Overhaul

Wish the game had more honest advertising, because this game is not a blend of puzzles and action, or has "logic-based puzzles", or has "all new challenges" every time you enter the room. It's single grid Sudoku(i.e. one 3x3 to one 6x6 grid). That's the only puzzle there is. From there, the only challenge there is in the game's many different rooms is how that will be as annoying to solve as possible. Will a clock give you a time limit? Will a switch on the opposite end of the room need to be pressed every 10 seconds so you're allowed to keep solving the puzzle? Will something try to slap you or block you or shoot at you? How about all of those at once? Items are mostly dull too. More health, mash the button less to move obstacles, move faster. Nothing that's changing up the gameplay of "solve Sudoku, dodge things". If that's how the game had sold itself, I would have known to steer clear. But it didn't, so thumbs down.

This is a really great mashup of two seemingly incompatible genres: Roguelite and Puzzle. I would definitely recommend it, and it is definitely worth the money - I think they undercharged for it The game itself is maybe a bit easy if you're at all experienced with dodging enemies/traps, even if you choose the harder options, but it's enjoyable to challenge yourself to focus on the two competing aspects of solving the puzzles as well as surviving the challenges. My only criticism is that the puzzles can get a little bit repetitive! The 3x3s actually have only one valid pattern of placement (which is interesting!), which quickly makes half of the lower level challenges pointless. With bigger puzzles, I believe there is a lack of different constraint types which lead to repetitiveness in the puzzles, with most puzzles relying on what I would classify as 2 core concepts to solve. I'm still happy with the game and played it through to 100% achievement completion

imagine sudoku but violent solve puzzles while dodging obstacles

Good mix of puzzle and frantic dodging

If you don't like Sudoku puzzles, then this isn't the game for you. It really is that simple: Sudoku puzzles + variations and hazards, oh, and cheeky narration.

very nice!
