I Don't Think That's Math by ratly
0=1, and 1 = 0. Nothing is as it should be. But nothing is everything, and everything is nothing. So, does that mean you can put everything as it should be?
The object of the game is to use the various math operations to go from the original equation to one that is actually true, thereby "proving" the original equation.
Operations include: - The Law of the Mirror Image: you may take the mirror image the equation, if possible for all digits, and retain the same result. - The Law of Rotation: as we all know, you may rotate the digits on each side of the equation by 90 or 180 degrees, if possible for all digits, and this will not change the result. - The Laws of the Outside Digits: You may remove the same digit from the front (leading digit) or back (trailing digit) of each side of the equation. You may insert the same leading digit to both sides. - The Laws of Splitting and Merging: Of course, you may deconstruct a digit into its parts, or construct a digit from its parts. For example, it is well known that an 8 is simply a 0 with a belt through it. You may remove the belt and place it to the left side, and therefore 8 = -0.

Very funny concept through, I love it!
edit: Just saw the answer in the screenshot. Haha I gotta pay more attention.
Overall: Great puzzle!
Fun: What a great puzzle. It is a very clever concept and makes for some nice levels. I felt myself getting better as I played. I played this game for a very long time until I got completely stuck on "0 = 14" and rage quit. How far does the game go? Will you provide hints/solutions?
BTW, if I split 9 into -4, I can get a minus sign that's not leading... this leads to a weird situation where there are few valid moves, and I think it should be impossible.
Innovation: Yep! Very creative.
Theme: Sure.
Graphics: It's very bare-bones, but somehow that's suitable. The rotations are nice.
Humor: Yeah, it's a funny version of arithmetic.
Mood: There isn't a lot of "mood" - I guess it has the "mood" of using a weird calculator.
