Well, fortunate the numbers only go up to 45 then, eh?

Same for me, I’ve not been able to wrap my head around Sudoku but Cross Sums make far more logical sense to me.

I am a bit crap with maths though.

I guess everyone’s different in how they solve puzzles, but these seemed easier to grasp for me. The amount of thinking was probably the same, but just in a different way, if you get my drift.

If the board size were larger, wouldn’t the numbers have to be smaller. Or the board would have to scroll, in which case it wouldn’t all be on screen at once. That’d probably make it harder, wouldn’t you think?

Easier? I thought Cross Sums was harder – which is a good thing. There’s more thinking involved. But board size could be larger.

From my time with it in review, I’d say it’s rather plain, but solid. Better than the previous Sudoku game, if only for the color customization. I changed the colors from the default, especially the red flashing warning you mentioned. That made it better. I wish more games made the same effort to allow for custom colors. Plus, cross sums seems easier than sudoku to understand.

Not the greatest game ever, but not crap like some of the other things out there.
