Hello HN,

I wanted to share a web game that I had made called Zero Sum. To play, you need to highlight sequences of numbers that sum up to zero. Longer sequences are worth more points.

Link to the game: https://pensivetoucan.github.io/Zero-Sum/

Would appreciate your feedback!

Pretty fun. Suggestion to increase the timer with each successful submission as a reward. Also, when the player highlights all tiles on the board the game becomes a dead end and must be restarted.

That's an interesting game mode that I hadn't considered, sort of like a move increment in chess. I'll look into that.

Whenever you highlight one or more tiles, ideally you should be able to click outside of the number grid to clear the highlights. Do let me know if that didn't work for you. I think I can call attention to the game play instructions on the website a bit better as well though.

Thanks for the feedback!
