## What is Number War?

Capture a number. Open your next move. In Number War, swipe the yellow tile, grow your power and find a route that collects every number. An easy-looking choice can close the path you need next.

HOW TO PLAY
Move up, down, left or right. In Classic, capture adjacent numbers equal to or lower than your power. Add each number to your power; the tile you leave closes. Order matters as much as strength.

NEW WAYS TO THINK
• Classic: Collect numbers in the right order and clear the board.
• Operations: Arrange addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Finish target levels with exactly the required power.
• Exact: Reach equals-marked tiles with precisely the right power.
• Rethink your route around keys, locks, arrows and rhythm tiles; escape the hunter in chase levels.
• Solve the Daily Challenge for the same calendar date and refine your moves and time.

BIGGER CHALLENGES AFTER LEVEL 500
From level 501, boards grow through nine stages from 8×8 to 16×14: 64 to 224 cells. New attempts combine keys, arrows, rhythm, hazards and power balance in different ways. Some regular levels offer two solvable entrances. The first 500 levels and unfinished games from earlier versions keep their original boards.

GOLDEN LEVELS
Starting at 525, every 25th level is a very hard Golden Level with one verified winning route. You can skip it free with two deliberate taps. Existing points, rights and streak stay intact; skipping grants no win, ranking credit or completion reward.

CHOOSE YOUR CONTROLS
Use Controls to turn swipes, movement buttons, two-finger board panning, camera buttons and the board summary on or off separately. Explore large boards, return to your player or open Inspect. Camera navigation never makes a puzzle move. A short lesson at level 501 introduces the controls. Arrow-key support and Reduce motion in Settings provide more options. A hint that finds no solution spends no hint right.

NEARBY RIVALS AND REAL RANKINGS
Join a separate weekly group of 10 with players near your progress. Empty seats are clearly labeled “Virtual rival.” Virtual progress follows fixed rules; it is not adjusted to push you down the table. See weekly progress summaries and previous results. This group never changes official real-player rankings, league promotion or rewards. Online features need an internet connection.

MILESTONES WORTH KEEPING
Reach level 1000 to claim the Thousand Club gift: an exclusive look, title, 10,000 gift points and hint support. Discover new permanent appearance goals at 1500, 2000 and 3000. Make the game your own with earned styles.

SAVES AND PURCHASES
Core puzzles work offline. The app contains ads and optional in-app purchases. Market points are a spendable balance, separate from ranking scores. Restore Purchases rechecks permanent rights using the same Apple Account; it does not refill spent consumable points.

With an eligible iCloud backup, explicitly restore progress, unfinished boards, existing points and hints, settings and earned looks onto a fresh, untouched iPhone save. Balances are replaced, never added. Ranking identity recovers separately through iCloud Keychain. Continue on one device after transfer; conflicting saves are not automatically overwritten. This is not continuous device synchronization. Selected photos are not backed up and must be chosen again. iCloud delivery and recovery depend on service availability.

Optionally share your own scores and seven achievements with Game Center. Report real players or block them on your device; delete your ranking account in Settings. Optional usage measurement is off on a fresh installation.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.5 — 2026-10-22

• More varied large boards after 500, combining keys, arrows, rhythm, hazards and power balance.
• Improved hints: no hint right spent when no usable solution is found.
• A replayable control lesson at 501 and direct on/off control buttons.
• Separate 10-seat Nearby Rivals groups with clearly labeled virtual rivals, weekly summaries and result history.
• The Thousand Club gift at 1000 and permanent appearance goals at 1500, 2000 and 3000.
• Confirmed iCloud recovery onto an untouched save: existing points/hints, unfinished boards, settings and rewards. Ranking identity uses separate Keychain recovery.
• Visible backup status, conflict protection and retry. Photos do not transfer; permanent purchases are verified separately.
• Improved stability when loading and displaying app open and rewarded ads, including returning to the app.
• Optional Classic puzzle bonus: complete an ad for 100 spendable points, within the shared daily limit; your leaderboard score stays the same.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-10-18

• Plan your moves with new route and number-order puzzles.
• Face monster chases every 20 classic levels, with keys, locks and swapping tiles in later levels.
• Earn mastery badges in your profile and see clearer explanations and tips after a loss.
• Faster level loading, improved save recovery and stronger ranking verification.
• Banner ads have been removed from the game screen.
• A new app icon and a cleaner, easier-to-read leaderboard.

This update preserves existing progress, point balances, purchase entitlements and previous server records.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-10-11

Shared rankings and weekly leagues with real players, reporting, blocking and account-data deletion are now available. Clearly labelled Bot opponents add variety while real players remain visible; weekly promotion and rewards use real-player standings.

Daily Challenge now shows a countdown to the next puzzle and awards 250 points once per completed day. Forbidden squares are introduced with a practice lesson, and generated puzzles receive solvability checks.

Purchase restoration, saved progress and support messages have been improved. Optional usage measurement includes a saved first-launch choice and starts disabled.

Level-end ads are less frequent: after ten classic completions, normal play requires three successful levels and at least three minutes between fullscreen ads. Daily completion skips the level-count rule and keeps the three-minute cooldown.

### 1.1.2 — 2026-10-09

New market with game backgrounds, tile styles, custom photo options, and point packs. Earn points through optional rewarded ads, or choose points with permanent ad-free play. Improved home screen layout and touch controls.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-10-07

Improved offline play. Daily puzzles, Operations and Exact modes unlock after the first three classic levels. Rankings and weekly leagues run as local simulations. Existing progress is preserved. Firebase/Supabase connections and optional usage measurement have been removed, with interface and stability improvements.
