Numbla is a Maths based game that tests your skills on identifying multiples of numbers. The objective of this game is to select a series of touching tiles that are multiples of the number that appears at the top of the screen before the timer runs out. Each time tiles are correctly identified they will disappear and new tiles will fall down. As you progress through the levels the numbers become a little more challenging and the number of tiles that appear on the screen increases.
