Reviews for "Number Ninjas"
Good game, last bit is vexing!
Love this game. It takes the problem solving platform to a place I've never seen before. Finding the solution to the math problem plus finding the solution to make that solution possible. I am stuck on 18 atm...I'd kill for a clue. haha! It has a few bugs but it's very enjoyable overall.
I WAS having fun, but...
I can't remember the level number, but when you're trying to calculate 0 from 8 and there's a giant water wheel, I managed to get myself stuck under the wheel, which then turned my screen into the green background.
Other than that, the game was terrific. Great original concept, I did enjoy it if not for the few bugs and occasionally tricky moment.
Great concept, well executed, a little buggy.
Loved it! Great concept, great art. 8/10.
Bug: level 19, I did the following: "x 8", "- 6", "+ 1" (the left-hand 1, using the "+" from the right-hand 1), then picked up the "x" & tried to throw it to the left (where the 1 had been a moment before) and (seemingly) it struck and killed an invisible 1, adding a "x 1" to my equation, and leaving me with 2 numbers and only 1 symbol. I was able to reproduce this bug, and then picked up the last "+' and threw it at the same spot & had the same result ("+ 1" added to my equation, and the symbol was gone).

Bug: It's occasionally possible to throw symbols into walls in a non-retrievable way. At other times, it is retrievable but it cannot be seen.
Bug: It's occasionally possible to fall out of the level.
One of the jumps on level 14 (to reach the 8's platform from the right side) was annoyingly difficult. It didn't seem to get easier with practice either, just seemed kind of random or ridiculously precise. In general, as many other reviews has suggested, the controls / hitboxes could use a little refinement.
The last level (boss) was a little random for me -- I couldn't discern any pattern in the changes in the enemy number -- aside from the fact <spoiler> that it seemed to be a fixed sequence, unaffected by your number or the sign you used: 3284597... </spoiler>
Difficulty settings would be a nice addition. In general, I think the earlier levels remained easy for too long.
A level editor would be awesome.
My biggest request / suggestion: release the source on GitHub! I'd love to get this in the hands of people creating education software!
