A downloadable game

I created the Odious Sudoku as a game design experiment to study the structure of the standard Sudoku grid. My goal was to find a new way of displaying a Sudoku that would be elegant but difficult to analyse, while keeping the underlying structure intact.

Rules:
Every shape, every color, and every collection of boxes connected by a line should contain all of the digits from 1 to 9.

Great project! How did you go about breaking it down into the new form?

Thanks! I was just looking for a strange way to display the Sudoku. Sudoku is kind of 3 dimensional, you have horizontal, vertical, and boxes, so I just thought of different ways those three dimensions, and the way they are connected to one another, could be displayed. Lines, shapes and colors seemed like a fun project, a good mix of game design and graphic design, so I went with that.
