Fans of Rubik's Bloxx Twister will rejoice at the news that Living Mobile is releasing a follow-up, called Rubik's Numbolution. The idea is still to make coloured blocks disappear, but this time you'll need The Power Of Maths to do it.

The aim is to clear the screen of a bunch of numbered blocks. How? Well, a stack disappears when the numbers on its blocks add up to a set number at the top of the screen. Trust us, it makes more sense when you play it. Well, unless you were a numerical dunce at school, of course, in which case maybe it'll provide some much needed brain training.

Rubik's Numbolution is played against a time limit, and as you progress, the total number you're required to match gets higher. Oh, and there's new blocks popping up from the top of the screen, too, just to keep you on your toes.

Meanwhile, 'negative' black blocks can be used to destroy whole rows to give you breathing space. Rubik's Numbolution will have 45 levels and two game modes, and looks like providing a stern test of your grey cells.
