    I'm sorry for taking so long with any feedback....the truth is I really suck at math and most numbers puzzles scare me or turns me off completely. As was the case here when I first tried it for the first contest, I just couldn't get it going and it was embarrassing.

    When the chance came to test again I decided to give it another go for the hell of it, but I was really pleased that I did, all the new changes and additions really made it more approachable and a lot more fun.

    I'm really proud of making a score of 30352 whereas before I struggled to make 500.
    I'm greatfull for the hints, swaps, undo and free moves, and supriseinly I have gotten to a point where I don't even need them cause I started really getting into it and no longer numbers but more like puzzle pieces that need to be arranged

    It's really a fun game and I'm glad I gave it another shot

    That is great:) So glad you liked it:) 30 000 is great score really. That was actually the score I initially thought would be the highest score anybody could possible get.

    So far I really like the improvements you have made. The different colours especially help me a lot to differentiate which numbers I can use for certain calculations. And cool music you got there and it simply is nice with that playing during the game. :)
    The presence of ads do not really disturb me and I think it is better to have pop up ads rather than banner ads. So far I have not encountered accidental ads-tapping. Classifying the points for superpowers into each is better compared to previous one which was combined.
    And I thank you for taking into considerations my suggestion last time which was to not show 'Hint: use swap tile' when it is not necessary for player to do so. Or am I the one who do not notice that there is a possible move when the hint shows up?

    Unfortunately, the limitations for superpowers (max 5) I do not really agree to be honest, but I understand that you have to make money so I will not complain about it. And not sure whether it is a bug, but I found out that if I use 'Swap tile' and then I use Undo afterwards, it goes back / undo twice instead of just one.

    I also want to suggest two things. First, as you can see from the screenshot below, the chalkboard seems to be cut. I think it is nice to see the complete one. Another thing is about the help screen. An arrow to show that there are more pages as to tell the player that the help screen is more than that is on the screen. Why do I say this? Because I was looking for the explanation of Free move but could not find it anywhere. And I found it when I accidentally slide the help screen.

    Overall, the game is improved a lot and I like it! :D
    Anyway, I want to attach another screenshot of the leaderboard to show my score but somehow the forum does not allow me to attach two picts. But I ensure you that I ended my game after taking the screenshot below.

    Oh, I forgot to ask about the title of the music. I like it. This is a good step to promote your local artist (Norway). :D

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I think it is great that you liked it. I will forward your thoughts about the music to Jørgen Lande, I know he will be glad to hear this. I also feel that the music is perfect for my game, and I am really glad I know this great musician. I expect great things from him in the future. The song in the game is called "Pieces of me", and you can download it for free from his Urørt-site here: http://urort.p3.no/#!/Band/JorgenLande1

    The limitations for how many superpowers you can have at most at a given time changes depending on which game-mode you have chosen. It might be a bit tough, maybe I'll make it a bit easier in the future.

    Thank you for pointing out the bug with the Undo/Swap-Move. I will look into it, should be easy to fix.

    As for you screenshot, I must ask, which device are you using?

    Thanks, I'll make the changes, but they won't make it to the first public update.

    still didn't get how works "Swap tiles" feature. When I select swap and then I'm choosing two number and nothing happens. May be I'm doing it wrong?

    That is how it works for me!

    Tap swap tiles, select first tile you want to swap, select second tile, then it swaps!

    I put together a short video, showing off how to do this. Here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8qa5o7lp3oql1qm/Swaptut.mp4?dl=0

    Do you think this should be included in the tutorial? Maybe I should remove the screens which explains them, and instead just pop up a message the first time the player taps the superpower in question?

    that sounds good! I think the quicker you can get someone into the game the better, and have quick pop ups when they try to do something new.

    I like the pop up messages as well! When you first get a game you want to dive in and not read a tutorial so I think that would be great.

    The new version is now approved by Apple, and will be released on Tuesday, 28th of October. I must thank everybody who tested the app. Your feedback is much appreciated.

    These are the persons which met the requirement for testing. If anybody feels they should be included, just send me a PM, and we'll work something out.

    Since there are 5 in this list, I promised to give out two $10-giftcards. However, I feel the reviews were very useful, and will give everybody a $10-giftcard. I'll contact everybody by PM.
