My first game app

Friends,

I've just launched the first version of Play Hidoku, a puzzle game similar to sudoku. I invite you to try it out and would love to hear your first impressions:

- Did you understand how to play from the site's instructions?
- Was anything confusing or unclear?
- Did you encounter any issues during gameplay?

Try the game here: playhidoku.com

Thanks in advance :) 


Looks cool! I tried to play, but I’m not sure if I understand it, so I have to try again. I like visual examples so maybe include one image next to the rules would be helpful. Game itself works fine, I tried on my phone and I wish I don’t have to scroll to choose numbers. Anyway congrats on your build! 💪🏻

Thanks for checking it out; and I agree -- my next step is to add some visuals to the instructions to it becomes easier to understand.

Also, I need to make it clear that the numbers auto-select as you play on the board, to avoid the back and forth. Eventually, I want to get rid of the keypad :)

My brain is "braining" today. How do you play this? Maybe a sample video guide can help new players.

Looking at how @davidduwaer did it, now I understand.

Yes, I think more visuals and a small video will be needed. I might add a small interactive tutorial later. Thanks for checking it out :)

Apparently as for @leifjerami a single example solution can be enough. But maybe upgrading that to a gif showing a start state and then the matching solved state would be cooler.

A gif showing a puzzle being solved step by step?

Just how to start, maybe 10 seconds into the game. You don't have to cover until finished.

I love it!

Oh nice! you tried 2 puzzles. Good stuff. Thanks for taking the time to play

And yes, there is only one possible solution for each puzzle. I will make that more evident in the homepage.

It’s pretty cool game! I hope you polish it but more and definitely I will play it from time to time.

will do sir! 🫡 Looking forward to have you test the next iteration :)
