Hey nice job. I think you should add a timer. The faster you answer the question, the greater the hit. It’s a nice challenge code-wise and adds a little stress to the game, as us dads can’t realistically subtract 19 from 56 in less than 4 seconds.

It would have been a great game in 1998 when plain javascript was what everyone was using.

But OP has clearly put a lot of effort in and still gotten not-great results because they aren't making use of more modern tooling (game engines etc) to turn each hour of effort into more productivity.

The scorpion is not very good at math (lucky for me!) progress bar for my charge level (or change color of attack once it’s charged) would help and a more readable color scheme.

Keep it up! Just don’t add micro-transactions :P
