Sudoku Life turns classic sudoku into a game that reacts to you: chain correct answers into combos, level up as you find your rhythm, blow away the fog that hides your numbers — and set the whole board on fire in Fever mode.
About
Sudoku Life is a free sudoku game for iPhone, iPad and Android. It keeps the classic 9×9 rules and adds combos, difficulty that levels up as you play, fog that hides numbers and a Fever mode. Five correct answers in a row raise the level; each level-up hides some of your filled numbers under fog until you fill them back in; keep the combo going on Hard and the whole screen ignites. Every solved board gets an S–C grade based on mistakes and hints, and your score goes to a weekly leaderboard.
Features
Every image below is real gameplay.
01 / COMBO
Chain correct answers into combos that burst with light
Every correct cell throws out particles, a shockwave and a score pop. The longer the chain, the bigger the callout and the brighter the sound. One mistake breaks it — rhythm is your score.
02 / FOG
Numbers vanish into mist — fill them back to blow it away
Each time you level up, 3–5 numbers you already placed roll under drifting fog (up to 15 at once). Use memory and logic to fill them back in — get it right and the fog blows away.
03 / FEVER
Keep your streak alive at max level and the screen ignites
Once you reach Hard, a combo of 5 or more sends you into Fever: the background, progress bar and number pad all burn red. One wrong answer and the fire goes out.
04 / FINISH
Every solved board ends with a celebration
Place the last number and confetti rains down, PERFECT! pops up and the board lights up cell by cell. Completing a whole row, column or box gets called out the moment it happens.
05 / GRADE
A flawless run gets the S stamp
The results screen shows your total score, time, best combo, mistakes and hints — then stamps an S–C grade. Your score is sent to the weekly leaderboard automatically.
