About

Nummm

Features
Read full description

Nummm is a relaxed number-matching game about patterns, flow, and satisfying clears. Lines can run horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—even across gaps—with horizontal wrap so edges connect. It’s easy to slip into the rhythm, get pleasantly lost and let time disappear. Optimized for iPad with larger grids and more rows visible; plays great on iPhone too. Modes • Nummm — Match equal numbers or pairs that sum to 10 (wildcards included). • One-Two-3 — Tap a 1→2→3 chain along a line with gaps and horizontal wrap. • Blockkk — Chip through concrete blocks (1–3 strength) using valid paths; clear them all to refresh the board. Why it clicks • Wrap-around boards with gap-jumping for creative routes • Long-path scoring and row-clear bonuses • Smart Hint (costs points) and a two-step Purge/Remove for stuck moments • Optional A.I. spectator that plays by the same rules (doesn’t overwrite your highscores) • Seeds to replay the exact same board later • High-contrast invert option • Portrait-only, offline, no ads Infinity Mode (in-app purchase) Unlock ∞ lines: when a row clears, a new one appears at the bottom so the game never runs out. One-time purchase; restore from the Shop on other devices. Coffee-ware (tip) If you enjoy Nummm, you can support development with a small “coffee” purchase. It doesn’t unlock features—just keeps the ideas flowing.
