It's creative.
But frankly, it's geeky. Not many people can count out prime number larger than 11. So very few people could find what's interesting there....
Thanks for your feedback. It's most definitely geeky
To be honest, I couldn't count out prime numbers when I started this little project. I can now instantly recognize if a number under 200 is prime or not. Not sure that's a terribly useful skill though.
Yeah, it's pretty geeky but I'm sure there's an audience for this sort of game. It seemed fine to me.
I found that the controls worked well and that the way I was to interact with the squares felt intuitive.
A part of me thinks that the game might be more appealing to some people if the timer just kept track of how long they've taken. I was a big fan of a Sudoku app I had on iOS. Getting a certain number wrong meant you failed, so you had to think beforehand, and it just kept track of how long you took to finish the puzzle. I felt determined to beat my times and to never make a mistake. Had the timer been counting down, I think I might have just gotten annoyed because I, like a lot of people, played those sorts of games to relax.
Thanks as well. I'm glad the controls felt right to you, even though it should also be possible to actually swipe the tiles, especially on touch screens, something that hasn't been implemented (yet)
I'm not sure how I could get rid of the time element and still make it an interesting game. It's not designed as a finite puzzle the way sudoku is. On the other hand, the little feedback I got elsewhere tells me the time contraint is too strict and should be relaxed. There should probably be easy/medium/hard settings, with the current difficulty corresponding more or less with hard. With a more slowly decaying time and lighter penalties for mistakes, the easy mode could still be relaxing while staying true to the game's nature.
I found the concept to be interesting.
It was a bit geeky, but nothing wrong with a game being geeky.
In fact, I think it would be nice if it told me more interesting things about prime numbers.
Maybe show some random interesting facts about prime numbers every time the game is over or something.
My score was around 200-300 for my first couple plays.
Thank you too. That trivia idea is fantastic!
IF I ever release this game properly, I'll definitely include that.
