Nerds Save The World
Ever had to save the world with your crush?
Pythagora is a small-town college magical girl. Her secret identity, Sofia, is a math student at the local college bent on becoming a college math professor. She's the weakest member of her magical girl team and often feels different from the rest due to the mathematical basis of her powers. Never in a million years did she imagine that saving the world would fall on her.
When things go wrong and the Shadow Lord seems to have all but triumphed, Sofia has to try to save the world. She gets lucky and runs into Daedelus, a local superhero. But, when his helmet is knocked off by a foe, she immediately realizes: He's her crush. Lukas. From Calc. Now, Sofia has to figure out her feelings while in the middle of saving the world.

I absolutely love the concept for this game. It's very creative and hilarious and I like the character designs. The comic word action bubbles also add a lot of charm. I think it'll be incredible with some more polish and voice acting :D
So issue. The game is really good and I love the storyline, but when you get to like the flashback of talking to Lucas, the game gets laggy. awesome story overall though.
Are you playing in the web? I recommend downloading the game to reduce lag. The web build will nearly always have additional lag because it uses a progressive loading mechanism, rather than downloading upfront. Thank you for the compliment!
