If you have an iPhone or iPod touch and you also like to play Sudoku, you probably know it’s hard to do on such a small screen. That’s why Apple introduced the iPad. Not specifically for playing Sudoku ofcourse, but the larger screen opens up new possibilities and makes playing certain games easier. Sudoku Real Edition is one of those games.
Sudoku Real Edition for iPad will be available in the iPad App Store on day 1. The game’s developers say the following about their decision to release this app for the iPad:
“Squeezing 81 squares onto an iPhone really sucks and this is why we’ve implemented it on the iPad.”
The game has 400 puzzles in four different difficulties. The game also records your progress through all of the 400 puzzles. It shows your best time and average time in each difficulty. There’s even an option to tell you if an entered number is correct or not. And the game has some nice special effects when you compete a puzzle. No word on the pricing though.
Here’s what the developers say about how much thought went into developing the UI:
“Our game is unique in the way it aims to be as real as possible. When you’re playing it’s almost as if you went down to the store, bought a Sudoku book and sat down at a table to play.
Sudoku Real Edition is about taking a game everyone knows and implementing it into a polished, tailored app specifically for the iPad. Sudoku Real Edition has been created to be as real as possible so your mother or uncle will know how to play because it’s just like playing a real sudoku book.
The game graphics look incredible with the iPad’s higher resolution. All major graphical elements are real items we photographed which provides a great feeling of realism. The sound and animations have all been modelled off a real book. Instead of a “pause screen” for example, Sudoku Real Edition implements a bookmark that slides into place. There is also “no wrong way up”, everything automatically animates into the correct location regardless of how you’re holding the iPad.”
