10x10!
Many things puzzle us and we never know when the next solution will present itself so we've got to figure it out ourselves like in 10x10. At some point or another, everything comes back to math which is arguably the purest form of science. Knowing even a little bit of math can help you in the most unexpected ways like with solving puzzles. Tetris may have been about blocks, but it was also about geometry and angles which are mathematical. Here's another puzzling scenario where you have a bit more time to think, but that also means that you need to be more creative with your answers.
About 10x10
Video games could not exist without math which is why there are so many games that base their entire premise around numbers. While this game may not be super number-heavy, math is involved and you'll figure that out soon enough. You need to think about all the spaces, and your available blocks and plan so that you can keep playing. The answer won't always be clear and you need to determine what will be the best course of action at the moment and for the future. It all comes down to problem-solving and thinking carefully about the data at hand.
How to Play
10x10 is a 2D puzzle game about slotting different arrangements of blocks into a 10 by 10 grid using the mouse. To move blocks into place, select them from the bottom of the screen, click and hold the Left Mouse Button, and then drag them onto the grid. If they fit, they'll slot right into the space. The goal is to get the highest score possible by completing columns and rows of 10 blocks.
When a column or row is filled, the blocks in it will vanish and fill up more space. If the blocks were part of the arrangement, the ones not in the column or row would be left behind. You get a selection of three block arrangements underneath the grid that will be randomized. You won't get any new blocks until the ones you have are placed onto the grid. You can touch the edges of the grid without any problems, but if you reach a point where you can't fit any of your current blocks in… that's game over. You'll get the chance to go back three moves if you wish or you can choose to start over from the beginning.
Tips and Tricks
This is a more contained and slower-paced form of Tetris which means you have no pressure to rush through. The blocks you may get are random, but your arrangements should always try to take up the least amount of space. Start at the edges and keep the center clear for as long as you can.
