This mobile game offers you the full Kakuro game experience. You can generate new games or input your own Kakuro puzzle. Games can be saved and continued. The app helps you to solve the puzzle: it provides pencil marks, checks your input, reveals single digits and displays the complete solution.

The app is email-ware developed by Ive&Marcus (Freeware with a request): If you use it, please pass a short note to midlet@wintermute.de.

k4kur0 Game screen

This is the puzzle screen. Use the navigation keys of your mobile device to move the (yellow) cursor around. You can set and delete a digit by using your device's number pad. If your device offers pointer input, you can select a digit from the digit-bar and click on the cell to apply it to or delete it from. The clue cells are marked with bright color, if their sum can be build by only one combination (unique sum). If the entered row/colum values are not summing up to the given clue, the clue color will change to red. Use the # key to display and hide the game menu commands - on devices with pointer support click on the right arrow (twice) to show the menu.

Marker Mode

Switch between Pen and Pencil mode using the 0-key. In Pen Mode the digits are set via the number pad, in Pencil Mode tiny Pencil Marks are set. Pencil Marks are used to indicate possible digits for the current cell. If your device supports pointer input, you can also click on the pen icon to change the mode.

Status/Help Display

You can check the current elapsed time for the active puzzle by using the * key while the cursor is on a clue field. (If you have a pointer device, you can click on the right arrow icon). A small info area will be displayed. Time accounting will stop as soon as the puzzle has been solved. While you are on the clue field, you can use the number pad to input digits to the mini-sum-calculator: The # key will delete input digits, the * key enter a plus/minus sign for the calculation.

The game is displaying sum combinations for the current cell sums by using the * key while the cursor is on a digit field. The small info area will show the current horizontal and vertical sums together with the possible combinations. If there are to many combinations to be displayed, a + will indicate this. The combinations are reduced as soon as digits are entered within the sum row/column.

Game menu Commands
* Check command will check your input and indicate the cells with correct and wrong numbers.
* Zoom in and Zoom out commands will enlarge or reduce the font size of the game grid (4 sizes supported). On older devices and big grids, zooming in might result in an out of memory problem.
* Reveal digit command will display the correct digit for the current cell. This is a hint feature.
* Show a hint command checks the game and also tries to give a proposal which cell can be solved.
* Show solution command will display the complete solution.
