### 2/5 — Wieder gelöscht

*2026-08-22*

Das war nicht mein 1. Spiel dieser Art. Die Gestaltung ist gut, dafür die Sterne. Ich habe auch 3,99€ ausgegeben um die Werbung zu entfernen. Aber was soll ich sagen, nach der Einführung wird es immer langweiliger. Die Hinweise sind schwammig, soll ja auch schwierig werden- aber Leute: manchmal gibt es auch mehr als eine Lösung …! Ich habe das mal ausprobiert: beim ersten Versuch war es falsch, beim zweiten Mal wurde es als richtig angezeigt und beim dritten Mal war es dann wieder falsch ( alle Lösungen waren identisch!!!) . Macht so keinen Spaß, hab es jetzt gelöscht.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-08-19*

Worth to play and pay for ad free

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work offline

*2026-08-17*

Couldn’t play the game offline. Unusable on a long trip or flight.

### 1/5 — Не открывается

*2026-08-16*

Скачала игру, но ничего не открывается, просто висит белый экран(

### 3/5 — Murdoku

*2026-08-14*

Die Zeilen zu markieren ist unpraktisch. Das wäre mit Häkchen setzen neben der Zeile oder Spalte besser

### 5/5 — Murdoku - Das Krimi-Sudoku

*2026-08-13*

Absolut süchtig machend! Ich bin ein großer Fan von allem was mit Krimis zu tun hat und ich liebe knifflige Rätsel äußerst spannend. Daher ist die Kombination aus beidem perfekt für mich. Und wenn man die nervige Werbung weggemacht hat, macht das Spielen gleich umso mehr Spaß!

### 5/5 — Découverte

*2026-08-10*

Génial

### 5/5 — Super gut

*2026-08-08*

Macht richtig viel Spaß

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2026-08-08*

I’ve tried a few of this style game and this is one of the better ones so far. My only complaint would be the inability to place an x in individual squares to block spaces that can’t be occupied. The long press to block a whole column or row isn’t all that helpful for me would much rather place x’s individually.

### 3/5 — Something is wrong

*2026-08-07*

The rules say only one person por row and column, but in two levels they said I was wrong because some people share the same row/column
