Windows 8 Math Puzzle Game: Sumon
Sumon is a math game for Windows 8 with a twist. The game allows you to sharpen your calculation skills while having a lot of fun at the same time. The game is split into multiple levels where you will be shown blocks of numbers on your screen, and a target number at the top right. You have to click on the number blocks which will add up to the desired target number. When you click on the number blocks, they will form a number link, and the blocks need not necessarily be placed next to each other. The game weighs in at just around 9 Mb, and is totally smooth and has amazing graphics along with a great background score which is neither too distracting, nor too boring.
Sumon is available for free from the Windows App Store.
Main features of Sumon for Windows 8 and 8.1:
When you run Sumon on your device, you will be presented with the below screen.
Here, you can choose the type of the level which you wish to play. I chose the Classic Mode. Once selected, your game will start immediately and you will be taken to the gameplay screen almost instantly. You can see the gameplay screen in the screenshot below.
You can see that the game is based on the process of clicking on the number blocks which will help to form the target number. When you click on the number blocks, a number link is formed and when the numbers get added up to the target number value, the blocks are eliminated and fall off from the board as can be seen in the screenshot below.
The aim of the game is to clear off all the blocks from the screen. You get a specific time for adding blocks to achieve a target number, and if the time runs out, its game over. If you are able to successfully eliminate all the blocks from the gameplay screen before the end of the level, you will be shown the below message on your screen.
This concludes the main features of Sumon for Windows 8 and 8.1.
