20 in the GMTK Jam! I wanted to reach out to ask if anyone on the dev team would be interested in participating in an interview about your experience during the jam? Interviews are conducted over Discord and presented live on Twitch.
Great game! It took me a while to figure out all the puzzles on my own, especially the last one where I took an hour of my time writing down equations, overcomplicating things. Haha!
Nice art, good music, very interesting puzzle mechanics. I enjoyed playing and recording it :)
I can see how the puzzles can get even crazier, if you decide to make more levels. Good stuff, dev!

Very good game, even for me who hates maths, but "Z" doesn't do anything on AZERTY keyboards.
EDIT: Nevermind, it just doesn't do what I thought it would, but it works.
Add division

Solid game. I suspect the "intended solution" wasn't always the one I found, given that I passed several levels without unlocking all the locks.

Messaged on Discord.
Really clever game. Had some nice brain teasers.
Really great idea! Too bad I am stumbling just now over it.
thank you made me relize how much of a dumbass i am
This game is super fun. Cool concept, and I love math so that's a real bonus.
Wow. Really good game.
Great Concept. Loved it.
Really unique. Starts easy but slowly introduces more complex concepts. Well done.
BTW, Would love for you to try my game too.
It is an Action Platformer with unique controls.

Thank you!
Wow a whole page of equations! Well your efforts were worth it - loved the video and glad you managed to beat all the levels.
The game is very beautiful,
beautiful and a unique idea,
only one thing: but if I want to quit the game which button should I press?
because if i press x in windows it doesn't save my progress, thanks
There is no save feature at this time
Very good ideas !
I really like the use of operator's order and the level.
Thanks !
Amazing game, great concept. I have to admit i didn't get past level 12. Love the overall feel of the game.It is very neat.
2 minus signs(--) have the same effect as one plus sign(+).
It is easier to see with parenthesis:
3 - (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4 = ez win
What an excellent game!
the best game I played in this jam for the moment! waiting for the division, powers and roots (we'll come to complex numbers!)
Your game is fun. Just not too much difficult and not too much easy. Music is deeply fun and chill. I love it !
