It's a very addictive game. The tutorial, visuals, sound, and progression are all excellent!

learning the soroban by running a market stall, love that. flicking beads feels good and the first lesson is clear. the top bead was a bit fiddly to hit for me, maybe a bigger click area

Damn you, you tricked me into doing math! Love the style, and the effects have real punch. Had fun with this one :)

Awesome! I love some good math edutainment! And it works great!

I love a good mental arithmetic challenge. Very nice and polished.

such a great game! juicy and satisfying, but you also taught me how to use an abacus which i will always remember!

This was.... weirdly fun? What the heck?!

Super solid gameplay progression here, and just the right amount of juice to make the interactions feel fun and addictive while also teaching me a (albeit useless) skill.

Nice work!

Very cleanly implemented entry, I found absolutely no bugs or hiccups whatsoever. Textbook example of using juice too. Nicely done!

It's simple, well made, no bugs, has nice visual effects and sound effects that are engaging. I'm not even mad there's no music, since it's educational, I feel like this works well as is. It'd be a nice little game for a school for sure. Well done!
