I’ve been working on something a little... different.

I wanted to create a game that felt like the covers of my old school folders. Messy, hand-drawn stuff filled with the kind of math problems that used to give me nightmares. The result is ZERO SUM.

It’s a roguelite twin-stick shooter where every shot is a calculation. You carry Operators (Plus, Minus, Modulo, Sigma and more) instead of guns, and every enemy is a literal number trying to overwhelm you with its value.

It’s a "scratchy-pencil" roguelite where there are no health bars, only raw arithmetic violence. You’ll fight through different kinds of notebook sketches, using a mathematical arsenal to survive.

From the Euler Owl to the Prime Sieve Spider, the bosses are designed around a mathematical concept. I hope you’ll love the mental-math-chaos of this one.
