This game plays around with the match 3 formula. Like in most games of its genre, you must connect 3 or more tiles of the same kind in a continuous group. However, you cannot move the tiles in the grid. Instead, you must drag and drop number tiles to change the values of the tiles on the grid.
The number tiles on the third row come in increments of 2, 1 and -1.
Earn coins from leveling up.
Use your coins to buy handy power ups.

Basic rules
Merge groups of three or more identical numbers.
Increase the value of one number adjacent to at least one pair of identical numbers until it is of equal value to the numbers beside it.
Numbers merge in the direction of the last move you made.
This will leave behind spaces which will be covered up by the numbers above them.
New numbers are generated as you merge or remove existing numbers.
Numbers can be merged as long as they are directly connected to each other horizontally or vertically.
Increase or decrease the value of the numbers on the grid using the numbers on the third row.
Each of the numbers consists of positive and negative integers.
Adding a positive number to a number on the grid increases its value.
Adding a negative number to a number on the grid decreases its value.
If the sum of a negative number and a number on the grid is zero (e.g. -1 and 1), the number disappears from the grid.
The numbers below the grid come in values of -1, 1, and 2.
You start a limited amount of these numbers.
Each new session gives you 5 of these numbers.
These numbers are only replenished if you successfully merge a set of numbers.
You lose one of these numbers each time you use them without merging a group.
You can quickly replenish these if you end up merging several number groups in a chain evet caused by a single move.
You also replenish these each time you level up.
If you run out of numbers to merge, it’s game over.
Keep merging numbers for as long as you can.
Scoring
Each number you merge is worth 10 points. The minimum number of points you earn per move is 30.
Numbers that you remove aren’t worth any points at all.
Your high score is updated in real time. Once you beat your previous high score, the high score and current score counters will rise up simultaneously.
Coins and power ups
Leveling up
Every line you clear fills up the level progress bar.
When the bar is filled, you level up.
Your web browser saves your game progress. Each time you restart the game, you always begin at the last level you reached.
Coins
Every time you level up, you receive coins.
Coins can be used to pay for power ups.
Power ups
You can buy 2 types of power ups with the coins you collected:
Bomb: Removes one specific number tile.
Wand: Removes all instances of a number you selected from the field.
You can use power ups as many times as you can afford them.
Tips
Play more aggressively when you have many move tiles remaining and/or are close to leveling up, and play less aggressive when you have only 1 or 2 number tiles remaining.
If you’re in a tight spot, use a power up.
If all you need to get going is to remove a single number tile, use the bomb power up.
If you need a fresh set of number tiles, use the wand power up. Be sure to pick the most common number to maximize the number of new tiles you’ll get.
Don’t wait until you’re out of options before using a power up.
Use negative numbers to get rid of idle number 1 tiles whenever you can.
Try to group higher valued numbers lower on the playing field. If you have an isolated low-valued tile low on the playing field try to reduce it to zero to remove it.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like arithmetic practice games.
The game has no adult themed content.
