Was fun to play, I just wish there was a fullscreen function!

Wah nice, a Sudoku editor!

At first, I thought this game would not be challenging at all. I was quickly disabused of that notion when I actually played it. Great idea, and very well presented. Well done!

Creative approach, I really like it. Good job

Does my head in more than just sudoku. Great work!

Super creative idea and the game looks very professional! I do agree with others that it would be nice to play this with a smaller board.

Bit too big brain for me, agree on wanting to try this with a smaller puzzle first. Appreciate the clean UI and presentation though. I liked the detail of the eraser marks getting darker if you keep writing and erasing in the same spot. Generally nailed the "pencil" feeling of the game.

Really nice graphics and presentation! I'll second the font choice critique ... it was a little overwhelming. One suggestion ... would there be a way to do a smaller or simpler board as a tutorial level? (But keep in mind I'm not a big sudoku player so I might not be the target audience. Hahaha.) Thanks for making and sharing, friend!

Quite an interesting take on the theme, and it was fairly enjoyable. The only real criticism I have is that it can be kind of hard to read some of the numbers.

Thanks for the feedback.

For the numbers, I wanted them to be handwritten with multiple iterations, so that all the '1's don't look the same like in a handwriting font. I had two options, to draw the sprites myself or look for a pre-existing set. I ended up using a dataset that I had for machine-learning to identifying handwriting. They were very low resolution but I thought 'I can just sharpen them and they would look fine'.

So yeah, I should have drawn the sprites myself instead of trying to shortcut it. The current numbers looks terrible.
