First one of these games where I was hooked and wanted to beat the villain. The added but achievable effort of math was awesome. Sending this to my 10yr old nephew. Some people have mentioned how we aren't sure when weapons are charged, maybe extra animation there would be useful. Also, the villain and I beat each other at the same time (I think?). So the screen after was just: "you win refresh to go againyou lose refresh to try again.you win refresh to go againyou lose refresh to try again."

Charging isn't clear. Somebody documented how it works: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42312807

So the game is actually turn based but the turns are not currently enforced. If you dont play by taking turns, then some weird things can happen like what you see on win/lose section.
