The art / music has a great vibe (really makes me feel like im playing sudoku in space)

Cool entry! I'm dreadful at sudoku, but this is a well made game. I'm also a fan of the art, nice work!

This is honestly probably the most correct interpretation of the theme :)

Some suggestions for implementing a sudoku game:

  • Instead of red lines for each 3x3 box, use much thicker black lines. This is the standard in sudoku and makes boxes much easier to discern.  This is especially necessary since changing the resolution can change the thickness of some of the other black lines, which really messes with how you see the 3x3 boxes.
  • You have to make sure that your generated puzzle doesn't have multiple solutions so that each puzzle can be solved properly.
  • As others mentioned, the ability to add notes to cells is a must.

Thanks for the feedbacks! I totally missed the fact that just because 17 clues is the minimum amount required to construct a unique answer doesn't mean that automatically there is only one answer for all sudoku with at least 17 clues.

Nice job! 

I thought it was a bit hard to see the 9 boxes on the screen, but otherwise enjoyed my time.

Nice job!  One thing that would be nice to have is some sort of note-marking functionality beyond the few colors.

I agree with you, noted and thx!

This is nice! The music and art is a really nice vibe. I did find the font a bit tough to read, especially for something like Sudoku, but otherwise I had a nice time. Managed to get one board finished :)
