A challenging minimalistic logic puzzle. The difficulty ramps up quickly as new mechanics are added, though varies from level to level. It could use a few additional features such as mid-level saves and the ability to mark available numbers as used before committing (or move them next to a column or row). Overall, it is a nice time-sink. EDIT: Update to mention the final 3 "bonus" puzzles are a real disappointment and need an overhaul to be enjoyable.

A relaxing but challenging logic puzzle game; similar to killer sudoku, but with clever new mechanics. What makes it especially interesting is that cells can have one of two colors, while the provided clues usually only suggest the sum of one color, making it that more difficult to piece things together into the one correct solution. The game works without issues on Linux.

[i]Всё новое - хорошо пропитое старое. [/i] Puzlogic не предлагает ничего оригинального. Это лишь вариация на тему судоку. Но сделано классно и с дополнительными фишками - необычные фигурки, разноцветные циферки, необходимость следить за суммами в рядах и группах клеток... Хороший мозговой штурм. Уровни проработаны. Чистая математика, без применения метода "проб и ошибок"! Исходных данных с лихвой хватает, чтобы вычислить единственно верное решение. Нередко придётся хорошо поломать голову, чтобы понять, от чего оттолкнуться и начать распутывать узелок. С другой стороны с подсказками автор даже перестарался - часто даётся много лишней информации, которая никак не используется при решении. Видимо, хотел "упростить" жизнь игрокам. Но даже с таким упрощением на решение последних уровней уходит до получаса. Всего же уровней 64. Первую половину можно одолеть за 2-3 часа, а чем дальше - тем сложнее. Интерфейс простой и удобный. Мелкие шероховатости есть, но в целом автор старался реализовать всякие удобные полезняшки. Единственный минус - в задумке проходить уровни "без ошибок". Это не проблема, но совершенно лишнее для игрового процесса. По сути в конце уровня достаточно сделать скриншот решения, а потом просто заново за полминуты подставить циферки для идеального результата. Хотя повторюсь - решения вычисляются, потому ошибиться можно разве что случайно. Вроде игрулина простая до банальности. Но отлипнуть от неё сложно. Кратос ждёт-недождётся своего кусь, а я свой математический талант бездельничаю в паззлике.
I would almost put Puzlogic on the same level as the Hexcells series and Tametsi. The quality and consistency of the puzzles and the difficulty curve were just right, but the game was held back by some interface and display issues and one bad puzzle: *There is no space to organize the number tiles at the bottom *The initial sorting of the tiles is different for each level and has no regard for numerical sequence or color *The final puzzle (level "D") has more than one solution, but, at the time of this review, only accepts one of them
Je joue sur Linux. Version Linux : excellente. [h1]Le jeu[/h1] Un casse-tête minimaliste inspiré par le sudoku et le kakuro. Je ne connaissais pas ce dernier, en résumé je dirais que ça ajoute des additions au sudoku. Si au début on avance très vite, les niveaux qui demandent un bon temps de réflexion arrivent je dirais vers les 2/3 du jeu. Plusieurs mécaniques sont ajoutées au fur et à mesure, pour être toutes exploitées dans les derniers niveaux. Ce jeu fait partie de ceux avec une difficulté bien dosée :). Je lui reprocherais le manque de pouvoir organiser les blocs qu'on a pas encore posé sur la grille, ou bien une option pour les marquer d'une façon ou d'une autre, peut-être une autre couleur... il n'est pas évident de voir quels blocs ne sont pas encore utilisés quand on en a encore posé aucun et juste indiqué sur la grille des possibilités. Niveau réalisation, c'est dans la veine des autres casse-têtes minimalistes. L'interface n'est pas aussi léchée que certains, mais rien à lui reprocher non plus. La musique est oubliable, je l'ai assez désactivée, par contre j'ai trouvé les bruits de fond type feu qui crépite ou pluie qui tombe vraiment bienvenus. J'aurais aimé voir les mécaniques de niveaux E N D un peu plus développées dans le jeu. C'était pas mal de voir le niveau se complexifier au fur et à mesure. [h1]Rejouabilité, achievements[/h1] Aucune rejouabilité. Enfin, on aura oublié les solutions donc on peut toujours refaire les niveaux, mais bon... Pour les achievements, il suffit de terminer les niveaux. Je pense que les achievements pour les étoiles n'ont pas vraiment d'intérêt... un screenshot de la solution et hop on le refait sans aucune faute. Le seul niveau qui m'aura posé problème est le dernier (64), et un petit indice m'aura été nécessaire pour le compléter. Le jeu est à votre portée si vous aimez les casses-têtes :). [h1]En bref[/h1] Un bon petit casse-tête minimaliste. Recommandé. [h1]GNU/Linux[/h1] La version Linux est excellente, je n'ai rencontré aucun problème. OS: Linux Mint 19.3 x64, MATE edition. Hardware : i7 7700K OC@4.9Ghz, Nvidia 1080GTX, 32GB ram. Screens : Dualscreen, 1x 4K & 1x 1920x1200, un seul screen X.
makes sense
Puzlogic is a pretty challenging puzzle game. Its mechanics uses a mix of sudoku and kakuro. It starts off very easy but the difficulty starts to ramp up around the second half of the game. Towards the end, I was spending ~40 mins per level. I actually dislike kakuro with a passion but this game actually made it fun since the sums are never too great. Pros: -interesting puzzles -tough challenges in second half -clean layout -notation system Cons: -no saves mid-level -lack of work space (arrangement of tiles at the bottom depend on the level structure) -notation system could be designed better and without limits -bonus end levels 'N' & 'D' have 1 false solution each
A sudoku like puzzle game with irregular shapes and additional rules. It is actually really nice and it definitely made me fell stupid. Linux version of the game works without any issues.
Puzlogic is a solid little logic puzzler that focuses on having well-thought-out, handcrafted puzzles, with a nice difficulty ramp. If you like doing pen-and-paper puzzles - or if you enjoyed the mid-game puzzles of Hexcells - this is an obvious buy. The puzzles are nicely crafted, and more than worth the price. My only gripe is that the interface is a bit clunky in places - in particular, the heavy reliance on right-click-and-drag is a bit awkward with a trackpad on Mac. Still, the puzzles are solid enough to put up with a bit of interface issue. I'm hoping for a sequel, and perhaps a slightly nicer way to interact using a trackpad will come along there.
Truly a hidden gem of a puzzle game. Tons of hand-crafted levels that were a lot of fun to solve. Definitely a must-have if you enjoyed Squarecells or the such.
