CODE, known as BASE 10 in North America and DECODE in Japan, is a puzzle video game developed by skip Ltd. and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DSi's DSiWare digital distribution service.

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.

Development

CODE was announced for the DSiWare service on October 2, 2008 at a Nintendo conference alongside the reveal of the service.[citation needed] It was eventually released on December 24, 2008 on the DSiWare's launch.[2] It was developed by skip Ltd. and published by Nintendo.[3]

Reception

PC World called CODE the "bar none best math game ever."[4] However the game has been criticized for its lack of a left-handed option.."[5]
