Sudoku!

Sudoku, everyone’s favorite Japanese puzzle game. It first became popular a couple years ago and spread from newspapers to hand held games to finally the iPhone. Of course you know how to play, right? If you answered, “No,” to that question, you should Google it. This sudoku app designed by Mayan Software is cheap, fun, addictive, and did I mention cheap?

For only $.99 you get 20,000 that’s right, 20,000 different puzzles! That divides up to 4,000 puzzles per level. If you played a puzzle a day, it would take you about 54 years to complete every puzzle! Now that is a worth-your-dollar app! The levels range from easy to devilish. And when they say easy, it’s not, “This is sooooooooo boring,” easy, but, “Wow, I actually have to think,” easy. It took me 7 1/2 minutes to complete the first puzzle, so I can’t imagine how long it would take me to do a devilish level puzzle . Either I am stupid, or this app is really challenging!

Well either way, this app is tons of fun for the sudoku junkie who is probably much better than me. This app is a great time killer for those days when you have nothing to do. Plus, I bet if the world ends in 2012, the zombie apocalypse happens, and you are trapped in a dark hole trying to hide from the brain-eating zombies, you’ll still have unsolved puzzles to entertain yourself. The design and layout of the app is very simple and easy to navigate. Plus, there is a best times area where you can view your best times, your country’s best times, and even the global best times. When playing the game, you are allowed three “cheats” (it will automatically fill in one of the numbers for you) per puzzle. If you need a great sudoku app, make sure you get Sudoku! by Mayan Software.
