Cross-Numbers

"Cross-Numbers" by Holotronix srl has recently rolled out its latest version, 1.0.0.1, providing puzzle enthusiasts a unique twist on traditional number arranging games. This Games category gem falls under the Puzzle subcategory and is designed to challenge and expand the player's cognitive abilities.

In "Cross-Numbers," players arrange numbered tiles in their natural order by moving rows and columns, which ingeniously trains the brain's "muscles." The game can be both intellectually stimulating and enjoyable, setting an example of how puzzle games can be both educational and entertaining. This aligns with the developer's goal of making intelligence comparable to that of Einstein within reach.

Fans of classic puzzles like Sam Lloyd's sliding tiles will find "Cross-Numbers" intriguingly familiar yet refreshingly different due to its unique permutation theory and solving algorithms. The gameplay mechanics involve dragging tiles with the mouse or using keyboard arrow keys, coupled with Shift and Control keys for more precise movements.

The program supports Windows XP and comes in .exe file format, with the specific name XNumbers1.exe. Apart from version 1.0.0.1, users can also explore older versions, such as 1, and 1.0, to see how the game has evolved.

Although "Cross-Numbers" is available under a Shareware license, giving players a chance to explore the game before deciding on a purchase, the free trial can be quickly accessed for anyone keen to download it.

Pros:

• Intellectually stimulating gameplay that boosts cognitive skills.
• Various versions available to experience different strategies.
• Mathematically proven winnability ensuring fair play.

Cons:

• Limited to Windows XP, restricting users of newer operating systems.
• Shareware license, which means it is not entirely free.

Overall, "Cross-Numbers" is an excellent puzzle game that combines fun with mental exercise, making it a worthwhile download for anyone looking to sharpen their mind.

It is not possible to confirm if there is a free download for this software available on the developer's website. We recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus.
