Before playing this I had ZERO idea how to play Sudoku. The game has neat tools designed to ease you into Sudoku and also a lot of QoL Sudoku "improvements", like autofilling places with a single option, that make the gameplay more fast-paced and snappy. The autofill feels especially satisfying with the Iphone haptics. There are also tutorials available, seperate ones for each difficulty level, that gradually explain more mechanics to you.

Highly recommend this, especially for people that don't know how to play Sudoku and want to get in on the fun.

Would be easy to just throw praise at this cleverly done mix of embroidery and picross but I do have some genuine gripes with this game:

- the difficulty
The difficulty is usually relatively low, especially if you are quite experienced in nonograms, because the puzzles are always split into small fragments, so no matter how big the puzzles are, you are usually just doing small fragments for a longer time.

- the size of the puzzles
Speaking of the size, the puzzles usually take a long time and if you finish a small fragment quickly you have to watch the same, long, kinda clunky animation that takes you to the next one with no option of skipping, yikes.

- no ability to "sketch" smaller parts
The game only accepts the length the number requires, you can't place a 1 block part in the middle to do the obvious move, as you would do picross, instead the game requires you to submit the right size before placing the next blocks.

Other than that, good job guys. Keep up the good puzzle games for Apple Arcade.
