- Game type
- Number-merge puzzle on a hexagon grid
- Goal
- Link chains of matching numbers to merge them into bigger numbers and build up your score.
- Controls we used
- Mouse or touch drag: press on a hexagon and drag through neighbouring hexagons with the same number, then release. The in-game help explains it: 2-2 makes 4, 2-2-4 makes 8.
- On a phone (390px test)
- Likely – the whole 5-column grid fitted the 390px portrait screen at a comfortable size. We tested the drag itself with a desktop mouse.
- Load time
- Under half a second – one of the lightest games we tested.
- Difficulty
- Easy to learn; the challenge is planning longer chains. There is no timer that we saw.
- In-game ads
- Yes – the GameMonetize video-ad system (Google IMA) loads with the game.
- How a session plays
- A plain purple screen with Play and Help buttons, then a grid of 2s and 4s. Dragging down through three 2s merged them, scored 3 points and dropped new hexagons in from the top. It is an endless, relaxed chain-building game.
Our verdict: Minimal and very fast to load; a good calm number puzzle, though the plain look may not hold everyone for long.
How we test: we open the game in a desktop browser and in a 390px-wide phone view, time how long it takes to load, play through the opening level or round and note exactly what we saw. We only write down things we observed. More about our testing.
