1 out of 5 stars Graphics too small!   March 28, 2008
T. W. Gorman
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I believe this would actually be a fun game if the graphics weren't so small. It is very hard to see what your doing. Sometimes you can barely tell the pictures apart.

The idea is great, but I was shocked by how small it is. I mean, if your doing a puzzle you want to be able to see what you are doing! Or then you just do it wrong!

I say they should come out with a different one and have BIGGER graphics. I don't like straining my eyes, it is suppose to be fun.

pictures are to small to see clearly. Some of the subject pieces look so smililar it is hard to tell them apart.


2 out of 5 stars Toon Doku fun but glitchy   February 4, 2008
J. Tschirn (Near Fredericksburg Virginia)
I'm a visual person so sudoku with pictures is a more natural and relaxing game for me, but this game is a little buggy - you drag the images to where they need to be but sometimes mid drag it will drop one image and pick up another or drop your image early and cause lots of errors which prevents you from unlocking new images. I find saving your progress after every few moves so you can restart and reload the game if it messes you up solves this issue, but is annoying. Also there are not enough easy puzzles - Playing the game I expect them to be simple, logical, and satisfying but after only 7 or 8 puzzles the difficulty increased to having to use the marker system a lot and make guesses all the time and I gave the game to my math/brain teaser inclined husband to finish instead of continuing to play. I did like the ability to create your own pictures to use, and the option to change which pictures you play with any time you feel like it. The distraction function during the boss matches seems unnecessary.


5 out of 5 stars Don't believe the complaints...   December 31, 2007

Some people complain that the pictures are too small to tell apart, and I'm amazed that these people are smart enough to play sudoku, but can't figure out the simple solution to this problem. With all the many different images to choose from, just make sure you select ones with different colors. In other words, something blue, something red, something green, etc... then there's no problem telling them apart quickly (unless you're color blind). I definitely agree that it's troublesome if you use images that are similar to each other, so don't! Also, it is VERY quick and easy to zoom in and out so you can get a better look at the images anyway. People like to put down a perfectly good product because they don't want to bother figuring out how to use it properly. If you like the idea, don't pass this game up because of those people. It's easily one of my favorites.

Toondoku is an awesome idea, but the product was poorly created. I got a stack of 10 DS games for Christmas, and this is the one I'm not happy with. I was so excited to get this, but the graphics are so poor I got a headache after just 5 minutes of messing around with it. Traded it in for about $1 credit at my local GameStop and considered myself lucky.
