PyWeek - DRummb0ID - feedback

Great storyline! Good progression of difficulty, though I'm not sure if some of those later
ones were meant to be solvable, ha. The chalkboard style is really well done, and adds a great
atmosphere to the game. I had fun, thanks. :)

Loved the chalk theme. I was shocked that it wasn't cat + catnip = happy.

I didn't much like the unskippable title screen, the dialogue, chasing randomly moving blobs
around the classroom against a punishing time limit or the basic arithmetic puzzles. The
thematic blackboard style works.

Nice style and some cute animations. The classroom entities could be better defined, though.

The room time limit combining with the random movement of red blobs makes gameplay very
annoying at times.

Controls felt a bit off - it was hard to catch all the students in the allotted time.

Really cool looking but I wasn't sure what to do in the classroom and kept failing

The game looked promising from the screenshot, I do not usually read description before
trying game first time. The art is great, but the math game left me a little embittered. Nice
work anyway.

In theory, I should not have had fun with this game. But in fact, I did ! It was funny to try to beat
the other students... really. The production is really nice, with no bug at all and nice
graphical stuff !

Cool graphics, funky drawings. I didn’t understand what was the point of the game/what to do …
also seems to randomly quit.

I like a lot the graphic and the music, the game is sadly too difficult; i tried to beat the first
level several time without success, i can barely reach the first guy if he is in front of me and
then the time run out so i have too start again. I don't think there are more than 20 seconds to
finish the first level.

A well made game, nice and fun story as well as simple to use controls. Even though it was about
math, it was rather fun to play it. Only a few more things would be nice to have, like a main menu
and some options to change or some description how to play. Also it would have look nicer if the
"enemies" would have not started all from the same spot but are randomly placed within the
rooms.

Interesting graphics

I wanted to play this game but there were no instructions. I tried several times but I could not
work out how to play the game. Sometimes when you touch a zombie some questions appear. When you
answer them they disappear and nothing happens. Other times when you touch the zombies the
game just stops. No error or anything. I wished it had worked as the graphics are very good.

Getting started was confusing at first since it was unclear that I had to actually walk towards
the red people, since usually red = stay away. Once I figured it out, it was fun to play, although
the time limit for walking towards the other people could be made longer. The long title screen
intro is unnecessary, though (unless you can skip it?)
