About the game

Toon-Doku is a sudoku game for Nintendo DS which attempts to substitute the numbers used in the original game for colorful images. The game features 99 custom sudoku puzzles widely ranging in difficulty, 9 different avatars, and 246 different images to substitute the numbers with. The game is fully customizable, allowing the player to choose not only his or her own avatar, but the background skin, music tracks, as well as all 9 of the symbols used to play the game (the game doesn't force the player to use images, one can choose to use numbers). Furthermore, the player is given a choice to draw his/her own unique set of symbols.

Who else? (NDS)
Name entry screen. Unlike most DS games Toondoku doesn't bother to read the name of your DS system. (NDS)
Avatar select screen (NDS)
Messy, messy, messy - forever is the way of Toondoku. (NDS)
The title screen (NDS)
Selecting a stage. (NDS)
The default background is seriously drab. It can only be changed manually from the Options menu. (NDS)
Round clear! Is it Errors, or Mistakes? Keep the terminology consistent! (NDS)
Even though some of the icons are quite interesting-looking, the only way to make the game playable is to use numbers. (NDS)
The game is essentially a commercially-published homebrew project, and this pause menu is a testament to that. (NDS)
YOU WIN MY INTERNETZ! (NDS)
The game features several well-drawn skins. (NDS)
More amateurish win-screens! (NDS)
And another skin - this one with a spooky castle. (NDS)
Yet another decent skin (NDS)
A multiplayer menu (NDS)
The skins sure are nice, but some of them are quite intrusive. (NDS)
A rather nice icon-editor (NDS)
As the game is geared toward kids, wasn't it a better idea to make tutorials visual? (NDS)
Playing against CPU in a Speed Battle. (NDS)
