10000000

I absolutely fell in love with 10000000. It seamlessly blends multiple genres in a way I have not seen since PuzzleQuest. It has a tastefully executed 8-bit music and art style that is a joy. Other than a couple of small control issues, this game is nearly perfect and I have no problem recommending it to anyone.

When we come to compile our games of the year this December, 10000000 will have a very high position on that list.

Resources can also be used to open shops, which can upgrade your weapons, magic and skills to help you survive further into the dungeon. Each dungeon run is scored, with your ultimate goal to reach a score of 10,000,000, hence the game's title. It will take dozens upon dozens of attempts to even come close to that score, but each failure is met with the compulsion to try just one more time in this addicting RPG puzzler.

10000000 is at times extremely frustrating, but I still find myself compelled to play it again and again. I mean, that name is just hard to type out because I'm never sure how many zeroes there are in it, but it's still a great puzzle-RPG hybrid.

An interesting mash-up of genres, 10000000 is a strategic gem that melds multiple elements to create a compelling experience.

If you're getting a little burned out on the idea of match-3 mixing with role playing, 10000000 probably won't do much to change your mind. Then again, if you're a little burned out on the idea of match-3 mixing with role-playing, you're probably not very much fun, and I don't want to talk to you. For the rest of us though, 10000000 offers up another great example of genre mashups done right. Congratulations – we've just found your next month-long addiction.

While 10000000's concept is far from unique, its smooth integration of RPG mechanics makes for an addictive arcade-puzzler.

Another solid puzzle/RPG mash-up. The core block matching works well, and the addition of RPG-style leveling up gives gamers plenty of incentive to stick around round after round. The game is fun while it lasts, but its small scope means that the experience burns bright and fades fast.

Getting your head around its name might be an epic quest in itself, but 10000000 is an enjoyable fusion of match-three and RPG.

Moderately enjoyable. [Nov 2012, p.29]
