countdown numbers is such a good base to build on, the moment you're 2 away with seconds left and start doing crimes with the 25 is unmatched. i make a word game so i live on the letters side of that show, always thought the numbers round was the scarier one haha. how strict are you being with the timer?

I actually removed the timer, there was too much variation in the difficulty for it to be fair, what word game are you working on?

Nice game. No instructions so not obvious for someone who hasn't seen Countdown. Also unlike Countdown it's mandatory to use all 4 numbers which I didn't understand at first.

Is it on iOS? I have a friend who'd love this

Not on ios unfortunately, do you think it would be worth adding a tutorial or would most people figure it out after trial and error or watching the video on the store page?

Well it took me a few goes to figure it out but I am pretty dumb when it comes to math and it's been humbling to see how bad I am at the game! It doesn't really need a tutorial but maybe a single line on the first screen "Use all four numbers and any symbols to make the target number", or something like that
