10 - a Puzzle Made of Numbers

IOJOE

A puzzle game that’s all about the number 10.

It’s perfect for puzzle game fans who enjoy simple yet challenging gameplay.

$1.99 $1.99
Why we picked this?

This puzzle game will really get your brain juices flowing. Numbers are scatted all around the grid. It’s up to you to slide them together to add them up to 10. You can not exceed 10, and you are required to use all of the number tiles on the board to complete each level. As you progress, other factors like blocked out grid pieces and tiles that reduce your total will be added, making it rather difficult to complete all 300 levels. Hopefully you’re up for the challenge!

If you like logic puzzle games, you’ll love 10. It utilizes the tried and true sliding puzzle game mechanic to reel you in, and then stomps out all hope with its challenging gameplay.

If you don’t like to be challenged, skip 10. It ramps up in difficulty relatively quickly, and doesn’t offer any hints, which means once you’re stuck you’ll stay stuck.
