December 13th-16th 2013 :: Theme: You Only Get One
[ Real World Gatherings | Ludum Deals | Warmup Weekend ]
In this game, you must use your arithmetical knowledge to correct the equation, but you only get one digit! You must add this digit somewhere in the equation without otherwise changing it.

And do not forget to look for Bieber!

I liked the idea of the game, along with the theme. Good job. I like that it was pretty simple, meaning there couldn't really be any gameplay issues.
Interesting, but indeed quite difficult for me as well, even on easy.
Difficulty isn't very balanced (medium is often easier than easy). However, great game idea. Too bad you didn't make a little effort on the design of your page.
Hoho! I knew learning speed math for all those years would be worth it some day! :)
It's cool that you're trying something different. Math puzzles are just not for me.
Loved the concept but indeed sometimes an Hard level can be easier than an easy one
It would be cool if it kept track of your times, instead of just alerting them.
wow this is really difficult. very nice concept! yeah difficulty is kinda spread randomly.
I liked the basic idea behind this, but the difficulty curve was a sheer cliff.
I did find the giant green Bieber though :)
It's surprisingly fun and interesting for such a simple concept. I think it'd fare well as a mobile app with a lot more polish!
Fun! Maybe I'm slightly too much of a maths nerd but I found this to be enjoyable.
Ha ha ha, cool! You went with something very simple, and very new.
Nice take on the theme! With nice graphics and sound effects, this could easily be a "learning game" app!
Fits the theme well and kudos for the edumacational experience. It might benefit from a bit more "juicing" to make you feel more rewarded over and above the "you got it right/wrong" message
It fit the theme well but I wouldn't consider this HTML webpage a game.
Liked, but I suck at maths, so I couldn't really enjoy the full potential of the game.
Wow I really liked this, an original idea that I found really enjoyable. I think you should start it off simplier though and progressively get more difficult.
Ahah that was unexpected. I guess this is your first attempt in game-making? If so, that's a good start. You managed to finish something simple & fully playable. Next time, you should try to add some interactivity using something simple like jquery or similar to manipulate the text, form etc. (Great example: http://candies.aniwey.net/)
This game was good for my brain, thanks more making it :D i enjoy it a lot :D and the theme fits well, Great job :D
Good idea, the balance could be better. Maybe chosing the number of operation than a not-explicit "easy/medium/hard" ?
Very innovative! I think your easy is medium, your medium is hard, and your hard is easy, however.
This is awesome! I love the non traditional approach to "game" for this. The puzzles were super reminiscent of old math puzzles I used to love.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
It's great to see some non-traditional games in here, I'd love to see more games using basic HTML components; I think that kind of restriction forces you to be creative. I like the concept of this game a lot too, unfortunately I found it really, really difficult, even on the easy settings. Maybe I'm dumb, but I could only solve about half of the easy ones, and it took me a while. It would be cool if they started out being *really* simple, and slowly got harder so I could work my way up. Good job!
