About

Arithmix

Features
Read full description

Arithmix is a fresh puzzle game that combines Sudoku's logic rules with arithmetic operations. HOW TO PLAY Fill each cell with the right number. No repeats in rows or columns! Numbers in colored "cages" must equal the target using the given operation (+, -, ×, ÷). Important: The position of numbers within a cage doesn't matter. For example, for a "8-" target, you can place 9 and 1 in any order — both 9-1 and 1-9 work since we're looking for the difference. FEATURES - 50 Handcrafted Levels Classic 9×9 Sudoku-style puzzles with arithmetic twists. Each level offers a unique challenge. - Four Difficulty Tiers Journey from Easy through Medium, Hard, to Expert at your own pace. - Achievement System Earn 19 unique badges.
