"NumWorlds: Black Pug Studios' First 3D Puzzle Game Launched"

It's not every day that we come across a debut release, which is why Black Pug Studios' first venture, NumWorlds, stands out as particularly intriguing. So, what exactly is NumWorlds, and is this newly-released iOS and Android number-matching puzzler worth your time? Let's dive in and find out!

NumWorlds showcases an exemplary simple core mechanic for a puzzle game. The gameplay involves connecting adjacent numbers on a grid to reach a target number, starting with single-digit goals and progressing to higher numbers on an increasingly larger grid that you'll need to navigate.

But NumWorlds isn't just about its core mechanic; the visual appeal is equally compelling. The game boasts lush, Unreal-engine 3D environments that Black Pug Studios is eager to showcase. Additionally, various game mechanics like blockers and gold blocks add layers of complexity and enjoyment to the experience.
