About this game

Play a crossover variation of Sudoku and Kakuro! SumSudoku, also known as Killer Sudoku, are addictive logic puzzles best described as a cross between Sudoku and Kakuro. Using pure logic and simple add/subtract calculations, these fascinating puzzles offer endless fun and intellectual entertainment to puzzle fans of all skills and ages.

Each puzzle consists of a 9x9 Sudoku grid containing areas surrounded by dark borders. The object is to fill all empty squares so that the numbers 1 to 9 appear exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 box, and the sum of the numbers in each area is equal to the clue in the area's top-left corner. In addition, no number may be used in the same area more than once.

The game includes helpful features such as showing possible sum number combinations in an area and pencilmarks to make temporary placement of numbers in the grid.

To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.

For more fun, Conceptis SumSudoku includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

Good UI, easy to play. Would like to be able to customize background/number colors, but the default isn't bad. I especially like that it shows sum combinations - in addition, it would be nice if crossing out a possible combination also removed the pencil marks for numbers that are now excluded, rather than having to go back and remove them from each square. The long press to place numbers digit-first is also nice, though I wish there was a toggle to make digit-first default. Still good app 👍

excellent puzzles and game play, no ads! The only thing that could make it better is if there were a dark mode color scheme setting for late night play.
