Об этой игре

Hi! I’m a solo developer, and I built Every Step Counts because I wanted to prove that "educational" games don’t have to be boring. My goal was simple: create a place where you can relax, solve some math problems, and accidentally get sharper at math and logic while you're at it.

The game is currently a collection of three distinct mini-games. I’m launching in Early Access because I want to add more modes later, but the core experience is ready for you to play right now.

Here is what you can expect:

Ouroboros: Every Step Counts

The first game is Ouroboros, a calm but tricky puzzle starring a snake with terrible eyesight. You are the designated navigator. Armed with a calculator, your job is to guide your snake friend’s every step to eat the apple, grow longer, and eventually capture the whole grid.

You’ll need to add, subtract, multiply, and divide to reach the target. The riskier the operation, the higher your score reward. It’s not about doing complex calculus; it’s about looking ahead and planning the perfect path. It starts easy, but you might find yourself staring at the screen for a good minute trying to figure out the only way to win.

Brainy Cashier: Every Change Counts

If you want something faster, I made a mode that puts you behind a cash register. The premise is simple: all the store's calculators are broken, so you the mathematician have been drafted to save the sales day.

The line moves fast, and you need to calculate totals and hand out exact change before the customers get annoyed. If you take too long, they get angry and your score tanks. It’s a rush, and it really tests how well you can handle mental math under pressure.

Code the Math: From Formula to Function

This is for the thinkers. Instead of just answering questions, you build the solution. You are given inputs and a goal, and you have to code the logic to create a function that solves the equation.

Often, a single line of code is all you need to solve the problem, if you can find the right one. There are currently over 20+ levels included, each designed to test your ability to translate pure mathematics into working code.

One Score for Everything

I connected them all with a system called Knowledge Points (KP).

Whether you are solving a slow logic puzzle or rushing through the cashier mode, everything you do earns you KP. This score is tracked on a global leaderboard, so you can see how you stack up against other players. It’s just a fun way to track your progress as you get better.

I’m working on this game alone, so your feedback really matters. If you have ideas for new math mini-games or features, let me know in the community forums or Discord Server!

Thanks for checking out my game.
