Big Bad Sudoku Book was created exclusively for the Apple iPad to have the look and feel of a physical ancient sudoku book. It's completely gesture based and offers a playing experience that you can only get on an iPad.
The game play mimics pencil and paper and therefore does NOT have a traditional keypad for entry. Answers are offered via 'The Pen' which is COIN that floats above the game board. This control is flexible and can be moved around or docked off to the side. And either answers or candidates can be entered quickly from the Pen without 'switching modes' or using any 'buttons'. It's there when you need it and gone when you don't.
Big Bad Sudoku Book is a magical sudoku puzzle book that comes alive beneath your fingertips. Unlike many 'computer' versions of sudoku, the Big Bad Sudoku Book is easy on the eyes and has the feel of a real book. Completely gesture based and very natural, it's absolutely the best way to play sudoku.
Big Bad Sudoku has some magical ways of helping you solve puzzles.
First is the "Pen". Instead of using a keyboard for number entry, the Big Bad Sudoku Book uses a coin that floats above the puzzle. Tap a number on the Pen to offer it as an answer, or use the X to rub out an answer. You can drag the Pen to move it around or place it on the dock to keep it out of the way.
Second are Highlights - a revolutionary way to see sudoku puzzles. With highlights you can softly highlight cells, rows, or columns with the gesture of a finger. They help focus your attention and narrow down possibilities. You can use highlights to temporarily mark positives or negatives. Drag your finger across the puzzle board to 'draw' highlights on and off. Tap off the board to clear all highlights.
There are also many other gestures which conjure up special highlights. Swipe into a row to highlight the whole row, or swipe into a column to highlight the whole column. Press and hold on a number to highlight all occurrences of that number. Press and hold again to highlight all rows, columns and blocks for all of those occurrences. Highlights are extremely useful for finding complex sudoku chains.
Next are 'Marks'. Sometimes known as candidates or possibles, these are small numbers or dots placed around the corners of the cells to help keep track of numbers that could fit there. To enter your own marks tape the small dots on the inside ring of the Pen. You can also Reveal the True Marks for the puzzle and they will actively update as you solve the puzzle. True marks and your own marks are two separate properties that you can show or hide at will.
Finally, if the puzzle is too hard to figure out, the 'Get Hint' spell will give you a clue to help solve your puzzle. It might direct you to a cell and tell you your answer is incorrect. Or it might highlight an empty cell and tell you that a 'Single' or a 'Hidden Single' can be found there.
The Big Bad Sudoku Book is a virtual book full of Sudoku puzzles and is perfect for casual gaming.
Other magical features:
* Contrary to the false reviews - the game does save and restore your puzzle.
* Quick Start jumps right back into the gameplay - right where you left off!
* Numbers "draw" on the board.
* "Wipe" an answer to clear it, but just like real paper - a little smudge will be left behind.
* Operates in all orientations.
Known cosmetic bug: After relaunching the game the puzzle label always shows as EASY. The puzzle in progress reloads as it was when you quit. Only the label is wrong.
We are working on an update that will fix this minor issue and are adding many exciting new features. GET THE FULL VERSION NOW and update it for FREE when the update comes out.
This free offer expires sunday at midnight PST!
