A Glimpse into Play Jigoku
Sudoku not challenging enough? Tease your brain with Jigoku, a Sudoku variant where notches in the cell borders, known as jigs, show the greater-than / less-than relationships between cells.
This app is inspired by the incredibly fun and tough puzzles made by Jim Bumgardner (see: https://krazydad.com/jigoku).
Minimalist Gameplay and Design

- Quickly and effectively solve the hardest of puzzles with simple to learn gestures and features.

Enter Guesses, See Highlighted Contradictions, and Undo Moves
- You can highlight guesses and placed values, enter guesses quickly with a tap or slide of the finger, and enter final values with a long press.
- Duplicates and guesses that conflict with final value selections are highlighted, and can be quickly deleted with a single button.
- Any action can be undone and redone while playing.

User Reviews on Play Jigoku

Our first introduction to Jigoku. Really fun. This app makes it easy to learn.
We play a fair amount of sudoku, but eventually hard becomes easy, therefore we were looking for an app that would deliver a bit more competition. We found that in this. The less than and greater than twist returns us to the difficulty that initially attracted us to sudoku. The app delivers a familiar gameplay without all the fuss found in other apps, instead choosing to focus on the brain teaser itself. We highly recommend it to fellow sudoku lovers out there. It does come with a sudoku option in case you get homesick. Fantastic app!
Fun game and a really well built app!
Perfect for a morning brain teaser or cranking up the difficulty for a tough mental challenge… Love the simplicity and how you can pencil in the numbers before you finalize them (A lot easier than literally penciling them in on paper and constantly erasing, which is a crappy catch 22 because if youre like us you play this game because youre a perfectionist and enjoy numbers but all of the sudden you have a messy piece of paper with eraser shavings and little numbers written all over!!)
