Puzzler Sudoku, an interactive TV version of the popular puzzle game, has launched on Sky Gamestar. The ITV version of the game is based on content supplied by Puzzler Media, the company that publishes the UK’s best-selling Sudoku print magazine, and follows the same rules as the print version: players must fill in a 9×9 grid in such a way that 1) every row, column and 3×3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9, and 2) the same number does not appear twice in any row, column or 3×3 box.
The Sky Gamestar version also offers various interactive extras, including:
- Demo (provides information on how experts play Sudoku).
- Four levels of difficulty ("easy," "mild," "medium," and "hard").
- Cheat (if players need help with a number, they can click on a "Cheat" button to have the app fill in a random square).
- Pen or pencil (allows players to toggle between pen and pencil mode, and enter up to nine pencil numbers into a single cell, then delete each number as others are crossed off).
- Check (when the player has finished filling out the puzzle, the app highlights any mistakes: the player has the choice of correcting errors or simply moving on).
- Timer (displays the amount of time taken to complete a puzzle).
- HighScore (an extra game where players can submit high scores for a chance to win prizes).
- Skip (allows players to skip between grids: each level of the puzzle has three grids to work through).
- Rows & Columns (highlighted columns and rows).
- Paths (shows matching numbers across the grid).
Players can purchase three complete puzzles at any one level for 60p or purchase unlimited access to all four levels of puzzles for £1.00 per session.
