Brain teaser deluxe! The classic game Crossing Numbers is back in town with a whole new look, new modes, and new features! HOW TO PLAY Cross out pars of the same numbers (3-3, 2-2, etc.) or those which add up to 10 (1-9, 3-7, etc.). Two numbers can be crossed by tapping them one by one. The pairs must be located side by side. This means they can be crossed horizontally, vertically, and when one number is at the end of a row and another number stands at the beginning of the next row. Even the first and last number can be crossed! There can also be empty cells between the two cells to be crossed. The main goal is to cross out all numbers and to empty the board. When you can’t cross any more numbers press the PLUS to add all remaining numbers to the end of the board. Good Luck and have fun! 2 GAME MODES CLASSIC. The classic mode starts with all numbers from 1 to 19 without the 10. This is the classic version I played a lot on paper RANDOM. Start with 3 rows of random numbers to spice things up! BOOSTERS BOMBS. Bomb numbers by crossing out the number you tap and the numbers next to it! HINTS. Shows you a possible combination to cross out (if there is any). SWAP. Got stuck? Swap two numbers! DELETES. Just cross out any number you like UNDO. You crossed out two numbers but now see a better move. Worry not! Undo got you covered!
