Gameplay
The game involves players lining up numbers so that they total up to 10. However, as the numbers resemble those from an LCD display, players can flip around numbers (for example, a 2 can be reversed to become a 5) to complete their objective.
The options featured include a sprint game involving 2 to 10 different digits, a puzzle mode and an endless mode.
There is even a multi-player option where two players can go head to head with the other player acquiring Base 10 through DS Download on any Nintendo DS console.
Development
CODE was announced for the DSiWare service on October 2, 2008 at a Nintendo conference alongside the reveal of the service. It was eventually released on December 24, 2008 on the DSiWare's launch. It was developed by skip Ltd. and published by Nintendo.
Reception
PC World called CODE the "bar none best math game ever." However the game has been criticized for its lack of a left-handed option.
