Modulo

An entertaining way to develop facility and intuition with modular arithmetic in any radix up to 64. Still fun if you aren't interested in math per se. The visual aesthetic is simple but pleasing, and I really like the music and sound design. The core gameplay is worth the $3 I paid, but it has some rough edges and unrealized potential. I appreciate how easy it looks to mod the interface, so I plan to create mods with duodecimal (dozenal) and other strange orthographies or alternate numerical expressions. It would be nice if there was a workshop or someplace on the website to share them. Online features seem cool but there is a microscopic user base and the authentication process was finicky enough that I'm sure most users end up skipping it. Despite the fact it's a very simple app (and there is nothing wrong with that) there are bugs from really basic things like unexpected user input; it's annoying to crash a game because someone didn't expect you to hit the spacebar instead of a number. But once you figure out how you're actually supposed to play, you won't necessarily run into such things twice. And while I don't care about steam achievements, they're obviously broken. I could see a lot of potential in terms of new modes and other features and polish. I hope the dev sticks with it and makes it a success. It's actually quite fun.
