Looking forward to seeing the final result, looks very interesting so far.

How complex do the functions get, does it end up getting into (pre)calculus or anything like that?

That's hilarious, like scorched earth on a cartesian plane. I hope math teachers catch on to this.

Please please change the text bubble font. Comic Sans (and derivatives) in this age is just..no.

Can't you just change it yourself? Change the stylesheet in your web browser.

I think the Show HN is a bit premature, you won't get much useful feedback when it's not really playable yet

You can also code the entire game in your web browser yourself, but that wasn't the point of the comment.

i recall seeing something similar a long time ago, with a very similar name, and found it via HN search: sineridergame.com — https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8615416

and it looks like you own the domain and route it to sinerider.com now? Are you affiliated with the creater from 8 years ago or did they abandon it? The game seems somewhat distinct though obviously similar. Did you ever interact with that game?
