3Doku

3Doku is an innovative Sudoku game for Windows computers. It is still a Sudoku game, in which you have to solve a mathematical puzzle on a sheet with 9 by 9 grid so that you use each number from 1 to 10 only one time in each row, column, and smaller grid.

3Doku, however, brings this to a new level by rendering several Sudoku puzzles in a cube in three dimensions. So, you can grab the cube and move it around to reveal new Sudoku puzzles. The fact that there is a 3D cube laying around doesn't make the game any different. The rules are the same and the difficulty is the same. It just happens that you have to complete the whole cube before moving on to a different set of puzzles.

The 3D rendering looks nice, but it is not really responsive. There are two balls showing the position in which you are moving on the puzzles. If you drag the cube around, the three puzzles that you see will change. At any given time, you see the Front View, the Side View and the Top View. Moving the cube around changes those views with the remaining puzzles. Once you complete all the puzzles, you move on to the next level. You can restart the game whenever there is a puzzle you just can't wrap your head around. There is a cheat feature that allows you to see possible solutions in real time.
