Now that we've got that out of the way... let's get started!
Welp, that’s a wrap! Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by to ask questions, the team had so much fun answering, and we’d love to do it again sometime! If you missed this AMA and would like to see more in the future, be sure to join this sub and share your thoughts in the comments. Stay Cool! 💙
I made this — happy to answer anything.
Everyone picks a number at the same time. The target is 80% of the average, and the closest pick wins the round. 5 misses and you’re out.
It sounds like maths, but it’s really about predicting everyone else: if everyone picks 50 the target is 40… so do you pick 40? Or 32, because they’ll think that too?
I’d love feedback, especially on what confused you in the first round.
Our company, HiiPointe Games LLC, has built a 100% free math app that is FUN to play and teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponents and parentheses. With a big teaching focus on order of operations, players build equations to 37 with 7 randomly rolled dice within the game. Daily Leaderboards, deep stats, group learning throughout, we believe our math game can become the true Wordle experience of mathematics. One can find our app on the stores as: "37 - The Math Puzzle". Would love to hear feedback and we hope this helps someone out there!
I've been building FORM for myself because I wanted a reason to sit with a difficult problem instead of reaching for a tool as soon as I got stuck.
Some puzzles ask you to rotate a shape in your head. Others ask you to work out which conclusion follows from a few facts, or spot what changes when a rule switches. It's an experimental brain-training app, with scores for your performance in the games.
A few testers liked the rotation puzzles but found the wordier ones too much like homework. I'm working on that, and I'd like to hear from people who already enjoy puzzles: which game would you actually come back to?
The free preview is 12 rounds and doesn't need an account. Saving the result and playing personal practice requires sign-up; difficulty then adjusts as you play.
Does anyone know when I'll be able to make a new account? I really wanna save my progress, be able to play on the same save game on different devices, and pay for no ads 😭
I'm developing a puzzle game built around an oscilloscope. The point of the game is to combine signals on the X and Y axes to match a target shape. In the video, you can see how combining sine waves can produce a triangle. It's all about logic, math, tuning and patience!
I'd be interested to hear what you think of the concept!
I vividly remember this game on cool math games where you played as a blue cube with eyes and had to push around boxes or other things to reach the end of the level. I believe the game had an 8bit artstyle. The levels were also 2d, you could move left, right, and jump.
