Math is often presented as something linear. Something black and white. Where a question is presented, and only one correct answer can follow.

I see math as a highly creative and strategic subject, and I belive that this is the part that makes math fun, and that highlights the extreme potential for utility that math represents.

As a game designer I work on games trying to bring optionality, creativity, and the feeling of utility to math. So that we get to play with math, and use it to solve problems, not just to act as calculators. Games are about making choices, and then having the opportunity to experiment the consequences of these choices. I design games that let players experience the consequences of their mathematical actions.

I would love to connect with math educators who are curious to figure out how we together can help spread the joy of math, to all those who struggle to see the beauty in the field.

These are the stats on the playtime in our Steam demo. Would love to hear inputs from other devs on how you might interpret these numbers.

1 - Is the first 10 minute drop a problem, or just what you normally expect?
2 - Does median time played of 40 minutes give any indication of how we should expect the game to convert to sales on launch?
3 - The players with more that 200 minutes of playtime, should we assume they like the game, or that they fell asleep and forgot to turn the computer off?
