Hue9: Color Sudoku

Made with care. Good game to pass time and train the mind

I love playing color sudoku, and have been looking for a simplified, beautifully laid out app version for many years. Was seriously thrilled to finally find this one! The design is super clean, pretty, and wonderfully customizable. Absolutely love it. What I don’t love is the competitive-style play, and really wish it could be turned off. I want to play to relax and wind down, not be stressed about my time or losing points over a misclick. I just don’t need to track my points in order to keep wanting to play. I’ve already been playing (other, much less aesthetically pleasing) color sudoku apps for years. Ideally would like options to toggle off the points mode, as well as the option turn off individual features such as the timer, immediate notifications for wrong moves, and losing points for wrong moves or hints. If I’ve made a mistake and get to the end of the puzzle and it’s not a win, I’ll know there’s a mistake. Or, another nice to have feature could be a “check for errors” button. Other small nitpicky annoyances: - the hint button is really easy to hit accidentally. I never want hints anyway, but losing points for hitting it makes its current placement extra stressful. Or maybe don’t move it, but add a confirmation check before giving the hint? - often when I leave the app mid-game, then go back to the app, the app goes back to the home screen and that game is lost. I’ve played other similar apps that never did this, so not sure what the issue is here. (Note, this is just when I move out of the app; I’m not talking about closing the app and trying to go back.) Anyway, overall I’m still so happy this app exists. Thank you!!
