SumDoku — A Fresh Spin on Sudoku
SumDoku takes the logic puzzle you already know and adds one new rule: every row and column must not only avoid repeating numbers — it must also add up to the exact same total. Simple to learn, satisfying to master, and built as a single self-contained HTML5 file with zero build tools and zero dependencies.
✨ Key Features
- 3 difficulty levels — Easy (4×4), Medium (5×5), Hard (6×6)
- Separate screens — Start Menu, How to Play, Settings, and Game, each with its own clean layout
- In-game pause menu — Resume, Restart Level, Sound toggle, Home
- Hint system — 3 free hints per round reveal hidden row/column sums, plus a rewarded-ad flow to earn more (simulated ad included, real ad SDK integration documented in one line)
- Web Audio sound effects — every tap, placement, mistake, and win is a synthesized tone; no audio files to load
- Win celebration — confetti animation and an animated win modal
- One-tap social sharing — native mobile share sheet, X/Twitter, WhatsApp, Facebook, and copy-to-clipboard
- Fully responsive — mobile-first layout that scales cleanly from small phones to desktop
- Bold neobrutalist visual style — thick borders, offset shadows, bright accent colors, easy to re-theme via CSS variables
- Single HTML5 file — drop it on any host, wrap it in Cordova/Capacitor, or embed it anywhere
