Game Play
Levels
At the beginning of the game, you start at the first level.
You can play only the most recent level you’ve completed.
If you play through all 50 levels, you can save your score to the leaderboard.
The grid starts of as a 3 x 3 square.
The grid increases in size every few levels, making the later levels more challenging as you must glance through a grid with many more blocks in it to find the correct sum.
3×3, which is the game default, has 9 blocks.
4×4, which starts at level 6, has 16 blocks.
5×5, which starts at level 11, has 25 blocks.
6×6, which starts at level 21, has 36 blocks.
7×7, which starts at level 31, has 49 blocks.
8×8, which starts at level 41, has 64 blocks.
Basic rules and scoring
Your job is to select the numbers to form the target sum before the timer runs out.
Your score per target sum is determined by the following factors:
How many numbers you used to reach the sum
How fast you assembled the sum
If you fail to form a sum and you run out of time, it’s game over.
This game allows you to continue a prior game if you quit between levels, but if you miss the timer only once it is game over and back to level one.
You can save your final score to the leaderboard if you reach a game over.
As you increase your level to higher levels with more blocks it can be helpful to use many low numbered blocks early in the level so that you clear out many of the blocks and have fewer blocks to search through to find the next match.
