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!
First one to find him is the best person ever!

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!

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.

i did not even knew what I was doing the whole time!

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!

Nice idea, but math games aren't that fun.

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

Really hard! I like the idea of using math. :)
crockid519 Dec 2013, 23:55
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/)

Hmm, I should make a bot to answer these for me?

I like maths games, nice work ;)

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" ?
Jedi6 Jan 2014, 19:55
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.
