Great game! Love it!

This game is very simple and easy to get going, but has an interesting premise and levels that make it very worth the (very cheap) price tag. At first, I thought it was gonna be an unengaging experience: consult guide, make shape, go to the next level. But after 5 or 6 puzzles, the core of the game started to click with me; no longer did I feel like I had to look up every shape and their corresponding value, I was actually LEARNING the numeric system, intuitively. Then the game builds up on it with subtraction, multiple different shapes, etc. By the time I got to the end, I was feeling so confident in having learned the system – and had so much fun doing so – that I replayed from the start, but hid the answers and disabled auto mode, to truly test if I had mastered the game. And I had! A couple levels gave me pause, they're not all the same and play on different arrangements of subtraction that get you thinking a bit harder, but it was always very rewarding to click the "Submit" box and see that I had, indeed, figured out the right shape for each number, most times on my first try! The only nitpicks I have with this game is that, unfortunately, there are no resolution settings. The game was fullscreen for me, but at a lower resolution than my monitor. A couple times, pieces spawned on top of the "Submit" button, which made it accidentally "click" at the same time as I picked the piece (it doesn't really have a negative impact on gameplay, score, achievements or anything, so hardly an issue). But the pieces snapping was sometimes a bit picky, where it would snap to the region to the side of what I wanted, or would sit on top of it without having properly snapped. These two cases were trivial to correct and didn't hinder progress, but it felt like a break in the otherwise pristine flow of the game. All in all, 9/10. Very short and sweet, cheap, and I learned something cool while playing!

I nice and relaxing puzzle that uses symbols and math to create a nice challenge. Once you start the game, you'll see the symbols as a lot of uncomprehensible elements that don't make sense, but the puzzle progression make a good work teaching you how the symbols work and how they convert in numbers depending on the position. I was a little sad when I reached the final, I hope this game receives some new levels soon.

Jogo Simples, rápido e divertido, bem elaborado e feito na medida certa.

its great but it should have different sytems to be challenged with

Um jogo de puzzle bem dahorinha. É um jogo em que cada formato em diferentes posições formam determinados números (1-9), a partir desses números você tem que formar um outro número maior. A pesar de ser meio complicado de pegar, quando você finalmente entende, é bem simples até. Demorei uns 20min para fazer os 35.

joguinho gostoso de quebra-cabeça, quem gosta de resolve uns puzzle e ou matemática vai gosta com certeza.

Really fun short puzzle game. I like the concept and I had a really fun time playing
