Enjoy an intellectually challenging puzzle game.

Snoodoku is the new puzzle game from Dave Dobson, creator of Snood. Like Snood, it is non-violent, intellectually challenging, and non-confrontational. Snoodoku is based on Latin Squares, first posed by Leonhard Euler in 1783, and more recently developed into a game known as Number Place or Sudoku, popular in the U.S. and Japan. This popular 81-square puzzle game is found frequently in newspapers and puzzle books and has become quite an obsession among puzzle enthusiasts.

Sudoku with Snood characters allow matching with color
garyperlmanNovember 9, 2012
Pros
Reasonable Sudoku game with Snood characters. Snood characters are colored, so you can match on color, which is much easier to do than matching numbers. Different difficulty levels: child, easy, medium, hard, and evil. Shows when all of one number/color have been identified. Keeps track of errorless games. Has crystal ball mode to allow you to make choices without committing.
Cons
Solver and hints might be useful to a mathematician, but not me. Uses more CPU than you'd expect.
Summary
It's Sudoku with Snoods. Compared to other Sudoku games I've tried, Snoodoku is about in the middle of the pack when I think about features for keeping track, but what makes it my favorite Sudoku game is that the Snoods are colored, which makes visual search much, much, much, much easier. Make that five muches. Most people would do medium or hard puzzles, and evil requires lookahead using the crystal ball. Commit your choices in crystal ball mode and you get great feedback if there are any errors: all erroneous Snoods jump off the puzzle! During crystal ball mode, watch the feedback area that crosses off matched Snoods, and you'll learn the trick.
