Sudoku Strike: Arcade

New: Survival & Speed Run modes, a weekly challenge with its own leaderboard, a smart hint ladder, and a guided Learn-to-Play. Lock on, launch, clear the grid.

Sudoku, reimagined as an arcade artillery duel.

Your craft sits at the bottom of the screen. Lock onto a cell, arm a number, and LAUNCH. Nail the right number and the cell detonates and locks in. Fire the wrong one and the target shoots it right back — take three hits and your hull is scrap. It's the Sudoku you know, turned into a fight.

WHY IT PLAYS DIFFERENT

• Big, forgiving tap targets — no more fat-fingering the wrong cell.
• Three actions kept cleanly separate, so nothing ever fires by accident: tap a number to scan, tap a cell to aim, hit LAUNCH to fire.
• Tap any number or cell to light up its row and column and trace the grid.
• Never played Sudoku? A guided Learn-to-Play walks you through a real match.

TRACKERS — YOUR PENCIL MARKS Not sure about a cell? Drop a numbered tracker beacon and keep it as a note. Drag a rectangle to mark a whole region at once. When you correctly strike a number, every matching tracker in its row, column, or box detonates automatically.

A HINT LADDER THAT ACTUALLY TEACHES Stuck? Climb four levels — name the technique, learn it on a sample board, locate it on your grid, then apply it. Your first hint each time is free. The engine reads your own trackers, so it never wastes a hint on a step you've already made.

EARN YOUR HULL BACK Clear a full row, column, or box and you SECURE THE SECTOR — repairing a hull point and banking a bonus. Chain fast, back-to-back strikes to build a score combo up to 5x. And when logic runs dry, take a Leap of Faith: risk a hull for a hull.

MODES
