Rulo is a simple math puzzle game that helps you improve your thinking skills. You will significantly improve your thinking ability based on analyzing the relationship between objects. Upgrade yourself to the Master to see the change. How to play: You will see circles with random numbers appear in 4x4 or 5x5 grids. The number in the square is the Sum of the corresponding row or column. Based on the sum and the numbers in the row or column, hide the inappropriate numbers. To that end, the sum of the circles is retained by the number in the square of that row or column. Notice the relationship between the sum and the numbers in the row and column. Have fun!

Are you ready for a unique adventure like no other? Oxytone invites you to explore the depths of your mind while offering a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life for those seeking relaxation. For more determined players, there are 99 challenges, colorful themes to unlock, and 12 meticulously designed maps. Oxytone is the ultimate puzzle game, equally easy to learn and challenging to master. Strive for the highest scores by creating the longest paths and achieving impressive combinations. Every move matters, and success depends on strategy and planning. You can discard tiles that don't fit your plan, but this reduces your pool of available tiles. To refresh it, you must fill tiles by guiding paths through them six times, deepening the mechanics further. Sound is an integral part of Oxytone, so I recommend playing with headphones. This will immerse you even deeper into the game. The sound design has been crafted with great care to create a unique and relaxing atmosphere, yet it can also deliver powerful moments when needed.
