Numberama 2 – Board Game Review
Numberama 2 is a Board/Puzzle/Entertainment game from Artem Demidenko, first launched in 14th May 2013.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 86+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Numberama 2 Stand Out
Numberama 2 is comin' out!
Numberama 2 is the good old puzzle and probably the best time killer, that was popular in the universities and colleges at the 80's and 90's.
Info for haters: When you click new game, you see that numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 (1 to 19 without 0's). If you remove 2 pairs (9+1, summ 10) and click rewrite, you see this: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 and you will not see 9's again. It's not a problem it's original rules of the game. It's a part of a game or your strategy – choose right way to win.
The objective is to cross out neighbouring (vertically or continiously) pairs of digits to completely empty the screen. You can cross out the same numbers or the ones that give a total of 10.

Community Insight:
We got it back. On the last update, it would not come on our screen when we entered your app. Thank you for such a wonderful, stress reliever game.
EDIT: Today's update fixed all the problems! Yippee! Download this update and return to the Numberama we love!! Much better. Back to building our scores back up……. Thank you! We hope feedback is showing that stuff went wrong with the latest update. Had to delete and reinstall to get the app to open. That killed all our scores/ awards within the game. :-( Lines sometimes misalign when lines disappear. Dragging up or down will reset them. Oh, and sometimes when we match like a 1 to a 1, it won't delete them. Why is that? We have to close out the game because the integrity is compromised. Also was playing yesterday for awhile, then it just closed out! Huh? Hey, programmers? Back to coding please. You can fix this. :-) Mostly we're disappointed that our scores all disappeared.
The crash problem has been fixed! We can now go back to playing our favorite game.
This game is fun and you see just how far you can go – as each level gets harder. Best news – NO "IN APP PURCHASES"! That is the FIRST thing we look for now with ANY APP. If it has IAP's we look no further – period! ALL APP USERS NEED TO STOP BUYING & BUYING THESE OVERPRICED "FREE" APPS. THE GAMES ARE DESIGNED SO IT TAKES FOREVER TO BUILD UP ENOUGH "TOKENS" (or $), TO ADVANCE WITHOUT SPENDING REAL CASH MONEY. PERSONALLY, we THINK IT'S TIME TO GET PROACTIVE AND SAY AS PLAYERS WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH, OF THE MONEY HUNGEY FEES! UNTIL WE STOP SPENDING REAL MONEY, TO PLAY "FREE GAMES" – THE GAMES WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE EXPENSIVE IAP's. NOW SOME COMPANIES ARE BEGINNING TO CHARGE FOR THE GAMES AND HAVE IAP's INCLUDED! ENOUGH ALREADY! A SINGLE IAP GAME CAN BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN BUYING A COUPLE OF PLAYSTATION 2 GAMES PLUS THE CONSOLE.
Okay, did the latest update on Numberama2 and found another glitch. If you have a match to make that is more than 10 rows apart, it does not always eliminate it. We have one now and cannot go further with other moves until this one is eliminated. UGH! And we were so happy to not have it crash. Please fix.
This was our favorite game. Since the update, we can't get it to even open. Have tried uninstall and reinstall, but still doesn't work. Please put out a fix. We promise to give a 5 star review when it is working again. Going through Numberama withdrawal.
Latest update causes game to close unexpectedly. Also had a tendency to freeze when attempting to remove pairs. This is one of our favorite games. Please fix.
This is one of our favorite games to play. But since updating the game a few days ago, every time we open it and push a number, it crashes. We can no longer play it… Please do another bug fix update.
Love to clear the board! But the newest version won't let us play. It closes before the game begins… No stars for that.
This is a great game, but now that it updated, it just crashes.
Fun and makes you think!! Very fun mind game. Love it!! Easy to pick up where you left off. Great app for all ages.
We've been playing this game for months now and we still love it. It's a simple game and easy to pick up where you left off. We actually look forward to times when we have to wait so we can pull out our phone and play. After the most recent update we had trouble opening the game. It would immediately close down. We emailed support and received a reply within a few minutes suggesting we delete the app and reinstall. That did the trick and now we're back in business. We've downloaded other games that we've played for awhile before losing interest. But not this game. Thanks.
Play this a lot but just updated the app and now it crashes. Will not open at all.
We have iOS8 and the update was supposed to be for iOS8. Since updating we can't open the game. It pops up quick than crashes. Please fix as we love to relax after a stressful day by playing.
We love this game and it is fun and addicting but since the most recent update it will not load on our iPad 4. It tries and then just crashes. Please fix.
Update failed. Delete then reinstall.
We've been obsessed with this game but today it updated and now it won't open. Please fix this before we find another game to take its place.
Will not open on our iPad Air iOS 8.1.
Immediately after the latest update we had same problem a lot with app crashing we wrote developer who answered very quickly with the advice to uninstall and reinstall. This advice worked fine but then other problems began happening with numbers being unresponsive especially in the first row and numbers changing. Hopefully the developer will fix problems soon as this is one of our favorite games.
Love this game. Totally addicted. Update crashed. Had to reinstall. Also left side not working to get menu or tap that column. Grid slightly off too. Pls fix so we can play again.
This is one of our favorite games to play at night while watching tv. We have not updated to ios8 because we hear of others having problems with it. However, it we did do the update on this game, now it doesn't work on our ipad4. What's up with that.
Perfectly addicting game that now won't open. With the latest app update for iOS8, the game crashes at the loading screen.
We love playing this game! Just updated and now the app will not open on our iPad nor on our iPhone 6+. Please fix.
After your latest update, we can't get the game to open. This is one of our favorite games and you need to fix it.
The game is crashing after the launch image. Our device: iPad 2 with iOS 7.1.2.
We are addicted to this game but the update is terrible. Sometimes numbers don't match that should. Sometimes numbers disappear. Sometimes the numbers don't line up correctly in the grid and get very confusing. Sometimes it just crashes over and over. Tonight we cannot even play the game because it dumps us out every time we try to play. Please fix it and make it the stable game it used to be.
Latest update caused valid moves to be unplayable. Please fix.
Never had this problem before the latest update. Please fix it ASAP.
Numbers a had been working on our ipad2 with ios8 until the last update. It tries to open but ends up going back to the page the app is on.
It crashed after installing update. We deleted and reinstalled. It still crashes. Please fix this problem. We love this game.
Won't open, keeps crashing, had to delete then reinstall, lost all our badges.
But otherwise…new update is crashidy crash crash. How is this even possible? Other options for this game type thankfully.
Crashing after latest update on iPhone 5.
This is one of our favorite games but since the update on 10.30.14 it won't even open! Provide a fix and we will update our review.
Doesn't work after latest update.
Ever since the new"upgrade", when we start the app, it crashes. We have restarted our iPad Air multiple times but to no avail. When this used to work, we enjoyed the app.
Really liked this game until update today. Now it won't open. Please fix. Thank you.
Can't open the app on our iPhone 6.
We just did the newest update for Numberama 2, and now it crashes every time we try to open it.
We just downloaded your update for iOS8 and all it does is crash! Since we're working our way to one million and almost half way there, we don't want to have to reinstall! We play every night just to chill. Make it work, please.
We love this game and am completely addicted. Simple but fun. We just wish we could chose different color background, so we could play it at night without hurting the eyes (even if we dim the light conpletely, the white background is still too bright).
We absolutely love this game. The only issue we have is with the formula used for determining your score. Seems to be very heavily weighted on time, rather than number of matches or rows. We feel we should have a higher score if we were able to clear a larger board, rather than just clear a few lines in a few seconds.
We could play this game for hours! Very good. We think there should be hints when you can't find the match. But, it's fun and great to use as a time passer.
We have solved one puzzle … That's it … But we can't stop playing to try to win again! It also seems like some people do not understand the game … Maybe better explanation in the beginning tutorial.
By far, the most addictive game we have. Hours can go by unnoticed!!! Very fun, yet not easy!!! A MUST for numbers people.
We love this game. Once we figured out the basics, this became our go-to app for relaxation and challenge.
We've won both classic and random games several times and there are a few things we've figured out over time. First, at the beginning of a new game there are NO matches, and the next group has No matches, just start a new game. You won't have any matches of you keep adding lines. Second, there is a finite number of lines to each game. If you play each game long enough, you WILL reach the point where there is no arrow to add more numbers. The game is over. Third, when matching pairs, if you match ALL of a particular number in the existing lines, when you press the arrow to add more lines only the numbers you HAVEN'T completely eliminated will be added. 9s seem to be eliminated first in many of the games we've played. We're now playing a game where we've eliminated all but 1s, 4s, 5s, & 6s with many lines still to go unless we win before then. It is important to check to see how many matches remain before pressing the arrow to add more numbers and DO NOT add more numbers until all matches are found. We make every effort to remember where the new numbers started so that when seeking any elusive matches before adding more lines, we have a reference point for where we were last when all matches were found BUT we always begin our search higher up in previous lines as we know we had number matches with our current "new" lines that were above the lines we added. This makes it much easier. We never add lines until all existing matches are found. If finding the last match or two is very difficult, we close the game & go back later. We almost always find the matches quickly if we've been away from the game a while. There have been times when we've wished there was a way to get a hint when looking for that elusive last match and having the numbers soooooo spread out vertically only makes it so much more difficult but then we find the match & we're glad we didn't have an easy way out. It can be frustrating sometimes but it's a game we can play whenever we have time to kill & when we have to stop, we can easily pick up where we left off. This game is addicting & we think that it is actually good exercise for our brain. Lastly, if you are really frustrated by a particular game, start a new one. There is no penalty for that. Eventually you will see the way numbers are eliminated as all of them are matched and the game will make more sense. Some numbers get harder to match while others get easier but it is possible to match all numbers and win the game.
We love playing this,would recommend for sure! We would like to be able to change colors of the game though.
This is a great game, and sssssoooooooo addictive! But tonight we tried to start a new game, and It said no matches, so we hit the arrow…no matches..,so we kept adding more. Somewhere way over 100 rows, and no matches. We could not find any, and the game says no matches. Maybe if we shut down our iPad completely and restart it? We will try that. Other than this problem, it has been lots and lots if fun. Thanks! It is the next day, and we thought we should add that the problem we are having is with the Random game. It is normal for the first few rounds, but then each time we click on arrow, it gives lots of numbers, but zero matches over and over and over. Any suggestions.
Can't stop playing! Very addictive and not boring at all. Cool, thanks.
