A downloadable puzzle for Windows

To those looking for a challenge

Some basic rules:

  • The color of a box determines what operations can be used on it. 
  • Each operation corresponds to a change in the color and or number of the box:
    • Addition                              -> Green
    • Slide                                       -> Blue
    • Row or Column Swap  -> Red
  • When a box is black, its locked. 
  • To solve the puzzle, the color and number of each box must match the solution. 
  • The first 12  puzzles work through the mechanics of each operation listed below.
  • Row and Column Swap:
    • Can be applied to one or two rows (or columns).
    •  Adds a value of one to each row (or column) involved.
    • If boxes in a row (or column) are blacked out, the operation applies to any remaining boxes.
  • Addition:
    • Can be applied to one square or can be applied to pairs of two.
    • When applied to pairs, the first square gets added to the second square.
    • Multiple pairs can be selected on the same turn.
  • Slide:
    • Each number moves to the square selected immediately after it.
    • Also, a value of one is subtracted from each number involved.
    • Can be applied to one square or any number of squares. 
  • Note: Display window is 1100 by 700, issues may occur on a smaller screen
