Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Tried the arcade mode a few time on medium settings. Huge difference in the difficulties between the individual task, going from one task where you need to fill out 16 brix, and in the next you only have 7 and only one fuction. Then after completing 4 tasks I got a level with more spots than brix and it wouldn't allow me to finish the task even though I got the solution. It kept saying missing button, but I was all out of button. Tried repeating it on medium but got the same situation on first task. Seems there is a bug somewhere in the mechanism :(

i understand about the solution thing, my brain sweated for a long time and then i gave up. As for the easiest difficulty, i expected nice easy single digit problems, because its timed, i'm not very fast and tend to over think, so it just seems tough to me when you start in with double digit numbers on lv2 of the easiest setting
Thanks a lot for constructive feedback, I did not expected double digits to increase difficulty that much. Problem with single digits is that the number of possible levels is very limited, however I might increase that by extending maximum number of single digits up to four or five.
I'll tweak the difficulties a bit and upload new version. Thanks again! ^^

The time for easiest Arcade seems to short to me For just a minuite. Maybe cuz my computer freezes but I do like how the time increases how when you get them right :) Cant wait for achievements to be set on Kongregate so we get points as well :)

i picked arcade mode and then easiest and it was too hard. maybe re-check that, otherwise good game. Also if you get stuck on normal mode, their should be a show solution or a hint
Thanks for feedback
Why exactly do you feel that the easiest was too hard? There are some constraints for the level generator based on difficulty, which tell it how many numbers it can use, how many digits they might have and what operators are allowed. I think the equations generated on easiest are fairly trivial, so it would help me if you provided some more detail about why exactly do you find it too difficulty.
I'm not going to show solutions in the normal mode, as that would effectively allow players to cheat, but I'll try adding some hints when they're stuck, but nothing definite (it will be still up to the player to solve the puzzle - it's supposed to make your brain sweat :-) )
Because I wanted to keep it simpler (more about solving puzzles than using syntax "specialities" like that) so there are never going to be two consecutive operators like that and the parser automatically rejects it.
The parser is kinda minimal and supports only features that are actually used in the levels.
