About

Numstone

Read full description

Numstone is a speed-focus game with one simple rule: find the numbers in order. Every board is a mosaic of tiles with the numbers scattered across it. Tap 1, then 2, then 3, all the way up. The clock starts on your first tap, and a wrong tap costs you a second. It sounds easy, until you lose your place at 30. If you know Schulte tables, you already know the idea: one board, every number, as fast as your eyes can find them. Numstone turns that classic focus and attention exercise into a game you will want to play every day. DAILY FOCUS CHALLENGE - A new 50-number board every day, the same board for everyone - A streak to keep, with one free repair a week - A Game Center leaderboard for today's board, and one for every level - A 30-day chart of your own times - The daily archive: go back and play any of the last 35 days - Three daily tasks and a daily gift CLIMB THE LADDER - Six levels, from 50 to 100 numbers - Earn up to three stars on each level for speed - Beat a level to unlock the next - Race your own best time while you play - An alphabet board: find A to Z, any day - A weekly special board with a new order to find - Three free hints in every round MADE TO FEEL GOOD - Tactile 3D tiles that press down under your finger - Sound and haptics that build as you get closer to the finish - A dark, quiet look made for focus - Designed for iPhone Duo: open it for a two-page board on the big screen - Eight tile sets, from Graphite and Crystal to Jade and Rose Quartz - A home-screen widget for your streak - Share your time and challenge your friends NUMSTONE PRO - One purchase, no subscription - Removes ads - Unlocks Expert (80), Elite (90) and Master (100) - Opens the whole 35-day archive - Doubles the shards you earn and adds the Pro tile sets Numstone is free to play, with ads.
