Dear Seekers,

The game is ready to teach anyone quantum with 0 background in algebra or anything. Game is almost done and we are preparing for Full Launch.

🚀 Full Release Status

  • No longer feels like an Early Access title

  • Content ~99% complete

    • Over 56 patches so far, it became super hard to find something new I'd like to patch now

    • Improved learning curve based on a year of analytics!!

    • Major refinements to reduce cognitive overload

    • If you tried it early, now is the perfect time to return. You can reset your account!

  • Stable & polished

    • No known bugs (but feel free to go on a bug hunt)

We've been working on this patch for over a year now. This ties up content that we asked many of you on Discord to test on our development branches and so far so good. It's a scary moment for us to launch this, since we are a small team and the content is so vast that it has become simply impossible to test everything. If you find a bug doing anything in the game, please immediately let us know!

The game has been designed around user interaction, so to make it work entirely offline took some work (and now on macOS too!). We decided eventually to go with something that maximizes your experience and brings you no hassle. Pretty much your internet connection does not disturb your gameplay experience. If your net goes down game continues working offline, the moment your net is back up everything comes back to normal (puzzle metrics and so on, you won't lose any progress).
