Killer Sudoku by Sudoku.com

Really liked this app when I first started playing. I work the daily puzzle and also work my way through the older ones. I liked that they range in the different levels, although now every one I get is set at the expert level, so that means having to watch a video to get hints so I can at least get to the part that would make it hard. Why does it do that. I know I can just start a new game at any level I want but I like playing the daily challenges. Would give 5 stars if this is fixed. Update: Thanks for the reply from the app developer explaining things. The daily puzzle today was not an expert. I will take your advice and see what happens.

The dotted outlines and the shading that appears in columns and rows when a square is tapped are a big strain on my eyes. Making the dotted lines solid either in a different color or thicker would be enough to see which squares belong to a sum grouping. And, just highlighting the “like” squares is good enough (vs the rows and columns). I can visually line them up without that assist. I’m hoping these two things can be changed because they really do cause eye strain but the game play itself is excellent. I love being able to choose difficulty levels and a enjoy challenging myself to beat my own times.

I love the regular Sudoku game. And when the last event sported the “killer” version, I was elated! It looked complicated, but was actually really easy with the added clues. The only challenge came at the end, where no numbers were filled in. Still love this version, but I would rank the “expert” level more like easy-medium. I do agree with other reviews in that the gray dotted lines can be hard to distinguish. And the highlighted areas can be too dark to make out what’s underneath. Otherwise, still a great game.

I absolutely love this game so far. The only issue I’m having is sometimes my eyes don’t fully focus on the “cages” so I can overlook a number, and it kinda stinks when I make a mistake based on that. I found this game by an ad on instagram, and I think something like on that ad (all of the cages were color coded, in blocks that stopped where the cage did) would be extremely helpful. But overall I love this game, the ads within the game are bearable and don’t interrupt gameplay.

I have messaged twice and keep getting an (probably) automated message telling me to turn on auto-check. I already have that enabled. I’ve played about 6 daily puzzles today that are incorrect. A few puzzles allow several numbers to be entered in one box. One puzzle is complete and correct (according to auto-check), no numbers show up to fill, and it does not count it as completed. Also, most of the puzzles that are incorrect have boxes that do not add up to the number in the corner. I’m frustrated and annoyed that this is happening in general but also that I can’t seem to get a person to believe me/fix the puzzles.
