Meta Sudoku: Ultimate Update (Part 1/2)

After months of waiting, the new version is finally here!


1.240 New Classic Mode Levels and Endless Mode Content


Over the past three months, I dedicated the majority of my time to crafting these puzzles. Each level is meticulously designed to ensure a single, unique solution.
  • Structure: All puzzles are presented with rotational symmetry.
  • Difficulty: The levels gradually increase in difficulty, with each tier becoming significantly more challenging than the last. Overall, these puzzles are harder compared to previous versions.
  • (Note: This update might invalidate previous Classic Mode records. However, this change ensures a better gameplay experience, as past puzzles might have had multiple solutions.)

2.More Compact Grid Layout



The split layout has been removed, and the Sudoku grid is now more compact. This layout enhances efficiency during gameplay. (If necessary, a customizable layout feature may be added in the next update.)

3.Night Mode Removed


The old Night Mode color scheme was suboptimal, so this feature has been removed. In the next update, youll have the option to fully customize the color palette.

4.New Sound Effects and Completion Animations


5.Number Inspector Moved to the Bottom


This change not only improves aesthetics but also leaves room for new features coming in the next update.

6.Massive Theme Update: 6 New Geometry Themes + 6 Gradient Themes






Features Coming in the Next Update:


[olist]
  • A brand-new UI system
  • Multi-select: Make notes for multiple cells simultaneously
  • Full-grid marking options
  • Post-level review: View the solution and completion time.......

  • [/olist] ...and much more!

    Of course, these features will take time to develop. In the meantime, enjoy the game!

  • Summer major updates

    Hi,Bro,It's been so long and finally updated!


    First, let's take a look at what updates have been made this time:

    1. New feature:


    When the mouse enters the grid, you can take notes or fill in numbers directly using the numeric keypad or full keyboard. Shortcut keys: Fill in the numbers: 1,2,3 Taking notes: shift+1,2,3... (left shift/right shift)

    2. Bug fixes:


    • a. In previous versions, using the numeric keypad may have blocked the shift function of the main keyboard
    • b. Sometimes, after completing a level, the corresponding prompt cannot be completed
    • c. Sometimes unable to automatically check for incorrect options
    • d. Some older computers flash back directly when switching resolutions
    ..... The above issues have been perfectly resolved in this version!

    3. Old style, update some new theme backgrounds:


    Geometry:





    Gradient:





    ---------------------------------------------- I am very sorry for waiting so long to make an update because I have been developing an ultimate version!

    Ultimate Version Preview: New UI, new levels, new interaction methods, custom Sudoku grids, view your own solutions Coming soon!

    Super Major Update !

    Hi, loyal fans of Meta Sudoku, I apologize for keeping you waiting for too long this update. During this time, I have been doing two things: 1. Fix some player feedback issues 2. Develop my new game: Meta Matrix Fortunately, Meta Sudoku's content update is complete, let's take a quick look:

    Major updates:


    • 1.25 brand new Pack levels: Pack VI
    • 2. Six brand new Ultra levels that are extremely challenging
    • 3. Add two new achievements, which may be difficult to complete
    Fix bug: Some players have reported that they are unable to use the marking hotkeys, Alt+1.2.3... The root cause is that the shortcut keys on the player's computer are different, so I have added more marking hotkeys that can be used: Ctrl/Shift/"+"+1.2.3

    Daily updates:


    • 1. Add 5 background themes




    • 2. Change some UI
    • 3. Enlarge the number grid font

    Thank you all for your continuous support of Matrix Science !

    As an avid Sudoku enthusiast, I often spend an entire afternoon doing Sudoku puzzles to pass the time, but some of the Sudoku games on Steam were unsatisfactory (e.g. UI, operation, experience, etc.), so I started learning the programming language and developed my own Sudoku game, Meta Sudoku, in a few weeks!

    Meta Sudoku is a minimalist puzzle game

    Your only goal is to fill in the spaces in a 9 X 9 square with 1, 2, 3, all the way up to 9 numbers based on known numbers, so that there are no duplicates or missing numbers in each row, column, or palace of 3 X 3 of the entire square.

    The rules are very simple, but it's not easy to give all the correct numbers. Metasudoku is perfect for exercising your brain while relaxing in your spare time, and I'm always trying to provide the most comfortable experience for players.

    The idea for this game came from the fact that some games of the same type on Steam (Miracle Sudoku, Sudoku Universe, Thermo Sudoku, etc.) were not very good in terms of UI, operation, etc., so I developed this game based on those games and some of my understanding.

    Thank you for your feedback and great support for Metasudoku, if you encounter problems with the game, misleading content on the store page, want to give comments and suggestions or even simply want to say hello, you can contact me through the Steam game forum or email, I will try to take the time to have a pleasant conversation with you, if I do not recover your message in time, then I am very sorry, I may not have noticed, or too busy. I may not have noticed, or I may have been too busy, and I will try to avoid it.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this article and I truly hope you enjoy my game. Y.J. ------Matrix Science
