Numba
You’d be surprised how much a touchscreen can improve a regular puzzle game. Well, you might not surprised if you’ve been playing some of the mobile games that have been ported to iPhone.
Any game on mobile that involves laboriously moving around a grid benefits from it – and of course, it’s not just on iPhone, but on any touchscreen handset. Swiping your finger or thumb along a row of gems or jabbing at a button is so much more satisfying.
Numba certainly benefits. On mobile, it was a good number-based puzzler, but its format lends itself perfectly to the touchscreen treatment. The actual game is largely unchanged, but its graphics have been boosted to suit the larger screen too.
Assuming you’re new to the game though, here’s how it works: you’re presented with a grid of numbers between 1 and 9, and your job is to create sequences by dragging your digit through adjacent tiles. A sequence has to be at least three numbers long, but its makeup is flexible. It might be three 1s for example, or a 1-2-3-4 sequence, or an incremental series (1-5-9).
