You should really be allowed to click on a completely separate circle to start a new chain.

I was initially unsure about how the blockers worked, that should be made more clear. For others, if you create a chain out of a prime count of numbers, you may clear blockers. If you create a chain out of a composite count of numbers, you may create blockers.

Interesting game, but it doesn't have that same "I know I can do better" feel that 2048 grabbed everyone with :)

I don't think it's going to anywhere as popular as 2048. zero's "oh crap I clicked the wrong number ruining my 30+ chain just because I wasn't paying attention for a second" is much more frustrating and more common than 2048's "I filled up 3 rows so I have to take a chance breaking my 1024-512-256-128 row" :P

The "click separate circle to start a new chain" seems a bit risky - when I play the game on my phone, dragging/swiping tends to skip numbers. I'll try implementing the "clear selection" button suggested by the other commenter first.

ah, I missed that part of the rules. Without effort, I found myself with a score of 67k. Knowing that, I may be able to do better. A leader board would be nice so I know how that rates.
