Glo Sudoku app designer needs tweaking

leftright · 08-12-2015, 12:15 AM

I really enjoy playing sudoku, it's a great mind exerciser and distraction beyween long reading sessions, yet... Kobo's Sudoku isn't fun to play, the designer thinks that it's a challenge to make all levels uncompletable, even the most basic levels are no fun.

The dev tries to entice a player by throwing down the gauntlet with, "I dare to you try and play this game, go on try, you intellectually unworthy human", then proceeds to make it impossible to complete any game at any level.

The opening screen says it all really, tons of arrogance. might I suggest that he go to http://www.websudoku.com/ to see what fun Sudoku can be without intellectual arrogance. websudoku is on all my other devices.

To the Sudoku app designer, "Please, please do something about your game to make it a enjoyable and fun distraction on my reader".

Many thanks.

If you want to change the text, it can be done.

For the game logic itself, can't help you there. The game is saved in a text format so it might be possible to import sudoku problems from the outside, but I'm not interested in sudoku myself so you'd have to do this on your own.

Fully agree with you Leftright, Sudoku is a great game for an e-reader but the difficulty scale implemented here is completely wrong.
