About this game

What is Futoshiki?

Futoshiki is a funny logic puzzle game from Japan. In this game you need to fill all cells with numbers. Some cells can be filled initially, the rest is filled by the player. The game is very similar to the game "Sudoku", but it has a difference. On the playing field, in addition to numbers, there may also be signs (more, less). The sign between two cells means that one number is greater than the other. A correctly filled square must satisfy the following three conditions:
1. The numbers in each line should not be repeated.
2. The numbers in each column should not be repeated.
3. If there are signs (arrows) on the field, then the condition must be met. (One number is smaller than the other).

Levels.

In the program you can choose 6 difficulty levels (4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, 8x8 and 9x9). The larger the square, the more difficult it is to go through. If you play Futoshiki for the first time, we recommend that you start with a 4x4 square. At each level of complexity you will be offered 2000 unique game levels. The higher the number the more difficult. (Level 2000 is the most complex).

How to play?

To change the value of a cell - first select it, and then click on the numbers at the bottom of the screen to put a number in the cell. You can put several numbers in one cell at once, but the level is considered passed, when in each cell there is only one number. If you want to remove a number from the cell, select it and click the corresponding number in the bottom of the screen.

Ratings and reviews

Great interface, minimal ads This game has me hooked!! I love solving puzzles like this! Interface and controls are easy to use. There are no advertisements that pop up and they are located at the top of the screen and do not interrupt gameplay, so huge plus! The ONLY thing I would change is to add a hint button. I'm quite stubborn and if I can't solve one, it bothers me! *higher levels of course* I hate to move on without solving the previous one! Awesome game for the logic brains!

It took me a bit to understand the instructions. It would have helped if they explained which side of the symbol represented "plus or minus". Looking at the pictures on the app page helped. This isn't my style of puzzle game because I'm looking for something that doesn't require quite so much concentration. Tons of puzzles though so if you like them there's a lot to go through.

I am really enjoying this puzzle app. If you like Sudoku, but you have been just a bit bored with it, this is a fun, challenging change. I played the 4x4 until I learned the game and they became too easy, then I moved to 5x5, and up to keep me challenged. Very simple interface. I would be willing to pay, perhaps $2.99, for a timer and a way to compare progress with registered friends. I recommend this for logic puzzles lovers!
