How can you not love the number 10? Fingers! Toes! Tiny Turtles Talking On The Telephone! And most importantly, 10 is the title of a new sliding-block puzzle game by iojoe. Mathematical! In each puzzle, you will be presented with a grid with several squares of numbers (positive or negative) on it. By clicking and dragging those squares, they will travel until they hit a wall or collide with another square. When two squares collide, their numbers are totaled into one new square. If the total is equal to 10, the square becomes an immovable block, but no square can have a total higher than 10. The goal is to combine all the squares on the board into 10s, without getting blocked in. And, with later additions like wormholes, the ten-ing will only get trickier with time!
10 is a colorful and entertaining work whose gentle learning curve works up to some quite interesting puzzles, with the "undo" function keeping it from becoming too frustrating. Though the mental math required is not difficult, playing 10 definitely feels like the kind of brain-training that Nintendo's Floating-Japanese-Doctor-Head-Guy would approve of (not to mention giving a whole new appreciation for the arithmetic weirdness of "0" and negative numbers.) The free browser version offers 55 of the mobile version's 140 total levels, though expansions are currently planned. Anyone in search of a good little mind-twister, should definitely give it their full a-10-tion.
Yeah, expect to grind to a halt REAL fast when you hit level 9 of the liar titled "Ten Is Simple" because you can only slide tiles in a straight line and all the tiles are in REALLY shitty places.
I'm stuck in level 4 of 10 is tricky... any help?

Wait, what? That level is pretty straightforward. If it's already "grind to a halt", then the later ones, especially the whole "10 is hard", would be pretty much impossible, but it isn't the case anyway.
@eu.lily:
Make 3 10s on upper-right side and lower-right side. You should be left with a 3 and 4 here.
Now releases the 4 blocks carefully, so that you can immediately match the 6 and 7 with the 3 and 4 mentioned above without blocking your way. The rest is trivial.
To be honest, i'm surprised there is no walkthrough of this game yet.
Because i'm stuck on Level 14 of 10 Is Simple and i've tried 10 different ways of getting 10's for every single spot, yet there would always be leftovers, like a 2 6's and a 5.
Yeah, the game DOES need a good walkthrough, but it's still new. Give it time.
I'm standing on level 24 of " 10 is difficulty" help please
