People, please stop acting like spoiled opera divas. Alright, a next button would be convenient, but a lack of it does not signify "not caring about people who love and play his games". For god's sake, you have to click either one or two times more, an operation that I can perform in 0.2 seconds, and coupled with moving to mouse should still not take more than a second. Less than a second. That's what you lose, and I do not consider it enough to take a well-deserved point off this excellent puzzle collection. Five marks.

Nice to see Kenken on Kong, but there's a bit of an issue re: time. I was doing the last puzzle in the second level, and my finger slipped, hitting the 4 first (correct), then 5 (incorrect). It gave me credit for finishing the puzzle in 0:50, but then showed the puzzle with the 5 in place. After I changed it to a 4, it gave me credit for finishing the puzzle again, but in 1:43. I think it added on the initial time of 0:50 to the "second" time of what was probably 0:53, since it took me about 3 seconds to put the puzzle right again. Don't know if this is going to be a thing, but I thought you should know.

It's an earlier game:

Here you can randomize/customize the puzzles too...

Like sudoku but easier. I also appreciate that the options for completing the math problems are shown when I scroll over the boxes. I would hate to hurt my brain doing simple arithmetic.

Awesome game, needs a 'chievo for level 3. Just a minor niggle, it would be better if trial numbers could appear larger but in a different colour or shade, it kind of throws off your rhythm if you have stare at the smaller numbers, in the end I just threw in the numbers keeping track of my certain numbers.

@Xotano You never have to guess at these types of puzzles. In the game you mention, you can use the '4 total' rectangle in the bottom right to deduce that the '3 total' rectangle above it must read '2 1'

I don't like the error checking. It simply compares to the solution instead of actually checking to see if you just have numbers that are used repeatedly so you can figure out the solution on your own.

can we shut up about the little things? i play the levels starting from the last level to the first, it's a great game and who cares if it doesn't have a "next level" button, god forbid you have to click two extra times. and so what they used the same template as the other games? it's a good template about the little things?

Wait... that's actually an existing japanese game, I play it often in my jap game book I use on the throne.
The help and number suggestions make it easy though...

oh, multiply... then ignore my previous comment, and please make the instructions clearer for those dummies like me who assume this is a sudoku...
thanks for the nice puzzle games, by the way, I'm very fond of them ^^

@vmills: Only on their main site do the puzzles have the option to remove the arithmetic possibilities. BUT if you use firebug and find your way across the site's code to the flash object, you can manually set the height to 340 and crop them out. Of course you'd have to reset it for the level select screen...

I enjoyed this game. Like the other games these guys create. Enjoyed but I agree they really dont need to show the solution if you already got it done. Whats the purpose of that, its not any picture or anything. Also if you know how to do Sukdoku (?) that will come in handy here. A little music would be nice but overall nice game!!!

Another great game - sure, a next level button would be nice but I have no hesitation in scoring 5/5 as is. Can't wait for your next offering!

Maybe instead of having a badge for doing all of the easy puzzles, have an equivalent for doing one of the harder ones, because if you can do the harder ones, the easy levels are boring and tedious, and you'll obviously be able to complete them.

Puzzles are too easy, just a matter of time before we solve it. User interface is bad, there is a lag time between the selection of the box and the selection of the number. I'd really prefer if we could just click on the box and press the respective numbers.

Can't tell if catpaw is trolling or just stupid... Anyway, the game is enjoyable, but like a few others, I'm disappointed they didn't fix some problems that were present in past games.

@perfumefart. You will still need the additions at some point. Life was just easier for you, and if you don't want the cheat, then don't use it. Scumbag.

The 2 comments i see below say "too easy" with down votes and "So hard" with down votes. That says alot to me ;p ..... Anyway I found levels 1 & 2 fairly easy. Level 3 was a little hard, it took me 13min just on the 1st puzzle. Good puzzle game, maybe better if we could zoom in or the game was a little bigger? And +1 to the top comments, I agree ;p

For such a crappy game in terms of rules and how to play, I'm addicted, but only 'cos I wanna get the badge. Crap game; 15 points achievement. That doesn't fit. -.-

stop1it - I agree that the puzzles are too easy, but any logic/math puzzle can be solved with time. You can enter the numbers into the box just by hovering over it with your mouse and typing the number. You don't even have to click...

Too simple to be fun. The lack of challenge actually constitutes this game boring as opposed to enthralling- a special characteristic quality that all good puzzle games incorporate. However, the levels were pretty elegant and I managed to somewhat alleviate my irrational tendency to sporadically kill people by playing this game, so this contribution deserves a 4.5/5 imo.

I only gave it 3 stars because it's a much easier and smaller version of an existing game: Killer Sudoku. Yes, it's added subtraction, multiplication and division to the wonderful world of sudoku, but with the display of what components each section has, makes it almost too easy. In my eyes it's not added enough and has an interface that, while good, has some annoying items (such as the requirement to go to a menu to select the next game, and the inability to select many possibilities for a single square).
