The idea of the game is that you need to factor a very large number which is a multiple of the first 8 primes: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, and 19. So, for instance: 12355467391260000000 = 2^8 * 3^7 * 5^7 * 7^10 By pressing the left, right, up, down, A, B, X, and Y buttons, you can attempt to divide the large number by a prime. By using the L and R buttons, you can increase the power of the divisor. 2 becomes 2^2 = 4, 7 becomes 7^2 = 49, and 19 becomes 19^2 = 361. You can increase your power up to a factor of 6, where 19^6 = 47045881! Be careful though. If you make a mistake you'll be penalized 3 times the amount of points you would have gained if you were correct. Increasing the power is risky business! The icon graph is a hypercube, a four dimensional object that could be used to represent an easy puzzle (2^w*3^x*5^y*7^z).
