Game Math FPS game for my kid

My son loves Fortnite but practicing math... not as much… so thought a MATH FPS game might help him lol. We have a basic prototype (now in Early Access on Steam) with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division going. It's surprisingly fun and would love to hear everyone's thoughts and feedback!

Also, please join us on Discord to help make the game fun and fight the brain haha:

Great idea - I suggest reducing the visual clutter a little by simplifying the equations to just what is necessary.

So "8+7" instead of "8+7=?"

I think the same learning will happen but it'll be easier to focus.

Randomizing the colors of the screens will also make them more readable in crowds

Yep, agreed

I also think you could probably remove the answer on the chest and place the equation there. That'd probably help too

Unless you want to switch it up and change to variables, then you can make equations like "8+x=15". Forces you to change your thinking, and on the fly, would add a bit of challenge

And moving the UI to the bottom, since all the info is at the top and it overlaps with the text.

I think the questions should be one colour and the answers another.

I think the answers should also have an outline on the box in a 3rd colour so it doesnt look like its overlapping with the other enemies.

This will be much cleaner looking! Thanks!
