Nice little Game,

Some levels you need to calculate more,
But not to hard

Best wishes for 2022 Bart

Have to agree - this is utterly tedious.

Most awesome game ever should win goty awards in every category imaginable!

I am enjoying the challenge. I don't have a particularly good mind for either strategy or math, so it's slow going. But the video provided gives hints (I only watch when I need to, and stop right as soon as the "aha!" comes), but on those rare occasions when I figure it out myself, it feels great!

I suspect that the complainers, like me, are not so good at strategy or math. Try a video hint, guys.

I liked it indeed - level 24 is quite amusing - I had to draw the solution on a paper...
The whole thing is not too difficult, and the gameplay quite creative. I was just confused by some surprising differences on what can or can't disappear - the rule was not 100% clear to me.
Thx

This is a great game. Well done.

Wrong, anon. I'm bored because it's too easy.

a12r13, agreed on the rules not being clear. For example level 23 starts with a row 222, and you get rid of them with a single 2. But it also has a block of 9's, and they do not disappear on a single 9.

Ah, I think I see how level 23 works. You have to match an entire row or column of blocks. So the single 2 is matching the three columns 2, 2, 2, not the row 222. The block of 9's is 999 in both rows and columns.

Level 21 has something similar, where you have to get rid of one of the columns of the 3x3 block of 246 so you can work on the smaller rows.

That's because read *vertically*, the 2s can be seen as a single token

The block of 9s cannot be made into a token of "9" when read in either direction

Oh, I also thought the rule is not consistent, but that is not usual from R. Alvarez... So I was sure I just don't understand something. :-) Thank you for explaining, Anonymous yesterday 21:30!

I enjoyed this as all of his games, I had the feeling this was a bit easier than usual, but that doesn't mean it is not entertaining. It is a good feeling if I can solve a puzzle within reasonable time.

Block pushing puzzle and math?! YAY! This is so fun. Really enjoy the clever idea and appreciate the overall look and the animation of the 'cursor'. Memorizing all those times tables way back when put to good use! : ) Thanks, Robert & Bart.
