Magic Squares LITE

Magic Squares is a puzzle game based on the classic number puzzle you might have played in your youth for extra credit in a math class. The Magic Squares in this game are composed of blocks of numbers where all the rows, all the columns, and the diagonal must sum to the same number.

To play the game, you simply touch the block where you want to enter a number and then you use the numeric keyboard to enter the number you want to put in the box. As you enter numbers in the blocks, the columns, the rows, and the diagonal are automatically summed. Once all of the sum blocks equal the sum goal, then you've completed the puzzle. The faster you can complete the puzzle the higher your score on the high scores list. The timer begins once your enter a number in the first box you touch.

In the LITE version of Magic Squares, you are not allowed to change the preferences for the max sum goal level. This means you will be limited to Magic Squares which sum to smaller values. The full version supports the construction of Magics Squares with with very high sum goals.

In future versions of Magic Squares, there are plans for supporting different order magic squares in addition to the 3rd order magic squares supported in this version. There are also investigations going on into adding bonus points for completing a magic square with specific magic number sequences.
