Game Description
"Num Crum Match" is an arcade spatial puzzle game about numbers, crumbling, and matching. Place the numbers strategically to block or direct the crumbling and score higher!

How does your game tie into the theme?
The number crumbling mechanic symbolizes the theme of decay, in an abstract way. Numbers are repeatedly broken down by half until it reach 0. The player has to work smart around the decaying numbers and avoid having the whole board filled with 0!

I thought it would be an ordinary 2048, but here it turns out to be much more interesting! It's pretty cool to have a good time, nice graphics, pleasant gameplay that makes you think, but not too much effort.  I'd even download it to my phone and goof off while I'm going somewhere or something. Awesome project!

Crumming might be my new favorite word :o

I love this game, thank you for making it. Please put it on steam or mobile or something. (and name it just "Crum")

Really cool idea and presentation. Not sure i follow the decay theme but I kept going back to beat my high score

Developer

thanks! The theme "decay" inspired me to come up with gameplay ideas centered on "numbers splitting". Then from there, I didn't really think much of the theme anymore, that's probably why you don't feel a strong sense of the theme XD 

But hey, the game is enjoyable and replayable, that's what I care about haha. Thanks for playing!

Great visuals, and the game loop feels really polished, it’s a really great game. I’m not sure I really picked up on the decay theme, but aside from that, amazing work. By the way, may I ask what font you used?

Developer

Hey, thanks! And totally understandable, you don't get the theme from this game. This game indeed doesn't scream "decay". Actually, the numbers breaking down half and half symbolize the decomposition nature of decaying things. It's in an abstract way of interpretation, though.

For the font, it's a font asset called CRUMPLED which I found on dafont: https://www.dafont.com/crumpled.font

I watched my husband @bearwithhands play this for about half an hour saying things off and on like: 

"This is a game!" 

"I think I just got crummed." 

"This is a real game!" 

"This is really fun!" 

"I think I just did a genius move there." 

"Crum, man. Crum." 

He got a high score of 4398.  So you obviously did a fantastic job. Super polished, the animation was wonderful, the color palette felt nice. The music was catchy and went with the feel! And you have a new super fan.
