## What is Pivots?

Pivots is a game about racing the clock to add rows and columns of numbers to 15. It uses a unique new mechanic of rotating 2x2 squares in a larger 5x5 grid of numbers. Find patterns, add the numbers, and rotate to score high. If you like sudoku you'll love Pivots.

As you get matches you add time to the clock to keep going, failed moves will subtract time. As you progress, each level speeds up the clock and adds a multiplier to your scoring. Race against the clock and see how far you can go.

### 3/5 — My brain doesn't think like that

*2015-04-28*

It's not the fault of the game, but even though I'm good with numbers I'm not very good at this game.

### 5/5 — Whoa. Get your brain on!

*2015-03-01*

Awesome game if you like to think hard and fast!! It's difficult-but not so much that it isn't great fun! Thanks for making this!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2015-02-28*

Great game for all.

### 4/5 — Love the Game

*2015-02-25*

This is such an addicting game to play. It's super fun and intense. My only issue with it is that when you hit the button to re-arrange the numbers, it, on most occasions, takes away closer to 50% of the time you have left on the clock rather than 33% of time. Also, sometimes, not as often, it won't re-arrange any of the numbers but still dock you time.
