Cross Set

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of you. In fact, I may have played this game for only a day or two. That being said, after doing so, I had a new joy and hope for life. I managed to leave behind the pain and suffering that had been thrust upon me. I could experience the joy and happiness of other people. I relaxed for 5 ♥♥♥♥ minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay. After realizing this, I turned off the game and went back to work. My hand hurt a lot, but I was motivated. I stopped feeling so sorry for myself and became the father I needed to be at that moment, not the weak boy I was behaving like. Today, I am close friends with the mother of my children. We don't fight, argue, or say hurtful things to each other. We are parents and friends. Now I have 3 children. My third child is, wait, ALSO 4 YEARS OLD. The woman I am with was going through a very similar situation at the time of my separation, and we just unexpectedly stumbled into each other's lives. We have been dating for a year and are very happy together. Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today. This silly little game helped me realize that. Thank you.

A relaxing puzzle game with a good progression of difficulty through the levels. I would recommend this to those who enjoy number or logic puzzles, but with three caveats. (1) A minor one: the music can be repetitive. There aren't many tunes, and the same tune plays throughout a level. So if a particular level is taking a while to solve, it can get annoying. The sound can be turned off (all sounds, not just music) by going back to the main menu; which brings me to the second issue... (2) A more major one: If you abandon a level part-way through, no progress is saved. This means that on the harder levels you have to solve them in one sitting, or leave the the game running until you come back to it. (3) A missing feature (IMO): You can lock a cell to the correct number, but you can't remove impossible numbers from a cell; e.g. if the choices are 3, 6 and 8 and you have worked out that it can't be 8, it would be very useful to be able to delete or otherwise mark the 8. With harder levels when cells have three or more digits this missing feature makes it more difficult to solve. In fact, on the later levels I resorted to copying the puzzle into a spreadsheet so that I could do this. In summary, a game that I enjoyed playing, which could be improved to make it even better.

An excellent sudoko-like puzzler. Not a TON of content here, but very good for $5 and under. I can highly recommend at any price below $5.

Не могу посоветовать игру. Часть головоломок слишком простые. Другая часть начинается поиском какой-то конкретной цифры в ряду или столбце, которая была бы единственной, что почему-то занимает немало времени. Нередко таких нужно найти несколько. А уже после головоломка решается слишком просто.

Not bad.

A nice, straightforward little game. If you like number puzzles such as Sudoku and KenKen, you'll enjoy this.

Really solid puzzle game with very simple mechanics but lots of variation. I think it would be nice to have some way to flag very obvious wrong answers (like two of the same number in a row) but otherwise the game is great.
