Not too complex, musically, but it works really well!\r\rI think I found a bug... If I connect the '^' symbol without any links, it counts as 0. 0^0 should be 1, I think?\r\rI'm talking about the "-8" result level, which I solved by subtracting a few numbers from, well... zero.\r\rThe simplistic graphics are also cool in a way, it felt a bit like wiring up some logical components ^_^"},{"author_name":"Amine Tcherak","author_uid":"111717","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 1:28pm","epoch":1472563380,"text":"Great games i like it good works"},{"author_name":"Xakkar","author_uid":"76807","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 3:26pm","epoch":1472570460,"text":"I like this game)"},{"author_name":"AWOL","author_uid":"81286","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 3:37pm","epoch":1472571120,"text":"I like this style it kinda reminds me of my game Elemental Wheel."},{"author_name":"oskardevelopment","author_uid":"21518","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 5:21pm","epoch":1472577360,"text":"Nice puzzle game where -8 took me quite long, while the larger puzzles went quite quickly (I guess I must've be cheating as it was so easy?).\r\rCool idea and nice to have some maths again, was too long since uni! :)"},{"author_name":"sudorossy","author_uid":"7905","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 9:25pm","epoch":1472592000,"text":"I have to say that I'm an artist and always hated math, but this game is so interesting and have really nice mechanics, also really like the back story :P -itsandrea"},{"author_name":"unpronounceable","author_uid":"18422","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 10:10pm","epoch":1472594700,"text":"Minimalistic graphics worked well with the game play.
