Numeri (iPhone)
Looking at the New Games page on Touch Arcade this morning (no, still no sign of Geodefense Swarm) I noticed that this had become free. The icon made it look like a Slitherlink clone, so I took a closer look.
It is indeed a Slitherlink clone. Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me work out how to play the bloody thing. You don’t touch the lines round a square, you touch a square and lines are drawn around it according to some arcane rules I cannot even begin to fathom out.
Unless someone can explain it to me, or unless I’m missing some other way to play, I’m going to have to declare this completely unplayable.

Hi Owen,
Numeri follows Slitherlink rules: you need to leave all digits valid with a SINGLE closed loop line.
The only difference is that you can only switch all segments around a square. It looks harder but it is actually faster than regular slitherlink. You just need some training as you have to think in a different way.
You can practice simpler grids using the lite version. It is still quite challenging. Inexperienced users frequently take more than 10 minutes to solve the lite version.
Cheers,
Lucio
