Merge 10 - Number Puzzle: is a very innovative math puzzle elimination app. It differs greatly from typical match-3 games, elimination games, and number linking games on the market. It is more fun, and the difficulty is correspondingly higher. This is a new kind of number pairing game that integrates number synthesis and quick math skills. You definitely won't want to miss it! Core Rules: 1. Select a rectangular area, and if the sum of the numbers within that area equals 10, all the numbers in that area will be eliminated! 2. Eliminate as many numbers as possible within a limited time to score higher intelligence points! Although the rules may seem a bit tricky to understand at first, once you start playing, you'll quickly grasp the game's mechanics. The app feels great to play! Especially with our carefully designed tutorial, you'll find it very easy to get the hang of this somewhat quirky elimination game! Two Modes: 1. Play Mode: This is the core feature of the app. The goal is to eliminate as many numbers as possible within the allotted time and earn more intelligence points! After each round, you’ll receive a performance evaluation. Starting from kindergarten, progressing through elementary school, middle school, high school, and university… Only those who have mastered quick math skills and have sharp eyes and quick hands can score more than 100 points! This game is perfect for those who love math puzzles and are eager to challenge themselves! 2. Stage Mode: This is a progressive challenge mode where the difficulty increases with each level. Only players who score 80 or more intelligence points in "Start Game" can enter! The first level is very simple, but the difficulty increases with each subsequent level. Every level’s number calculations and designs challenge your vision, brainpower, and elimination techniques! Very few people have been able to pass level 100. Dare to try? The game offers two tools to help you progress: 1. Hint The hint tool shows you the current playable cards. If you're stuck and can't figure out the next move, you can use this tool to get a hint. 2.
