Fun, great concept.

Getting an error for pressing the addition button "2+" is a bit confusing.

Yeah it was confusing. Idea is to press first and the last number of the equation as far as I have understood. UX is wonky but I love such math challenges so it’s all cool.

Hey yeah so you need a full expression (at the least, a start number, operator, and end number) for it to be a valid highlight. Will try to make the instructions more clear for this

Could you change it so pressing the operator is a no op then? That way, press it or not, the result is the same.

Even knowing the instructions, I'm finding it very difficult not to press the operator tiles, as it just feels like a natural thing to do.

Love the game BTW, I'm getting my son on this tomorrow too, he'll love it :)

Yup added this to the todos. Thanks for playing and appreciate the feedback!
