Hello! I played a few games and have some suggestions.
1. I think a "clear" option to erase the whole board would be nice, so I don't need to keep pressing the undo button.
2. The difficulty doesn't seem to change. If I select medium, the puzzle will still say it's on easy difficulty. I've noticed this for the 4x4, but I haven't tested other sizes yet.
Thanks!

A Clear button is a great suggestion, thanks!

Re: difficulties, 4x4 is a special case, because of the tiny size of the puzzle there really is no such thing as a "hard" 4x4 puzzle, at least in our existing library. So for 4x4 you can only choose Easy. Other sizes the difficulty selection should work.

the controls are a bit difficult when coming from the normal Sudoku - in particular I'm very used to my pencil markings automatically clearing when I fill in a number permanently. This is leading to frustration when I used the "Check" button to see my progress in the middle. Also, the check button just tells me that a certain number of cells have invalid pencil markings but does not clarify which cells those are - kinda frustrating.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see what I can do to improve the hint/check features.

1. I am frustrated by automatic error detection and penalty counting. I do a lot of misclicks and I know that a number I put in is not only incorrect, but also in violation of the rules, why am I being punished for it unless I click "check"?
2. it would be nice if you could highlight a number across the whole puzzle (both permament and pencil), like most of sudoku-like apps do
3. clearing pencils when you put a permanent number would be nice
4. "check" telling me if I have invalid pencil entries is unneccessary, and getting penalties for that is very frustrating. I want to check only permanent and getting penalty for that is fair. getting penalties for pencil is IMO unfair
