Kintsugi Sudoku | 3D Style HTML5 Puzzle Game

Kintsugi Sudoku is a fully responsive HTML5 Sudoku puzzle game inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi. It combines classic Sudoku gameplay with a distinctive dark lacquer and golden-seam visual style, creating an elegant puzzle experience for desktop and mobile browsers.

The game uses a 2D implementation with a 3D-style visual aesthetic. The 3D-style appearance refers to the visual presentation, including depth effects, shadows, layered surfaces and dimensional interface elements. It does not use a 3D engine or real-time 3D rendering.

Players can choose from four difficulty levels, track their solving time and mistakes, use notes and hints, pause and resume their game, and continue unfinished puzzles. The game also includes a statistics system for tracking personal performance and best results.

Classic Sudoku Gameplay

The objective is to complete the 9×9 Sudoku grid so that every row, column and 3×3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 exactly once.

Select a cell and choose a number from the on-screen keypad. Players can also activate Notes mode to enter candidate numbers while solving more difficult puzzles.

Notes and Hints

The built-in Notes feature allows players to add candidate numbers to individual cells while working through a puzzle. The Hint feature can reveal a correct number when the player becomes stuck.

Mistake System

Players can make up to three incorrect entries during a puzzle. The current mistake count is displayed in the game interface, providing an additional challenge while solving the grid.

Statistics and Progress

The game includes a statistics panel for tracking Sudoku performance and best results. Unfinished puzzles can also be continued from the main menu, allowing players to return to their previous game session.

Visual Design
