0-No

 A math strategy game where every choice grows your score, but any zero inside your total gets deleted. Can you calculate quick enough?

In 10 Seconds

  • Goal: Reach the highest score possible.
  • How: Pick 1 of 3 buttons each turn to add that number to your score.
  • Twist: If your score contains a 0, that digit disappears (e.g., 103 → 13, 120504 → 1254).
  • Modes: Endless mode + Timed mode.

Key Mechanics

  • Three random options per turn create constant decision-making and resource management.
  • Zero deletion rule adds volatility and long-term planning.
  • Mode structure:
    • Timed: fast decision pressure, short-term optimization
    • Endless: long-term planning, risk management

Design Highlights

  • Turn-based tension from a simple rule: "Addition" becomes strategy once digits matter.
  • Risk vs reward: large gains are tempting but can introduce zeros that erase progress.
  • Readable mental model: the rule is weird, but easy to understand and immediately testable.
