Houdah Software has announced the immediate availability of "Sudoku Duo - Dual Player Sudoku for iPad". "Sudoku Duo" is a dual player Sudoku game for the iPad. Players may collaborate or compete. A single player mode is also available. "Sudoku Duo" is based upon the same powerful Sudoku engine as ACTSudoku for iPhone. It is thus able to provide an almost infinite number of Sudoku games categorized in 3 levels of difficulty. Additionally it is able to provide intelligent hints.

Players sit at opposite ends of the iPad and each have there own Sudoku board. They try to solve the Sudoku puzzle by using both positive (green) and negative (red) pencil notes. In collaborative mode, each value entered by one player automatically shows up on the other player's board. The game ends as soon as one player completes the puzzle. The winner is the player who committed the most correct values, made the least mistakes and used the fewer hints.

"Sudoku Duo" may help players by blocking digits which are obviously no longer available and by setting positive markers for the remaining ones. You should further narrow down the possible digits by setting negative markers. Sudoku Duo 1.2 supports iPad autorotation by adding landscape versions of the menus and the single player game board. In landscape mode the player is presented with an oversized Sudoku board which makes playing even more fun. Sudoku Duo 1.2 also adds different looks to the number pad depending on the current entry mode: commit, green pencil, red pencil.

* Three modes: compete, collaborate, single player
