Game Description (Game published on 2008-05-14)
Known in Japan as “Kakuro” and in America as “Cross Sums” this game is sort of a cross between crosswords and sudoku.
this is my second attempt at a flash game… be kind :)
Note:
I made a few upgrades, added a second page of puzzles. Added a bonus level for each column of puzzles completed. I tried to make the bonus levels much more difficult. Good luck.

Flag this comment as inappropriateI found an awesome undocumented feature! When checking for completeness, the game properly accounts for any negative numbers!

Flag this comment as inappropriateadded functionality so that if you have a number entered into a box, and you hit that number again it removes number.
i.e.
you have a box with “3456” in it. you press “6” and it will remove the 6 in the box so it now reads “345”

Flag this comment as inappropriatethanks for the suggestion crythias, i have added use of movement with wasd and arrow keys. using the helper you can use the mouse to enter a number. so that way game can be played with only mouse or only keyboard.

- Love Kakuro. If anything else, I'd like to use the arrow keys/WASD to move between boxes, or click and a 3x3 box to enter/choose a number is possible. The better (imho) crossword interfaces use the [Spacebar] to choose whether to to go across or down. If you get to choose multiple numbers, though, then that won't work. (I can't currently type [3][1] for \4 [ ][ ]). Going back and forth between mouse and keyboard is tedious. Also, a timer would be nice.I don't care about the music because I mute everything here anyway.
Finishing a puzzle should offer to go to the next puzzle in the set. Start/Continue don't work intuitively, because other games might reset completely if you choose "start". "continue" doesn't make sense: if you've finished a puzzle, "continue" may return you to that completed puzzle, not go to the menu to choose a new puzzle.

Flag this comment as inappropriateI have done them all, inc. bonuses, up to puzzle 29 (and they’ve all been fine); i.e. I’m on the fifth column (coz I didn’t notice the second page of puzzles until I’d finished the first).

nice job rosw, have you solved any of the bonus puzzles, or puzzles on the second page yet? i see 3 people with a score of 18, i wonder if the extra puzzles i added are not counting towards the higscore…

Flag this comment as inappropriateGreat game. I love it (especially the way the text gets bigger when there’s less in a square
- very satisfying). And I love the way it’s so easy to make notes (they don’t even have to be numbers).
—But I’ve got a problem with Puzzle 29: the top left corner has 5 as the sum of just one box, and 3 using 2 boxes, one of which is the box with the 5—and this is obviously undoable. Also the 24 below the 5 has no boxes, and 23 can’t be done in 7 boxes. Does anyone else have this problem?-

Flag this comment as inappropriateThis is fun :D
...save is screwed up, though, I beat the first one after beating the next three, and it won’t register as being completed :c
