It's not every day we come across a debut release, which is why Black Pug Studios' first venture, NumWorlds, caught our attention. This newly released number-matching puzzle game for iOS and Android offers a fresh take on the genre. Let's dive in and see what makes NumWorlds stand out.
At its core, NumWorlds features a straightforward mechanic: connect adjacent numbered blocks on a grid to reach a target number. Starting with simple single-digit targets, the game evolves to challenge you with higher numbers and larger grids that demand strategic linking.
But NumWorlds isn't just about its core mechanic; it's the captivating, Unreal-engine 3D environments that truly set it apart. Black Pug Studios has crafted lush visuals that are sure to draw players in. Beyond aesthetics, the game introduces additional mechanics like blockers and gold blocks, adding layers of complexity and enjoyment.
