Description
Num Fight is simple to learn, yet hard to put down, puzzle game where two players (or 1 player versus the computer) compete to get the highest score at the end of a round to win a battle. The rules are simple. There are scattered green (positive) and red (negative) numbers on the board, players take turns removing these blocks from the game board, with each turn changing which numbers can be removed via a rotating play bar.
To make things even more fun there are other types of items you can use, such as sign switchers which flip the red and green boxes, multi-move items, point doublers and more. The key to this game is of course to win the round, so the trick to wining is not just collecting the big numbers, but also planing ahead on how to force your opponent to take the big negative numbers. So sometimes it’s wise to take a loss to win in the end.
The game has a cool 2 Player mode where the screen flips for cross-table play, or a computer AI which is downright Nasty. (Yes the game offers an Easy mode!) The computer AI is very impressive and very challenging, and is what makes this game so much fun.
There is also the ability to configure how boards are generated, so you can always try fresh challenges. This game is so addictive that I got a low battery warning! Putting it down is nearly impossible.
