Reviews
- The game offers a fun way to relearn math, making it suitable for both children and adults looking for brain exercise.
- Gameplay is easy to understand, with automatic aiming and simple controls, allowing players to focus on answering math questions.
- It has potential as a cooperative game where one player moves while the other answers questions, adding a social element to learning.
- The technical implementation is very poor, with outdated graphics and no options for resolution or fullscreen mode, making it feel like a low-quality tech demo.
- The game lacks depth and content, with limited scope and ambition, leading to a repetitive experience after a short time.
- Controls cannot be customized, which can make the game unplayable for some users, particularly those with different keyboard layouts or accessibility needs.

The graphics are characterized by a deliberate use of outdated retro pixel art, which many users find unappealing compared to modern PC graphics. Additionally, the lack of resolution options and limited graphics customization further detracts from the overall visual experience.
“A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”

The monetization aspect of Gamemaker Studio is criticized for fostering the creation of retro pixel games that often feel like cash grabs, suggesting a prevalence of low-quality, profit-driven projects rather than innovative or engaging content.

The music in the game is noted as lacking, with reviewers suggesting that its absence detracts from the overall experience. While the game has a solid concept and can be enjoyable initially, the lack of engaging music contributes to a sense of emptiness over time.
“It's a hollow game, a very good idea and you have fun, but after a while, there's nothing more. If they had included a story, more levels, final bosses, or good music, it could easily make history.”
