Is Team SCU past its prime? Not anymore! Presenting Prime Numbers, the game that puts the “visible” in “divisible”. Now with an updated soundtrack!
Use your primal instincts to survive this distracting number-theory madness. Don’t let the ever-increasing challenges bring you down. Stay compositive!
This game features a unique visualization of prime numbers. An even more useful one may be the Ulam Spiral (you learn something new every day!)
For the best experience:
This is a short mini-game, and your score doesn’t matter. Mainly just see if you can keep up with the messages in the corner as you play. Hint: as a surprise to many, the number 1 is not prime!
Post-Game Checklist: (For the interested player)
- Easy secret: Did you find Old Team?
- Medium secret: Did you discover the hidden screen-warping visual effects?
So what’s with the intro?:
Prime Numbers was made in 2018 in about 1-2 days. It was pretending to be a different game with the word “Prime” in the title, but as a joke it revealed itself to be this mini-game instead. While it now exists on its own terms, this 2025 re-release was still published as a mystery download in order to honor the spirit of that original surprise.
