$6.99Calculate It
A roguelike where your weapon is a calculator. You buy strange buttons, stack passive upgrades, and hit each target number in as few turns and charges as possible. Bosses rewrite the rules mid-run, so a build that felt clever can need a rethink. Short, sharp, and easy to run again.

Building a calculator that breaks math
You start each round with a target number and a handful of buttons. Then you shop: reverse numbers, replace digits, take square roots, swap your result with the target. You drop in a button that recharges the others when coins land, and suddenly the whole machine ticks differently. Pick a calculator with its own quirk, widen the casing, and tune the passive upgrades to match. One good purchase can turn a struggling setup into something that hums.
Bosses, charges, and tight turn counts
Charges are limited, and fewer turns mean more coins, so every press counts. Bosses make it harder by disabling buttons, raising charge costs, or hiding your display. You hold back a useful tool for the boss, then improvise when your favorite combo stops working. Between runs there are odd challenges: a calculator that loses a button each round, timed races, operations behind alchemical symbols, or a climb from one to ten thousand. Winning unlocks more buttons, harder difficulties, and Endless Mode.
What else should you know?
How does a round actually work?
Each round hands you a target number. You press your buttons to reach it, spending charges with each move, and the game pays more coins when you solve it in fewer turns. Those coins go straight back into new buttons and passive upgrades before the next target arrives.
What do passive upgrades do?
They bend the economy of the run. Some pay coins for hitting certain numbers, some recharge buttons when coins arrive, some restore glass buttons after a round. The trick is picking ones that feed your specific buttons instead of working against them.
Can you keep playing after you win?
Yes. A won run unlocks new buttons and passive upgrades plus higher difficulties, and Endless Mode lets you carry a working build forward to see how long the math holds together.
