        Art Style: CODE, known as Art Style: BASE 10 in North America and Art Style: 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.

        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.[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]
