Animals rampaging in town, unusually large ones (please help)

Project URL: https://subdue-them.glitch.me/

It’s been a while since I posted in gallery about something not entirely meta-Glitch-related, but here we are.

Cross posting some info from my website https://wh0.github.io/2024/08/06/subdue-them.html:

You ever see those game ads where you fight enemies based on simple number comparisons, and there’s also powerups that e.g. double your power etc.? I wondered, can a game in that format actually be hard?

Kind of, I think. At least without using a calculator.

P.S., guess who spent the better part of 25 project hours programming CSS animations :face_with_spiral_eyes:

How many tries will it take for you to win? :blush:

Cheated my way through the boss with a few logpoints and using assignments of Infinity as expressions…

SPOILER: the truck dances when you win. that’s it. :stuck_out_tongue:

you gotta be strategic about the multipliers - you want to try to save the larger ones for when you have bigger numbers so there’s bigger impact.

lost count but I’ll get there

I love this! It’s trickier than you think. I thought that I was on the right track, but…

… not even close!

Thanks for sharing @wh0

I go for a slightly different tactic with the mulipliers: I look at how much I habe and how much I need, and figure out the smallest combination of multipliers I can use to get there - which sometimes involves using larger individual multipliers for a smaller total

First try :wink:

Either you made the game easier, or I’m just good at math…

sometimes, while I’m still preparing to fight the boss, I accidentally click it (I’m on mobile) and loose the entire game, having to reset with new random odds :frowning:

I always need one more multiplier, have never won it :sob:

ooh lucky game
