This type of logical puzzle was first seen in the Japan Puzzle Championship 2006 and is sometimes known as Doppelblock, or Smashed Sums. When played with pencil and paper, these puzzles can be hard work to solve. Sumaddle changes that by adding the essential element of interaction. This transforms the puzzles into intriguing brain teasers that unfold before your eyes.

Each puzzle has a unique solution. Finding the solution involves fitting the number combinations to the clues. The app makes it easy to view the possible combinations, you don’t need to do any sums in your head. Instead, you can focus on using logic to narrow down the combinations and find a fitting arrangement.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

New multi-select capabilities, together with some small corrections and fixes. The changes in detail:

• When multiple squares are selected by swiping (sliding) along a row or column, all squares that are not blocks are now selected together. Previously, multiple squares could only be selected together if they were all either inside or outside the blocks.

• New settings for multi-select make it possible to adjust the current selection. Squares can be added to the selection, or removed from the selection, or the whole selection can be inverted. The new settings can be found on the settings page for optional features.

• Pre-filled blocks in 9x9 puzzles are a little darker in all display modes.

• Fix for an issue where the timer for a puzzle would not always start correctly.

• Fixes for propagation issues when the candidate values of squares are changed.

• The sliders used for setting the volume level and red-filter effect now snap to the step positions correctly.

• Further attempts to prevent the Game Center access point from appearing on pages where it shouldn’t. This was sometimes happening when returning to the app after it had been inactive for an extended period.

The new multi-select capabilities may be particularly useful for when a row or column has n squares with exactly n candidate values. For example, if there are two squares which can only take the values 1 or 2, these two candidate values can be eliminated from all other squares in the same row or column. By selecting all the other squares together, the values can be removed from all squares at once.
