Japsum (short for "Japanese Sum") is a free, logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle game. It’s similar to Kakuro or Sudoku puzzles, but with its own unique twist. Starting with an empty grid, you’ll use hints provided on the sides and top to place numbers or black boxes in the grid. The hints indicate the sums of consecutive numbers, with no black boxes in between. Multiple hints mean that sequences of numbers are divided by one or more black boxes. By using logical reasoning and interpreting these hints, you’ll make steady progress in filling in the grid with numbers and black boxes. Be prepared—especially with the larger grids, these puzzles can get very challenging! The app offers grid sizes ranging from 3x3 to 22x22—the largest puzzles of this kind, as far as I know. Every puzzle has exactly one unique solution, ensuring a fair and rewarding challenge. As you solve puzzles, your level increases, unlocking larger grids and fun bear avatars that you can choose to represent your progress. Best of all, Japsum is completely free—so you can dive into the world of Japanese Sum puzzles at no cost. Are you ready to test your logic and take on the ultimate puzzle challenge?

The hamster has escaped again! It was right there just a moment ago, but now the hamster has completely disappeared. Could it be under the desk? Beside the bed? Or quietly hiding behind the plant? Find My Hamster is a cute and cozy logic puzzle game where you search for an adorable missing hamster. Check each row like Sudoku, rule out impossible tiles like Minesweeper, and use the clues to figure out where the hamster is hiding in the room. It may look simple and adorable at first, but every tile holds an important clue. Look carefully at the color regions, rows, columns, and spacing rules to slowly uncover the answer. [ Hamsters do not hide just anywhere ] The rules of Find My Hamster are easy to understand, but each stage brings a deeper puzzle to solve. • One hamster in each color region The puzzle board is divided into several colored areas. Each connected color region has exactly one hidden hamster. Study the color regions and narrow down the possible hiding spots one by one. • Check the rows and columns There cannot be more than one hamster in the same row or column. Compare the rows and columns carefully, and some tiles will naturally become impossible while others will start to look more suspicious. • Hamsters are territorial animals Hamsters like having their own space. They cannot be right next to each other, not even diagonally. Rule out nearby tiles carefully, and the hiding spots will slowly begin to reveal themselves. • Tap only when you are sure! Do not rely on random guesses. Connect the clues and look for the moment when you can say, “It has to be here!” Every choice should have a reason. [ A hide-and-seek puzzle inside a tiny room ] The puzzle board is designed like different spaces inside a room. Look at the colorful tiles and cute furniture icons as you figure out where the hamster might be hiding. It might be beside the bed, near the bookshelf, or quietly tucked away behind a plant. But do not let the cute atmosphere fool you. To find the hamster, you will need calm observation and clear logic. The early stages are light and easy to enjoy, but the puzzles become smarter as you progress. As you rule out impossible tiles one by one, you will feel the satisfying moment when the hidden hamster finally appears. [ Game Features ] * Cute hamster-finding puzzles Meet surprised hamsters, playful hamsters, and sneaky little hamsters hiding in different places.
