Mathloop is the mathematical puzzle game inspired by British game show Countdown.

Plan your moves ahead and adapt to randomness.
Is Mathloop also a roguelike? Of course it is —  it's 2025.

Full Rules (sorry if in-game tutorials weren't clear enough!)

  • Your goal: In each loop, reach the target and then return to the start of the loop.
  • Loop ends: Only when all your numbers have been used.
  • Gameplay and conrols:
    • You need to form 3 pairs of action + number. You do that by choosing one of three drawn numbers (white buttons), and one of 6 possible actions (add, subtract, multiply, divide and discard and return to the deck) in any order. 
    • You can cancel your selection by pressing Esc. 
    • You can reassign actions as much as you want before pressing Confirm button
    • Each turn requires one and only one mathematical operation
    • With 3 numbers, perform an operation with one, then either discard or return the other two
    • With 2 numbers, use one for the operation, then discard or return the other
    • With 1 number, perform a mathematical operation on it directly
  • Scoring system:
    • +1 coin for each digit (power of 10) in your highest score
    • +3 coins for reaching the target
    • +5 coins for reaching the bounty, an optional target that you can purchase
  • Coins are both lives and currency for upgrades
  • Difficulty settings can be changed when restarting the game
  • Game has 9 levels to beat.
