I like this! I think I’d enjoy it more if there were a back button, to undo the last move, as well as the reset button to start again from the beginning. It’s frustrating to have to start again because of a single mistake.

As others have mentioned, it does seem fairly easy once you get a feel for the game mechanics. I might suggest that you have each level include a max number that each tile has to have for a correct solution. I found myself trying to get the lowest number, but I almost get everything to say 5, but messed up and missed one tile that had to get bumped to 6, it was then easy to just make one more pass and set everything to 6. If I had to restart to get the 5 I think it might be a slight increase to the difficulty.

Interesting game. There's a minor typo in the instructions: 'the a' should be either 'the' or 'a'.

Needs a one-line description on the game page - &quot;move the focus with cursor, or drag, to change the focussed number - make all numbers equal to complete the board&quot; (that&#x27;s my 30s attempt at an understandable description). I jumped in an missed the rules and then wasn&#x27;t exactly sure of the mechanism&#x2F;aim and there were no rules on the page and I couldn&#x27;t get back to the splash screen without removing the cookie (the setting of which technically breaches EU law - <a href="https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-pecr/cookies/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ico.org.uk&#x2F;for-organisations&#x2F;guide-to-pecr&#x2F;cookies&#x2F;</a> is about the UK rendering of the &quot;Cookie law&quot;).

I don&#x27;t know if it&#x27;s a good feature or not but I enjoyed being able to finish the game using the solutions found in &#x2F;parity&#x2F;story.json.<p>Would not be a good feature if you want to create some sort of leaderboard.

I skipped ahead and just started playing the game, and the mechanics weren&#x27;t clear at all.<p>I know that I should have read through the instructions, but I&#x27;m sure there are a lot of people like me who just want to jump in and play.

Great game, but it took 50 levels to get more difficult. Suggest bringing in the new rules earlier on, I was getting pretty bored by about level 30 when I&#x27;d worked it out well enough to zoom through the levels.

There was a typo on the homepage - &#x27;a the&#x27; or &#x27;the a&#x27; or something - but now I&#x27;ve played five levels I can&#x27;t get back to the homepage to find it.

This is great. It would be good to let people look back at their previously played levels so they could check the understanding they develop later in the game.

This is very nice, thank you. I was hoping that when I click on the number on the lower left it would let me get to harder higher levels.

this always baffles me: how do people invent those simple games ? Is it about game theory or game design ? Or just simplicity ?

It&#x27;s nice, but easy too. Once you decide the last number you have to move accordingly
