✦ AI summary
Calcul8² is a free math puzzle game with simple mechanics where players select numbers to reach a target sum, and it can be completed in about 20 minutes. The main criticism is that puzzles frequently have no solutions with no way to mark them as unsolvable, which undermines the puzzle experience, while some players also report UI bugs on Linux and find the core concept unrealistic or oversimplified.

[h1]Free math puzzle game[/h1] I like math puzzles. That's why it's a shame that [i]Calcul8²[/i] does not quite cut it, though it's something okay for a very short session. The idea is that, given a bunch of numbers, you need to pick ones that sum into the given number. Simple, right? [h1]The Flaw[/h1] My main gripe is that the (random, as they are) puzzles do not always have any solutions. This is pretty bad for a puzzle game. This could be amended if there was a button to proclaim the puzzle as unsolvable, and the game would then either give you a win or a lose after checking it for any existing solutions. This (or similar resolution) is missing though. [h1]Fast to complete[/h1] For me, completion (with 100% achievements) lasted 20 minutes. Not too bad for a free game. There's a set of simple achievements for winning enough times in a row, as well as making the sum with X number picks (you can only pick each number once, though there can be duplicates). Quite nice, for the theme! It's not quite enough to alleviate the flaw I described above. Just take that as a warning if you decide to tackle the game anyway. It's free after all.

The game mechanics are bare-bones and simple. And the User Interface is buggy on Linux with images missing and random scrollbar top right.1 found this helpful
Игра 'Calcul8²' — увлекательная головоломка с математической тематикой. Геймплей основан на решении задач через логику и стратегию, что делает её идеальной для развития мышления. Графика минималистична, но яркая, а звуки добавляют атмосферу. Управление интуитивно, но сложность задач быстро растёт, что может отпугнуть новичков. Повторяемость высока благодаря разнообразию уровней, но отсутствие сюжета снижает глубину. Рекомендую тем, кто ценит интеллектуальные вызовы.
That’s not how calculators work in real life. This game is spreadoing fake news.
A puzzle game where the puzzle sometimes has no solution..
