About this game
An evil calculator has its normal arithmetic operators replaced with sadistically obscure functions. Using logic and a bit of algebra, you must work backwards to interpolate them and purge the calculator of its demons. This new, non-profit calculator game by the creator of Synonymy is sophisticated, and challenging.
Non-profit and open-source, The Devil's Calculator is a highly original indie game that's as addicting as it is educational. Accessible to numberphiles and math novices alike, the first 20+ levels are 100% free to play and enjoy.
Each level has you decipher the function of a mysterious operator and use it to calculate the number of the beast to progress. Advanced graphing mechanics, countless features and simple, yet innovative level design provide considerable depth to the gameplay. Players unlock the ability to create their own levels and play challenges others have created - including free DLC levels crafted by the game's creators, educators and mathematicians. With hand drawn artwork and a charming story, the Devil's Calculator is a genuinely fun and gratifying puzzle experience.

A good game and an interesting concept. I would recommend it. Pros: Hours and hours of enjoyable math problems. Integrated links to a real calculator and to Wolfram Alpha, so it doesn't feel like cheating to use those resources. Cons: The difficulty ramps up too slowly. The in-game unpossessed calculator is clunky and awkward, especially when chaining operations. The possessed calculator is very finicky, which is explainable in universe but still a point against it's gameplay.

Fun puzzle game all about numerals. I enjoy the non-algebraic puzzles, always a fun realization. The built-in normal calculator isn't great, it fails to register button inputs a lot, and it doesn't let you chain calculations together like you would expect. Also, the note taking screen doesn't let you set your cursor, so it's much better to have a pen and paper on hand when you play.

the game is fun so far, although a bit wonky/unresponsive here and there. i am wondering how i get the free upgrade?(im a student) and if the game is also free for students on steam. edit: it was really easy to get the key with my student email, so nevermind! I will say this though, i wish the game ran a bit better on mobile, as that'd be my preferred way to play. It's not that bad really, just a bit slow. Eg when I tap buttons, they aren't immediately reactive. Other than that, great game.
