Discover the next evolution of Sudoku with amazing graphics, animations, and ease of use. This is a Sudoku like one you have never experienced before ;) ...Thousands of puzzles, all free. Top class puzzles with selectable level of difficulty :) ________________________________ To the classic Sudoku, we added: => A smart point system, wherein your score is based on 1) the value of each number multiplied (at the time of its match) by a multiplier that decreases in time and 2) the value of each block, row, column multiplied (at the time of its completion) by the decreasing multiplier => Thanks to Game Center, you can now rank and compare Sudoku scores and achievements against friends and strangers => ▻Sudoku also counts the runs, that is, each uninterrupted sequence of games won, and adds them to the online leaderboards ________________________________ In ▻Sudoku, you win a game when you solve a puzzle with 3 errors or less (we used this threshold to give a bit of slack for mis-tapping :) Also, you have a number of hints to help you play (more at the easy, less at the hard level). To fit any taste, you can choose between a lush tile look or a more classic board look :) ________________________________ What our testers are saying: • "The game is perfect!

I find myself making mistakes or bad guesses just because I'm trying to take advantage of the higher multipler. Isabella, can you explain the "Broken Run" designation that shows up in small print at the bottomw when you make too many mistakes? I noticed three wrong choices were allowed before it showed up. Edit: Also, I noticed that the game doesn't stop counting time or reducing the multiplier if I put my iPhone to sleep without first exiting the game. I'm playing at work, and got distracted. Stupid work. But, when I came back, the timer was up to 39 minutes and the multiplier was down to X3. Is that supposed to happen? Guess I'll need to get used to exiting the game first. Isabella01 Well-Known Member Aug 31, 2009 72 1 0 Palo Alto, California #7 Isabella01, May 7, 2010 Hi CzarCastic, Thank you for playing Sudoku 2 Yes, a broken run is when you made more than 3 mistakes. Even when you solve the game, it doesn't count as a winning game anymore The update - out at the beginning of next week - will have a more elabotate 'HELP' menue Thank you for pointing out the timer issue ... I'll have our tech team look at options right away! Please let me know if other issues pop up!! Cheers, Isabella medianotzu Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2009 3,803 9 36 #8 medianotzu, May 7, 2010 Hey, why does mine have ads? It only went live 13 hours ago according to Appshopper and there is only one app right now so it's not like I downloaded the wrong one. Would it be because, even though I use a US account, I live in S. Korea and my iPod's internal clock is set to the 8th right now as it's after midnight? Isabella01 Well-Known Member Aug 31, 2009 72 1 0 Palo Alto, California #9 Isabella01, May 7, 2010 Hi Medianotzu, Thank you for playing Sudoku 2! We are so sorry for the inconvenience! The change from 'no ads' to the 'ads' version is determined by the internal clock/time setting of your device and has, unfortunately, nothing to do with iTunes (and/or in which which time zone you downloaded it). Please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you! Please know that you have a FULL version of Sudoku 2 in your hands, and with the next cool update around the corner, this game will only get better Cheers, Isabella medianotzu Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2009 3,803 9 36 #10 medianotzu, May 7, 2010 Ah...so there is no way to get an ad-free version? Will you release one later? To be honest, there is no way I can play Sudoku with the flashing ad at the bottom. Heck, I am barely smart enough to play it without ads and flashing ads are 10 times worse for a person like me who has the distraction threshold of a 10-year-old on a sugar high. JCman7 Well-Known Member Jul 6, 2009 2,548 3 36 Mechanical Engineering NY #11 JCman7, May 7, 2010 This game is a must own!! Highly recommend! Its the best sudoku game I have ever played, its fun, challenging and simple to use. I hope everyone downloads it and enjoys it. You can really see the hard work put into this game, you won't be disappointed download it now!! TheSporkWithin Well-Known Member Jan 16, 2010 928 0 16 College student, studying English/Japanese lit. #12 TheSporkWithin, May 7, 2010 This game is everything we've come to expect from FingerArts. A polished interface, an easygoing game intensified by a timer-based scoring system, and a nigh-infinite pool of puzzles to go through. Huge thumbs up, once again. medianotzu Well-Known Member Nov 21, 2009 3,803 9 36 #13 medianotzu, May 7, 2010 Last edited: May 7, 2010 Bah. You guys are pissing me off. The game looks great but I can't play it with the freaking ad. Damn it. Edit: wait a minute, I'm smart enough to set my iPod's clock back. Heh heh heh. Drucifer Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2010 1,568 1 38 Canada #14 Drucifer, May 7, 2010 I'm confused So if I download this game now it will be ad free. If I download it say tomorror or the next day however, it will have ads. If I download now will ads start appearing in a day or two? BTW, the game does look really good. JCman7 Well-Known Member Jul 6, 2009 2,548 3 36 Mechanical Engineering NY #15 JCman7, May 7, 2010 lol its just ads! Not a big deal and for FREE the ads are worth it dont you think. They gotta make money some way and by doing this they can give us free updates and more games TheSporkWithin Well-Known Member Jan 16, 2010 928 0 16 College student, studying English/Japanese lit. #16 TheSporkWithin, May 7, 2010 I'm noticing that my iPhone is running surprisingly hot while playing this game. I didn't notice battery life, but with that kind of heat I have a feeling it was guzzling it down. Any idea why this is happening? Isabella01 Well-Known Member Aug 31, 2009 72 1 0 Palo Alto, California #17 Isabella01, May 7, 2010 Hi Meedianotzu, I understand and am sorry to hear that the ads are bothering you that much! We decided that it's better to have a FULL game with a few (less noticeable) ads, yet filled with cool features, for FREE than a free app that is just a teaser of a paid, full version ... In the mean time, I will pass your wish along to the rest of the team! You have a great sense of humor and I have trouble with numbers as well Please wait for the update and see if it will improve the gaming experience - I can promise you that the update is much easier on the eye and with the easy level being MUCH easier, even I am able to plow through a game session like a-10 -year on a sugar high Isabella Drucifer Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2010 1,568 1 38 Canada #18 Drucifer, May 7, 2010 Also how many different Sudoku puzzles are in the game? Isabella01 Well-Known Member Aug 31, 2009 72 1 0 Palo Alto, California #19 Isabella01, May 7, 2010 Hmm ... we developed the game with the focus on running lightly meaning that the game should not put strain on the processor. We did not notice anything while testing the game on various different devices. Please try to restart the device and/or reinstall the app on your device. Please let me know how this works for you! Isabella01 Well-Known Member Aug 31, 2009 72 1 0 Palo Alto, California #20 Isabella01, May 7, 2010 Important Notice: IF YOU DOWNLOAD THE GAME ON MAY 7TH, YOUR GAME WITH STAY AD FREE FOREVER!!!
