Education to survive by loonydrope
The world has changed, zombies are everywhere and humankind needs to be strong. This is why kids are prepared to face reality since elementary school.
Play as a little girl taking maths classes with a severe schoolmistress and dumb zombies!
[Update] After feedbacks, I changed the mathbox font so it can be more readable (see screenshots below) Both the updated version and the original can be found following the link to itch.io on this page.
original mathbox
new mathbox, more readable
-Every graphics is drawn by me with inkscape. -I borrowed the sound effects on free sound banks on the internet and worked on them with audacity, but the music track has been fully composed by me with Bosca Ceoil. I chose to be rated in Audio, even if all is not self made. Feel free to down vote if you do not agree, I can understand. -The game is made using godot engine 3.0

I found the game really fun! I wish the numbers were a bit bigger and fatter though, i had a hard time seeing the symbols and letters at times. (Stressful when a zombie is chewing on that kids head! :D)
Good job! I enjoyed it! ^^
Yes, I definitely should have used a more visible font, at least for the math box.
If your math skills are bad, (just like mine ^^), you can change the waiting time of each operation and the zombie velocity in the second screen, values used for easy, medium and hard levels are just arbitrary presets.
Those comments make me really happy. Having something to post was a first satisfaction, and knowing people play an like my game makes it greater!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I have just updated the page to take in account the feedbacks: I have changed the font for the math box so it is more readable. The original version can still be found for comparison.
I am having fun playing games, I hope you all have fun too!
Either way, I wouldn't want to study in that school. I'd rather take my chances with the zombies. Well done~
I will try to reproduce this error, understanding why you got a pre-filled answer and lose control over the LineEdit...
And I clearly should remove zeros values from the random lists for any operation, this is not really interesting.
Thank you!
I love the comic graphics. Especially the details like the one girl and the teacher being behind barbed wire. Cool zombies and animations as well.
The minus symbol in your font is still a little thin, the rest is good now (I read that you updated it already).
The sound is cool, very arcady and a good fit.
The difficulty might even be higher, on random and hard I managed to win the first time with only two losses :-)
Overall a very cool game, good work, I will be sure to follow you to see what you have to offer in the next LDs :-)
If you want more difficulty you can still speed up the zombies and let you less time for each operation, I picked the values for Easy/Medium/Hard based on my family results but this is not an universal reference!
I really hope I will participate to other LDs and that this will be as great as this first one. Will be glad to see you then!
I can advise everyone to teach children interactively, on games, films, various training services, let them from childhood become accustomed to technology and the Internet, in adult life this will help them out!
For example, when my child encounters a problem, I explain that you need to use en.wikipedia.org, www.mathpapa.com/, or even https://writercheap.com/blog/narrative_essay_topics for certain cases, for example.
Why sit with incomprehensible questions for whole days, if you can get a sample, how to do it correctly, for ... an hour!"
