Every tile on the board holds a number. A single target appears at the top. Your goal is simple: make every tile match it. Use operation cards such as +1, −2, ×2, and ÷3. Each card affects an entire row or column—never just one tile. Swipe a card across the board and every number in that line changes at once. That simple rule creates the challenge. Fix one tile and you may throw another off. The order of your moves determines whether the board falls into place—or falls apart. SOLVED, NOT SHUFFLED Every board is verified by an exact solver before release. The move count shown is not an estimate; it is the true shortest solution. No impossible levels. No filler. EVERY MOVE MATTERS You receive exactly the operation cards required by the shortest solution, with no extras. Waste a move and the game tells you immediately. Undo is free and unlimited. Stars reflect mistakes made while solving. Using hints does not reduce your stars. A REAL DIFFICULTY CURVE Take on 486 levels across five chapters, from Basics to Master. Boards expand up to 6×6. Later, ×3 and ÷3 introduce competing divisibility rules, while locked tiles add another layer of strategy. The final chapter is called Master for a reason. A NEW PUZZLE EVERY DAY Play one new daily board—the same puzzle for every player, available even when you are offline. DESIGNED TO RESPECT YOUR TIME • No account or sign-up • Full offline play • No timers, lives, or energy bars • Available in six languages • Optional hints that are never required to finish a level An optional one-time EQUALIZE PRO upgrade removes automatic ads and grants 60 bonus hints. Optional rewarded ads remain available. Additional hint packs are sold separately. Everything else is complete and playable without spending anything.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: 3volve at none against Equalize's shown. 3volve also leads on iOS requirement (8.1 vs 15.0). Equalize's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
