TraceNum is a minimalist number puzzle that combines a refined design inspired by the dark cosmos with the beauty of numbers. With just the numbers 1 through 9, endless strategy unfolds across the hex grid. Trace. Clear. That’s it. The rules are simple. Trace 3 adjacent tiles and match the TOTAL to the TARGET. The TARGET values are 6, 9, 12, and 15. A whole new kind of number puzzle. Choose between two game modes: Time Mode, where you aim for a high score within the time limit, and Endless Mode, where you can take your time and keep playing until the board is full. You are not limited to waiting for the system to add tiles. With your 3 hand tiles, you can place the best tile on the board and control the game with your own strategy. COLOR & Combos Clearing tiles of the same color increases your score multiplier. Fill the gauge to earn a Diamond and experience the thrill of clearing the board in one move. Special Tiles WILD and Almighty tiles can turn a difficult moment into an opportunity and bring your ideas to life.
