Even if we are supposed to do the calculations in our head the time per each question is way too short. Interesting concept to have math with consequences but needs ramp up.
When I see the math question, I took out my calculator without hesitation.It is calculator's show time! Then I find estimating will be better than using calculator because it need times to typing. It would be better if the difficulty is reduced.
I'm really good at dying in this game. I like the idea and the way you built a strong sense of urgency. I think this would have benefited a whole lot with starting with much simpler equations and building up toward more difficult ones, but I completely understand not having time to accomplish balancing like that during Ludum Dare. Good work on this.
I was able to keep selecting answers after I died. Then u got mor questions. Then I died again but kept picking answers. Finally I got back to the main menu somehow. So i guess i won?
Also, i think you might have forgotten to restart the timer if you guess wrong. I guessed wrong, died, started a new game and the timer lasted a fraction of a second before i died again.
Got to the third equation. I consider this an achievement. The timer for the questions were REALLY short. WAY too short. It could have maybe started off slower and increased in difficulty with time.

For real though, I'd increase the time for each question

The sound is good.
