PSP Numpla & Oekaki Puzzle - New Import, Ships Today

NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» Sudoku and Oekaki Logic puzzles are popular diversions in Japan with loyal fans consuming thousands of published puzzles each year. Publisher success collects 1000 Sudoku and Oekaki exercises of varying difficulty on a single UMD which should keep players busy for a while.

   Numpla is another name for Sudoku with the same rules and game play strategies. Sudoku is a game of numbers where the digits 1 through 9 are placed in a 9x9 play board. Sounds simple enough but the rules dictate that each number can only appear once in any one row or column. Furthermore, the 9x9 board is broken up into nine distinct 3x3 areas that can only hold the numbers 1 through 9 in its squares and no number may be repeated in each 3x3 area.

   The Japanese word "oekaki" translates approximately to "doodle" or "draw" and Oekaki Logic refers to picture creation puzzles where a grid is filled in with colors by following the numbered clues at the side and top margins. For example, if the first line of a grid has the number "1" that's colored green on the left margin, that means there's a green block measuring 1 unit to be filled in somewhere in the first line of the grid. To find out where it is exactly, look at the markings at the top margins of the grid to find a logical matching assignment. Fill the grid in properly by following the clues and a rudimentary picture appears when you're done - be it an image of a turtle, a cabbage, or a duckie.
