## What is Sumlings?

Sumlings is a cozy number puzzle where little number-creatures live in a tiny terrarium. Place number eggs into the garden so that each nest adds up to its target number. Get the sum just right and the Sumlings hatch with a happy pop - then they join your collection.

200 PUZZLES ACROSS 4 WORLDS
- World 1 (50 stages): pure sums. Gentle ramp anyone can pick up.
- World 2 (50 stages): "at most" and "at least" nests.
- World 3 (50 stages): "difference" and "times" nests.
- World 4 (50 stages): mixed-rule master gardens.

HOW TO PLAY
- Each level gives you a tray of number eggs.
- Nests on the board show a target number.
- Place eggs so the numbers around a nest add up to its target.
- One egg can help two nests at once - that is the puzzle.
- Make every nest add up and the whole garden blooms. Level clear!

EASY TO LEARN, NICE TO MASTER
- The first ten stages feel breezy by design.
- New rules arrive one at a time so you grow with the puzzles.
- A gentle difficulty curve for kids and grown-ups alike.

SO SATISFYING
- Every nest that adds up hatches a Sumling with light and sound.
- Solve several at once for a chain bloom with combo text and screen flash.
- Fill your collection - 9 unique Sumlings to discover.
