Hasty Counter game

Hi all. I'm 36 and I'm currently learning Godot engine.

I made a small prototype of a game called Hasty Counter. I'm not sure about this name, since I'm not a native English speaker.
I would love to read any suggestions about this game. And I hope you'll enjoy trying it.

The main idea is: to count numbers, and choose between 1 correct and 2 wrong answers.

For the nearest future, I'll polish it as much as I can, and do something like MVP.

Just a small thing: I'm not sure why, but my game/prototype looks different as a HTML version. I'm developing on mac. So the mac build looks like in editor (I think 1:1) but in HTML version everything becomes very small. So I've created a "Control" Node to make everything bigger with code just for HTML build.

Here are some screenshots:

Thank you all!

I think this could be really neat if you could choose what grade level of math you could play on. Also, perhaps the difficulty of the current problem should add a certain amount of time to the countdown. For example, a simple addition problem would at a couple seconds to the timer where simple algebra might add a little more.

Thanks for your feedback. I will definitely use the tips.
I created timer to calculate points: less time spent to answer - more points you'll get. This was my plan for the future update.
Also, regarding difficulty level: I wanted to make game start with only 2 numbers to be added (5 + 6), and add the third one after some time, or some amount of points. And then add other operations, like "subtract, multiply, divide" for even harder levels (2 + 5 / 2).

Oh, alright. Still I think it is neat.

I made something like this (though as a CLI app) recently as a way to practice my own "quick math" skills. I have the code for it over on GitLab.

I've been considering using Godot to make a graphical wrapper around it for on-the-go practice.

Great job on this!
