The Math You Don't See
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
📘 About the Game
The Math You Don’t See is a short, playful platformer inspired by the idea that mathematics isn’t just numbers in a textbook, or isn’t always something you solve — sometimes it’s something you walk through, and it’s everywhere, quietly shaping the world around us.
You move from left to right through minimal, math-inspired environments that quietly reference the kinds of structures, symmetries, and patterns we interact with every day without noticing.
No formulas. No puzzles. Just movement, vibes, and the invisible math underneath simple actions.
🎮 Controls
-
← / → or A / D — Move left & right
-
↑ / ↓ or W / S — Change equation variables (for interactive colours)
Movement is simple. Interactions are soft.
The focus is on the feeling of math, not the difficulty.
🗺️ Levels
- Level 1 — Sydney: Linearity
A simple horizon where hidden structure reveals itself.
- Level 2 — Reykjavík: Symmetry
A divided landscape held together by balance.
- Level 3 — Paris: Curvature
A sweeping arch that bends into place through an unseen equation.
