Actual 3D Sudoku
A downloadable game for Windows
The "3D" sudokus that already existed were just normal 2D sudokus that didn't interact with each other, so I had to make one.
This game is completely free but if you feel the need, donations are appreciated. My paypal email is: dospuntosuveequisde90@gmail.com
There's 1 (one) 4x4x4 sudoku set with special rules that I could prepare. I need some help to set special 3D sudokus. So far the game supports arrows, between lines, palindrome lines and german whispers.
If you'd like to help me set these 3D sudokus, contact me at aaronf.bianchi@gmail.com or at discord: Jup#7140 to give you the instructions to see your sets in the game.
I plan to add more special sudoku mechanics like little killer sums, skyscrapers, diagonals, X & V sums and killer 3D cages.
The normal 3D sudoku sets were generated by Vegard Hanssen.

I do not see this sudoku board as a true 3d sudoku, I understand it more like solving 9 2d boards with each different input
After saving and taking a break, closing the program, the loading don't seem to work .. is it not possible to close the game and continue where you left off?
Numpad support.... PLEASE
Is there a way to make the game mac friendly, I see it's only for Windows
I would love that too...right now I can only use with Parallels on my MacBook.
Here is a bug that I often recreate, when in 2d view, clicking 2d view and then 3d view will create this messed up grid. I often misclick the 2d view when I am in 2d view to try go back to the 3d view. (BTW, This is a good game, thank you for making it)
Hello there. I'll try to fix that for the next update. By now you can solve that issue clicking on the "Reset view" button :)
Hi, I really enjoyed the game. Perhaps you could implement moving between squares using the arrow keys on the keyboard. I am currently writing a 3D Sudoku generator in Rust with support for "difficulty rating". Ping me if you are interrested. Thanks!
Hi. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I'm interested. Contact me via discord: Jup#7140 :)
Got to your game from watching Cracking the Cryptic. Will you be adding more games in the future, perhaps for a nominal purchase?
Can the timer be turned off in settings?
Keep up the good work!
looks really interesting, but it doesnt work properly for me, because i use 2 screens and for some reason it opens on the wrong screen and doesnt rescale to the correct 4:3 aspect ratio. any ideas why that may be (i use a 16:9 main screen)
Downloaded v 0.39, and it works properly now!
Thank you for such a great game
You are welcome!
Very fun game and novel idea! Enjoyed every second of it. A few critiques:
- There seems to be some scaling issues with UI (my screen resolution is 1920x1200.)
- More variations of colors could be nice. Someone else already suggested to put given numbers and numbers you fill in as different colors, and maybe you can put the axes as different colors too, or something
- I know this game is aimed more at advanced players, but as someone who doesn't have a solid background in normal 2D Sudoku, even the first puzzle felt too mind-bending >_< wouldn't mind if you included an even simpler introductory puzzle
- If you accidentally mistyped a number, it's hell to debug at the end, scanning through every layer to find the error... could you add a little hint to help with debugging, maybe let the outline indicate whether the current layer has an error or not, instead of whether the whole puzzle has an error or not... (maybe it can be a toggle)
- Is there a reason you can put a 0 in it?
- The pause and resume icons should be swapped. When the timer is ticking, the "pause" icon should be shown, like YouTube video player
- When you pause the game, the music should be paused too
- It's unclear that the X button clears everything, better to just say "clear"
- Save/Load doesn't have a confirmation prompt, so I'm afraid to click them.
Again, this is really well done for a first game, kudos to you!
Thanks for all this feedback!
I've fixed some of the issues you listed. Check the current 9x9x9 version!
The reason I included the 0 is for its potential use in 3D sudoku variants
windowed mode is a great idea, thank you!
I think an undo button and a button to toggle between notes and digits would be nice.
Hello,
I've downloaded version 0.38, but 7zip says it cannot open the rar file. What to do?
Hello there. rar files can be opened with Winrar
Thanks, it worked. :)
a version that works on mac would be amazing!! really love this <3
Hi, I really love your game, the concept is really interesting, there is just one slight thing I'd ask, could you also include Linux versions of the game? Or is it not possible due to some weird stuff with Unity?
I'm glad you like it. I'll try to do it
Oh this is so cool! I wish I could mark notes in the cubes, though, so I don't have to keep so very many numbers in mind as I track where each one is in all three dimensions.
Hold ctrl to select more than one block at a time and add notes
I really think it would be cool if the numbers were color coded
neat game. would be nice if known numbers and the numbers you put have different colors
Nice idea. Will try adding that
Hello, I love your game. If I could make a request, please make the break between songs shorter, it is really nice background music for the game but the silence in between the loop takes me out of the zone. I think this is a super cool adaptation of sudoku and I look forward to completing the entire cube.
Fixed! And there's also a new type of sudoku to try :)
