The gameplay of "Devil's Calculator" revolves around creatively using calculator functions to achieve the target number, 666, with a unique thematic twist that enhances the puzzle-solving experience. While the clever design integrates gameplay mechanics with thematic elements, some users find the user interface slightly cumbersome, which can detract from the overall experience. The developers are also seeking input from mathematics graduate students to refine the game's mechanics and puzzles further.
“It does help, however, that the developer found an incredibly clever way to present this gameplay to the player through its theming: the goal of every level is to use the operators to create the beast's number, 666.”
“The unique decimal representation works well with the mechanic to disable certain buttons (e.g., if the operator allows neutral operations with certain inputs, just disable the 6 button so players can't simply type 666 and perform a neutral operation).”
“The UI makes it slightly cumbersome to get to the meat of the gameplay.”
“But maybe this helps show that the theme (probably) wasn't chosen arbitrarily, but there were gameplay reasons for it.”
“Devil's Calculator is a puzzle game focused on the following mechanic: you want the calculator to display the number '666' using (all of) the functions on your calculator.”
