We like the idea of user input using only the arrow keys to choose between the four options — it makes the game very dynamic and fun. As a small piece of feedback, we noticed that the bar indicating the movement turn fills up below the health bar for the player, but appears below the enemy itself. We think it would be better if it also appeared below the health bar for the enemy, to keep it consistent.
Hi, thanks so much for the feedback! I’m glad you liked the idea of using the arrow keys to select answers — making the game dynamic and fun was exactly the goal.
I’ll fix the HUD so the turn indicator bar appears consistently below the health bars for both the player and the enemy. I’ll also take the opportunity to make some other improvements to the game.
Thanks again for helping improve MathCombat!
the enemy died and then it just kept going
"Haha yeah, that’s true! The game doesn’t end yet after the enemy dies — it’s still in development, I’m working on that part! I’ll be adding more enemies soon too. Thanks a lot for the feedback!"
"Hey! I just updated the game — the issue with the enemy dying and the game not ending should be fixed now 😄 Can you try it again and let me know if it's working properly? Thanks again for the feedback!"
the enemy's has a red tint after respawning
Ah got it! That red-tinted one is actually another enemy — there are still two more after that. I still need to polish the scene transitions to make everything clearer and look better. It’s still a game in development, but I really appreciate the feedback! 😊
The jams over so you can't update it till after voting
Thanks again for all the feedback! 🙏 After the jam, I’m planning to rework the game’s scope a bit — mainly to make the battles more fun and the overall gameplay clearer. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep the math-based attack and defense mechanics, since that’s the heart of the game. 😄
