IMPORTANT: Some people are reporting a crashing bug on entering all of the equations. This doesn't happen to most people, but just remember not to score the game if it is unplayable for you.
PLOT:
It's the distant future: 2005. You, Vector Mc Math, have been thrown into the post-apocalypse math death arena. In this arena, you must use MATH ITSELF to combat the oncoming waves of robots, goblins, brutes, flying turrets, and castles on wheels.
DESCRIPTION:
In this game, you get to create the equation for the line your projectiles will follow (as in y=stuff). You get five in total. Use the calculator at the bottom of the screen to enter in equations. NOTE: ^ is for exponents, (-) is a negative symbol, X is your variable (* is multiplication), and < is backspace. When you have a valid equation, you will see a preview of the attack on screen. Press the blue button to submit your attack. Note: the player character functions as the origin, so moving around WILL affect where your projectiles go. Also note: nested parentheses and nested exponents have been disabled. You will not be able to enter them.
SUPER IMPORTANT NOTE: Your health regenerates slowly when you are not getting hit.
If you are having trouble with difficulty, please try out the post-compo version. The health and spawning systems are re-balanced along with enemy speed to give a greater focus to using different optimal equations.
SOME EQUATION IDEAS FOR THE LAZY:
y=0
y=x
y=x^2
y=x^3
y=x^(-2)
y=9*x-99*x^3
