Can you get down to 1?

Factors Game

Your number falls down a board of numbers. Land on one of its factors and it divides; land on anything else and it adds. Get as close to 1 as you can, in as few moves as you can.

How to play

  1. Swipe or press the arrow keys left and right to line up your next move.
  2. Swipe or press down to drop your number one row.
  3. If it lands on one of its factors it is divided by that factor. If it lands on anything else, that number is added on.
  4. Get as close to 1 as you can. Some boards cannot reach 1 at all, so the goal is the lowest average you can manage.
  5. Swipe or press up to start the board again.
