HomeWork Is Crazy turns the familiar strain of primary-school homework into a puzzle game. You revisit the perspective of a Chinese elementary student, working through school questions while facing pressure from parents. Its premise gives routine assignments a playful but uncomfortable edge: solving the work is tied to the prospect of graduating successfully.
The game spans grades one through six, with a final exam required to unlock the next grade. Questions become varied mini-puzzles rather than conventional worksheets, including fill-in-the-blank, line-connecting, answer-selection, and drag-and-drop tasks. The subjects range across language, mathematics, music, and art, so progress means tackling different kinds of challenges, not just repeating one question format.
Crayon-pencil artwork lends the game a simple, colorful look, set against deliberately “brainwashing” music. Mistakes or spending too long on a puzzle can bring parental taunts, adding another source of pressure to each attempt.
