Chain Factor is the original game which inspired the iPhone hit 'Drop 7.'
Whilst initially appearing complex the basic gameplay is simple. The aim is to drop the numbered discs into a row or column in which its number matches the size (length) of it e.g. if you have a disc to drop which has a number 4 on it then add it to a column presently 3 high to make it 4 high.

To move the discs along the columns use a mouse pointer and to drop it use a left click. The discs 'stick' to your cursor as you move it, so no dragging is required. There is no time element to the game. And whilst the gameplay area opens up fairly small in your browser window, using your browsers zoom increases the size of the games appearance.

For those who like 'match 3' type games such as those in the Bejewelled series Chain Factor offers the same casual gameplay style but with a little more complexity and thought required when getting into advanced moves and modes.
