Zen Mode No time limit. No game over. Just you and the hex grid. When tiles fill the board, it expands so you can keep playing. Turn off the score counter for pure flow, or leave it on to chase your personal best. Your progress auto-saves whenever you step away. Challenge Mode Water rises from below every few moves, swallowing tiles in its path. Merge tiles into 128 or higher to push the water back. Choose your pace with three difficulty levels: Gentle, Flow, and Torrent. How long can you stay ahead of the tide? FOCUS TIMER A built-in Pomodoro timer turns Numvana into a productivity companion. Set your work duration, break length, and number of cycles. During focus time, the game locks and a countdown keeps you on track. When your break arrives, the game unlocks and you play Zen mode as your reward. Notifications keep you on schedule even when the app is in the background. Customize every parameter: 15-60 minute work sessions, 5-20 minute breaks, 1-8 pomodoros per session, and 15-30 minute long breaks. NATURE-INSPIRED TILES Every tile value has a name drawn from nature: Morning Mist, Silver Rain, Spring Water, Clear Sky, Forest Moss, Ocean Glass, Honey Light, Sunset Coral, Autumn Berry, Twilight, Golden Dawn, Cherry Blossom Colors shift from soft grays through vibrant blues and greens to warm golds and corals as you climb higher. EARN THEMES THROUGH PLAY Five visual themes — each one unlocked by reaching a lifetime score milestone: Dawn (warm corals), Forest (deep greens), Ocean (bright blues), Night (twilight purples) No purchase required. Just keep playing. ACHIEVEMENTS Five milestones track your lifetime score across all sessions and modes. Each unlock rewards you with a new theme, and the final achievement removes interstitial ads permanently.
