For the past few days, I’ve been rolling out lots of reviews for the action-y, thrilling and edge of your seat type iPhone games. So I figured that I would change pace for a while, and review an app that features a calm, relaxing and ubiquitous type of app store puzzle- Uni Sudoku by David Ross Software.
Completing Sukoku puzzles is easy- simply tap a box, then double tap a number to insert it or a single tap to just enter in a ‘pencil mark’ for numbers you aren’t quite sure of yet. For those of you who are sporting a brand new iPad, you apparently have the ability to ‘draw the number you want in an open square’, which seems pretty awesome, but I can’t personally attest to the functionality of this app on Apple’s latest gizmo.
A neat feature in Uni Sudoku is the ability to enter in your own Sudoku puzzles, say, from a website or something, and then solve them on the go. While it is a pain to meticulously punch in all those numbers, the ability to do this is definitely welcome. 10,000 unique pre-added puzzles and the ability to rotate your puzzle for some fresh perspective round out this solid digital Sudoku game.
Described in a few words, Uni Sudoku is sleek, minimalist, and simple. At heart, the game takes ‘less is more’ Sudoku to a new level. There are no distracting graphics, flashy colors and extraneous features that just don’t belong in a Sudoku game. It’s just some plain Sudoku, done right.
