AnkurBulsarajudgeWorked really well. Good design and solid, smooth implementation.
Collaborative human-sudoku solving is an interesting idea.
Would be interesting to see how to make the experience more fun, perhaps different game mechanics.
mcouzinet
contestantIt’s fun. But I would have liked more game option
mattcshorejudgesylvinus
contestantWorks as expected, good idea.
(Incorrect entries should cost 2 or more points : when you have 2 boxes and 2 choices, it’s too easy to just try one, even if you’re wrong and loose 1, you gain 2 just afterwards with the correct combination)
brianarnjudgeLove the concept!

andrewfchenjudgeThere are a lot of sudoku games out there so I docked points for innovation. Overall the idea and heart is there but I wasn’t impressed with the execution. I just jumped into a game but it wasn’t clear if I was playing with someone else or not. It also didn’t allow me to put in numbers I wanted to. The lack of instructions weren’t helpful.
landlessnessjudgeclear and obvious interaction design. clean, pleasant visual design. i imagine it would be fun with multiple players online. nice work on creating a complete app.

judgeGreat design, solid implementation. Found trying to fill things in quickly an added fun challenge to the usual Sudoku regimen.

contestantA lot of fun while playing, missing a chat functionality a bit.
foxxtrotjudgeI’m a Sudoku fan, but this controls well, I encountered no problems, and the multiple player element adds an engaging and exciting element to a simple puzzle game. My only problem is that on my display, it wasn’t possible to see the entire board really clearly.

contestantWas cool to see others working along on the same Sudoku board, nice idea. I would like to see a better scoring system, one that discourages guessing.
- contestant
Yeah, we realized the scoring problem too late. But you are definitely right. Loosing more than one point when giving the wrong answer would be a solution. We’ll experiment when the judging is over.

contestantAwesome! Great work.

contestantLooks good… seems fun. But I would have liked more conspicuous expression of Node’s full potential.
chrisumbeljudgeeasy to cheat. pretty polished, though.
slightlylatejudgeWell played. The visual design is good, the project feels well-sized to the event, and as someone else said, props for the team name = )
berb
contestantNice game, bonus credits for your team name.
christopherbeckjudgeGame was very well done, however the Sudoko board itself was a wee-bit on the difficult side for most players. You should consider having a few more squares filled in to add to the pressure of moving fast and also to make it easier to get a new game going.

ryahjudgeThe app seems to work well. There was a bit of lag when initially connecting – and that was a little confusing. I must confess that I don’t know how to play sudoku – but I if I did, i’m sure this would be a lot of fun.
therazorbladejudgeWell done! The game itself can use some new ideas – just sharing one board with multiple people is odd when playing sudoku.
davidmoffitt
contestantI like the scoring, and the design is clean and simple (good thing). Well done!

sventuredjudgeVery cool, and relatively polished. There are other multi-player Sudoku games out there, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t fun!
mdeitersjudgeGreat job on building a great looking app thats fun and works. I’m not much of a sudoku player but I could see this being legitimately addictive.

Not clear how to play the game in multiplayer mode.
