After hard day you go to bed hoping for some good sleep. Dream about girl you are in love would be great, but instead you must fight your demons in a nightmare. You are armed with your calculator C99 and you are ready to teach these demon a lesson.

Add, subtract, multiply, divide - do whatever it takes to prevent these unholy creatures enter your realm! The realm is counting on you...

Click on demons in the order so you make valid mathematical combinations, for example:

9 - 6 = 3

6 + 3 = 9

9 / 3 = 3

3 * 3 = 9

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do? I click on the monsters and random factorials appear - but what next?

Interesting concept and fun gameplay :D

ManicMiner, you need to create some operations with numbers that make sense by clicking on demons in a correct order.

I liked it! I got to level 6, it gets quite hard after a while! I think that as an educative game it would be perfect. Very nice music also!

A very interesting idea - some kind of explanation about what to do would have been nice, but it gets quite addicting after a while...

Interesting idea and execution.

Very nicely done, though I was dying for some zeroes, and maybe the ability to merge 2 demons into a 2-digit number. Great use of the theme.

fun game. i wish the numbers were guaranteed to have answers; frequently there were just no correct answers. otherwise, nice submission!

Good concept. It needs a bit of tuning, because sometimes you just get an unlucky combination of numbers.

Great idea of using math. Game is really slow, but really hard on the other hand. Tuning of number generator will solve it maybe.

Interesting concept. I wish the numbers were a little less random though. Also, where's the powers! 2, 3, 8 should work ;)

Good use of the theme, the usage of math as a weapon is pretty nice, I also like the progression system.

Nice concept, it was hard to understand at first, but after it becomes pretty fun.
Good job!

The game is a bit hard to grasp. It also feels a bit slow. The concept feels interesring, but I am not sure if I would play it long enough to get all the possible upgrades.
