Number Blocks is a logic game inspired by Sudoku, Suguru, Tectonics, Ripple Effect and Kakuro. This number placement puzzle game will test your deduction skills and test your wits as you progress through the game. Hundreds of levels will keep you entertained for hours and perfect for brain training. It's great for all logic puzzle aficionados as the difficulty starts off easy and progresses to extreme puzzles that will take you time to solve and may even require help. Each puzzle is completely solvable but will be a brain workout. The objective of Number Blocks is to fill colored squares with numbers to complete the puzzle. Much like Sudoku, the puzzle is not complete until each square is filled with a number. It sounds much easier than it is. To start, you are shown a grid of colored squares. Your goal is to fill each square with a number for the puzzle to be complete. Squares sharing the same color are considered a 'group'. Each 'group' must contain one number per square and they can’t repeat. For example, if there are 3 red squares in a group then numbers 1, 2 and 3 must be placed in their own red square. Some squares will be prefilled with correct numbers. Prefilled locked numbers will be displayed by a dark circle. One important rule to remember... numbers in neighboring squares must be different in all directions including diagonally. Now lets discuss a little more about the game play. Each group of colored squares will contain between 1 to 5 squares per group. You will see that numbers 1 to 5 will be present at the bottom of the game play screen. You will use numbers 1 to 5 to fill in the empty colored squares. When you click on a square in the grid it will highlight which numbers can be placed in that group. If the group contains a prefilled number then that number will not be highlighted as an option to use to complete the group. Each different group you click on will display different numbers that are able to be used in that group. After you click a square, simply click the number you want to input in the square. If you decide to change the number you can click the same number again to remove it or select another number to replace the current number in the square. As you progress in the game less and less prefilled numbers will be provided in the puzzles to make it much harder. You are also given a few tools to help you along the way to solve all of the logic puzzles. There is a notes function like you find in Sudoku to help you place notes in squares in case you are unsure of what number should go in each square. Notes in squares will help you deduce what numbers make sense to complete the puzzle based on other surrounding numbers you have already placed. When you are done using notes, you can turn them off or delete them with the trash icon. If you also find yourself going down the wrong path you can use the undo button or simply reset the grid to take a fresh new path. You also have hints that you can use to fill in squares that you need a little extra help with. Hints are a great way to put you over the top to complete the puzzle. Here's a little cheat sheet of important reminders to solve the puzzles... 1. Each square must contain a number. 2. Squares that have the same color are part of a group. 3. Each group can only use a number once. 4. If the group has 4 squares then it will contain numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4. 5. Neighboring squares cannot be the same number including diagonals. 6. Squares containing a dark circle are locked and cannot be changed. 7. Fill all squares to complete the puzzle. The game contains customizable color palettes for the squares to enhance your overall game experience. We hope that you will find the right combination that works for you. :) If you enjoy the game and would like to support our work you can review the app on the store and spread the word.
