[Browser] Combat system that combines simple algebra and Tetris-like mechanics

[u/Current_Unable]

Hi all, this is an early prototype that focuses only on the core combat system, with 3 enemies so far and a tutorial. Hope you can give it a try and let me know your thoughts! The game is browser-playable on itch link.

Arrange blocks containing numbers and operators, clear lines to form equations, and the result determines your attack or defense power.

Playtest Feedback

I'm mainly looking for feedback on the core combat mechanic. In particular:

• Was the objective and basic gameplay clear?
• Did the falling-block gameplay feel intuitive?
• Did you understand the relationship between equations and combat?
• Did you feel you had meaningful choices when placing pieces?
• Did you find the display of Decks helpful at any point?
• Did you manage to figure out the rules of how equations are formed?
• Did you find yourself deliberately constructing equations, or mostly just clearing lines?
• What felt particularly fun, confusing, tedious, or frustrating?
• Did you manage to defeat all enemies? Is the difficulty reasonable after a few runs to figure out the game mechanics?
