Terrible time to post this (during uDev and all,) but what the hell...
This is a game based on a type of math puzzle I used to love solving. Hopefully, the help menu makes it clear how to play.

Opinions are appreciated. Not sure how easy/hard this really is for others, or whether its even sensible to have a computer version of it.
Looks pretty cool. I beet the first level but when it checked it for me it made every row but one red, when in fact I was 100% correct. Also, if you ask for a hint when there isn't a box left it freezes up.

Hm. I think I know how to fix that one. Thanks for kicking the tires.
The show mistakes option shouldn't do that though.

OK. Freezing on hints should no longer happen. New build. Same link.
I think I will add some sort of Professor character to give general solving tips.

I like math games. I too got a correct (I think) solution but it refused to recognize it. Also - I think it should be bigger and easier to read The small thin white text on red or blue backgrounds are a strain on my 1600x1200 screen.

Oh. Almost forgot. Undocumented feature. Hit Copy and then paste into another app and print. Then you can solve the puzzle on paper, if you wish.
