App Profile: Kakuro Endless

A very nice collection of right-sized puzzles—big enough to be interesting, but not so big as to be tedious or hard to work on. The interface is clean, elegant, and mercifully free of gratuitous animations. If a square has more than one value then they are guesses (valid options), if just one value that is your answer. You can also double-click a number to make it the answer. I do wish it had undo, as it is easy to change the wrong square by accident. But for free I am not complaining. My favorite of the Kakuro apps I tried (at any price).

I do like the simple clean layout. Some puzzles need the ability for the player to note the numbers that could appear in each square. Could you add a feature where the player can add the small potential numbers into a square. I have done a lot of Kakuro and the potential combinations can be very difficult. It’s always fulfilling to be able to solve logically. But, the ones that you have to guess with trial and error are very difficult on an app unless you can see all the potential numbers for each square. I finished puzzle 1 fine, but puzzle 2 has so many possibilities that it would take hours of guessing to figure it out. I could do this with pencil and paper along with the app but that kind of defeats the purpose of using an app.

I love everything about this app. The simplistic, clean layout is aesthetically pleasing. Operating the game is easy and functional. It is everything that I am looking for in a puzzle to calm my mind. At first, I thought some of the puzzles were unsolvable, it is both challenging and calming, at the same time. If there was a daily hint or something to get through the most difficult puzzles, I would gladly spend money on this app.
