It is very nice. I was lucky enough to beta test this - and it's really well designed. If you enjoy Sudoku, definitely check it out.

Love your games. Love sudoku. Seems like the perfect pairing to me.

Will definitely be downloading this now. I hate ads!

[justRay]

downloading it right now.

I love Sudoku!! hopefully this games good.

The slowly reducing score multiplier really adds a lot of intensity to the game. 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.

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

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?

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

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.
