NUM//CRUNCH vs NumShift!

NUM//CRUNCH is a number puzzle: clear the board by matching pairs of digits. Two cells match if they show the same digit or their values add up to 10. Pairs must be adjacent — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — with no active cells blocking the path between them. The end of each row connects to the start of the next. When cleared cells sit between two digits, you can match across the gap. Clear every cell in a row and that row is removed, opening new paths. Stages get tougher as you progress. FEATURES • Simple rules, deep strategy — easy to learn, hard to master • Stage progression — larger boards and tighter hint/add-row limits at higher stages • Hints — first hint per stage is free; later hints use in-game coins or a short rewarded video (where available) • Add rows — no matches left? Append new rows built from remaining digits to keep play going • Coins — earn coins from matches and stage clears; spend them on hints when you need them • Combos and speed bonuses — chain quick matches for higher scores • Global leaderboard — submit your best run and compare with players worldwide (efficiency affects your ranked score) • Save and resume — progress is saved automatically once you have started playing • Sound effects — optional; mute from the header anytime • 9 languages — English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Italian • No account required — enter a display name when you submit a score, or ignore the leaderboard and play casually HOW TO PLAY 1.

Slide. Sum. Score. NumShift is a fresh take on the number puzzle. Slide entire rows and columns across a 5×5 board — when adjacent tiles add up to the target sum, they merge and you score. Start simple with pairs that equal 10, then level up as the target climbs to 15, 20, and beyond. What begins as easy arithmetic becomes a strategic challenge as you plan moves ahead, set up chain reactions, and keep the board from filling up. WHAT MAKES NUMSHIFT DIFFERENT Unlike other number puzzles, you shift entire rows or columns — not every tile at once. This gives you precise control over the board. And tiles don't merge by matching — they merge by summing to a target. That one twist changes everything. HOW TO PLAY • Swipe left or right to slide a row • Swipe up or down to slide a column • Adjacent tiles that add up to the target number merge automatically • New tiles spawn after every move • The game ends when the board fills with no possible merges FEATURES • Unique target-sum mechanic — not just another 2048 clone • Open-ended levels — targets climb 5 → 10 → 15 → 20 → 25 and beyond • Combo multiplier system — chain consecutive merges for massive scores • Multi-tile merges — combine 2, 3, 4, or even 5 tiles at once • Undo button — take back your last move • Game Center leaderboards — compete globally for high score and highest level • More PapaG Games — discover other PapaG titles from Settings • Satisfying haptic feedback and sound effects • Clean, minimal dark-mode design • Works on iPhone and iPad • No ads.
