Math Hero - Minimalist Puzzle

Cool concept to kill 2-3 hours on, with a LOT of bad design decisions and a flat difficulty curve that never picks up. 1. It should be a crime to make a game as simplistic as this not have mouse-only controls. Not only that but the game has the audacity to suggest using arrow keys, spacebar, AND the mouse. Put your hands on those keys. Do you realize you would need THREE hands for that? Thank god WASD input is also accepted. 2. You must solve every level under a limited number of moves but this is never explained or mention and you will be seemingly randomly failing some levels until you find it out. 3. Levels have a timer as well. In most cases it's like five minutes which is comfortable enough to not care about it. Some levels don't have a timer at all. But then one level has sixty seconds for instance. Like... Why? It displays a game over screen, you click the Restart button, and continue staring at the same level still looking for the solution (which you then do in mere seconds). It's basically a minor distraction once per minute. Just why? 4. The bad part: some levels are "Dark". When you start such level the game pauses itself for 15..25 seconds, then removes visibility from all but adjacent cells. You're supposed to memorize the layout... For some reason. Like. Again. Why? Can I just... Solve the level? I can never do it under such a time limit. You cannot afford to make a single wrong move either. Don't know about you, I've been screenshotting the levels and pasting them in MS Paint. I don't like the whole restarting rigmarole. 5. Hilariously enough, in Dark levels you cannot see the number of your starting cell. You must wait 15..25 seconds to make a move, see the number, restart, take a screenshot, and only then start solving the level. Just stupid artificial roadblocks for zero reason. JUST LET ME SOLVE THE LEVELS 6. Oh and you cannot skip the Dark level timer either. Enjoy the extra 25 second wait when you do figure out the solution. 7. Actually there's no "restart level" button either. 8. "New game" button precedes "continue". Misclick once and you'll gonna have to go through level select menu. 9. Background animation is obviously poorly implemented. The thing about the game is that the difficulty stays the same throughout all 50 levels, and honestly I don't think this concept even has any room for it. You just deduce each level from finish to start one step at a time and that's it. The obnoxious shenanigans that obscure and hinder the game are probably there for this reason but they are horrible at what they're trying to achieve. Still, good concept, just implemented quite poorly.

Definitely made me think.

Das erste was Spieler in dem Spiel in den Sinn kommt ist "Was?", Häh?" und so weiter. das Spiel was anfangs im Shop noch recht interessant wirkt entpuppt sich beim spielen als harter brocken, der nichts für 0815 Mathefans ist. Einer der Gründe ist weil das Spiel an einigen Stellen so billig daher kommt wie es preislich ist. Die Informationen die man bekommt sind fast null, somit musst du dich die Regeln meist selbst erarbeiten. Die Grundaufgabe ist die in den Kreis markierte Zahl mit addieren und subtrahieren der Zahlen auf dem Feld zu erreichen, was recht simpel klingt aber schnell zum Frust wird. Der Grund für den Frust befindet sich in den Bildern unten Rechts, diese Zahlen sind nämlich, nachdem du das bemerkt hast all jene welche du bei der Kombination nicht erhalten darfst. Hinweise darauf = 0. Haben wir Zahlen erfolgreich kombiniert, können wir mit der Maus eine Zahl markieren welche das Ergebnis hat und dann von dort weitermachen, bis wir das Ergebnis erreichen. Das Spiel hat den Errungenschaften nach 50 Level und in Späteren Leveln zieht der Schwierigkeitsgrad an, weil dann noch verborgene Felder hinzukommen und andere Erschwernisse. Meine einzige Errungenschaft ist "Kenne die Spielregeln", welche über 70% der Spieler geschafft haben, gibt es für das schaffen des 3 Levels. Nur habe ich bis heut kaum was von den Regeln verstanden. Ein Spiel für echte Mathe Liebhaber, welche sich gern alles selbst erarbeiten. 👑 Powered by HoI 4 Deu Curators group in German / English 👑⠀⠀⠀ [list][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/30388691/] Follow Main group [/url][*][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40282064/] Follow Second group [/url][/list]

A short game with 50 levels of math puzzles and only one solution for each level. I enjoyed it although the game is short and only requires basic addition and subtraction mechanism.

Para fãs de puzzle e matemática, esse aqui é bem desafiador, no começo pode demorar até pegar o ritmo, mas depois se transforma em pura lógica.

Great puzzle game, with a interesting mechanic. I recommend it.

Very nice math game, it's simple or not, i liked!

I loved the game. It has a cool and challenging mechanics. Perfect for math lovers. I recommend!

The rules are never explained. I've played for 20 minutes and still don't know what I'm doing. I'm done. If there were a tutorial, or even if there was a block of text that explained the rules it'd be better. I would not recommend this game.

Simple puzzle game, sure, but it was fun and I did enjoy my playthrough. 50 levels is a tad bit short and I did accidentally restart a couple times, but overall not bad for a quick puzzle fix.
