I didn't care about the characters. so just did iterative +1 and +x everywhere

#22This looks pretty but it's very confusing and I have no idea what it wants from me. It says 'click here!' so I did but nothing came of it.
You don't click on 'click here' but the 't' nearby (which i noticed renders off screen on my phone but not on my computer).

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seeing how the shape of the mountain IS the path of the sled, how does changing the shape of the mountain NOT change the path for you?
The path is flat by default, and mostly flat by initial expression. So it might not strike someone that the shape of the path is a mountain shape. Perhaps "the shape of a path down a mountain" would make everyone happy.
the first example shows multiple curves in the path. Did not press past that as it was obvious to me what the game was going to be and I didn't have time to play games. If there is something after that starting with a flat plane, how did one get there and not see the curved example?

#24Doesn't seem to work on Chrome on OSX. I see a sort of LineRider-esque game screen, with an equation Y=(some math) at the bottom middle, and a button that just says "click here!" at the bottom right. There's also a mountain and a gear at upper right and upper left respectively. Clicking on the button that says "click here!" has no effect. Clicking on the equation allows me to change it; this changes the slope of the…

#25This is perfect for middle school kids to understand functions. How do you zoom on the big map though?
Thank you!! I recommend taking a look at the later levels, it goes beyond a middle-school level of complexity! I have seen everyone from graduate students to tenured math professors to Grant Sanderson get stumped by late-game SineRider. It doesn't really fit neatly into any specific age group or "grade level"
The map should zoom with scroll, is that not working?

#26Oh hey, that's my game! I am so pleased you are enjoying it. This is a remake of a game I first published way back in 2014. This version was built by team of 22 high-schoolers from around the world, recruited through Hack Club (https://hackclub.com), where I have worked since 2018.
For anyone who just wants a sense of what the game is like without the fuss of playing it, here is the launch trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35nDYoIwiA8

Perhaps it's something to do with my touchpad scrolling that makes it not work

It doesn't seem to work, though, no matter how many times i click on 'click here' or in what browser.

Thanks for your great work!
I like the drawing and music very much!
