Farnum is a new number sorting game that you won't find anywhere else! It's easy to learn and easy to play, but it still has the power to make you think. All you have to do is spread out the numbers in each section, but there's a catch. You can only swap two tiles if they're the same type. The grey tiles stay in place and keep track of the spread in each section, so you don't have to do all the calculations yourself. The net effect is a casual game with a sprinkle of logic and a hint of math. But wait there's more! As you complete puzzles you move around the game map. When you reach a new destination you are rewarded with an image of a postcard to celebrate your achievement. You can visit the locations in any order you want, so plan carefully and see how many postcards you can collect! Features: Free to Play with No Ads: Farnum is completely free to download and play. You will never see any ads. There are extra features available as in-app purchases. These include Hints, Multiplayer Mode, Color Blast Mode, and more Tile Sets. All of these are completely optional to get, and it is possible to play the game as much as you want without ever spending a penny. Never-ending Gameplay: Every puzzle is procedurally generated, so each time you play, you'll get a new random puzzle. But don't worry, the algorithm makes sure every puzzle is solvable. Easy Gameplay: Swapping tiles is easy. Just click on the two tiles you want to swap, or drag one tile to the other. Hints: All of the puzzles can be solved with a little trial and error, but if you want help, hints are available. A hint will lock a tile into a position that keeps the puzzle solvable. Customize the Look: You can play with any tiles that you have available. Just go to the Color Screen and swap them around until you like the order. As you play, more tiles will become available. You can give yourself even more options by purchasing tile sets from the in-game store! Different Game Modes: You can play on normal or colorful mode. Colorful mode adds an extra color to the puzzle which means there are fewer possible arrangements of the tiles. For an even more colorful experience, you can get Color Blast Mode from the in-game store. Color Blast mode uses two more colors than normal mode. Different Grid Sizes: Play on grids of any size from 16 tiles (for a puzzle you can solve in a few clicks) to 99 tiles (for a daunting challenge that will give you a sense of achievement once you get it all sorted) So what are you waiting for? Download Farnum today and give this new type of puzzle a try!
