ok gang, here's the prototype: www.andrewt.net/stuff/ophex/

the game is: you start with seven numbers, and every time you "use" one of the 12 operators, two of your numbers combine into one. (if you use a minus or a divide it will ask you what direction you want to do it in). the aim is to combine all your numbers to make the target

the prototype does NOT check that the puzzle is solvable, but from trial runs it seems like it's overwhelmingly likely that it will be in like hundreds of ways

i'm thinking the social-media-friendly sharable stat for this one is how often you had to click "restart" (or "undo" but the prototype doesn't have undo either)

what do we think? would this be a good daily game? is it too easy? too hard? is it boring? does it fill you with an inexplicable sense of ennui, as if somehow you realise at the moment of completion that you are but an insignificant speck of dust falling through an unfeeling universe?
