Poodoku vs DEBUGGER

Poodoku is a cozy logic-puzzle whodunit for the whole family. Someone pooped in the house. You have a small cast of suspects, a floor plan, and a handful of clues. Read each clue, place each suspect in the right room, and the last empty square is the poop — the room it's in reveals the culprit. Every day brings three fresh puzzles — Easy, Medium, and Hard — across a 365-day archive so you can catch up whenever life gets busy. When you're ready to level up, Hard+ teasers open the trickiest 5-room grids. WHAT MAKES IT TICK Poodoku borrows the "one per row, one per column" backbone from sudoku or queens and pairs it with logic clues from a whodunit — "I was on the sofa," "I was beside the plant," "I was in the same room as Milo." Every puzzle is uniquely solvable through pure deduction. No luck. No shortcuts to the answers. FEATURES • New puzzles every day + full archive • Three difficulties every day, plus Hard+ bonus grids • Interactive tutorial that teaches the whole clue vocabulary • Streak tracker with an optional 7pm reminder • Mark cells with an X while you think • Drag-and-drop, auto-mark, and candidate-location hints — pick the input style that fits you • Light + dark mode, storybook art, big-tap targets • Optional Cats Pack: swap the default cast for 20 hand-drawn cat suspects FAMILY FRIENDLY Poodoku's puzzles are kid-approachable without dumbing anything down. It's the kind of game a 7-year-old and a grown-up can solve together on the couch. Cute art, gentle stakes ("someone had an accident"), no violence, no ads. QUIET, RESPECTFUL DESIGN • No ads, ever • No account required, we respect your privacy and don't sell your information • No urgency timers, no lives to refill, no dark patterns • One-time purchases only — no subscriptions • Play offline; the archive ships in the app If you enjoy Sudoku, KenKen, Nurikabe, Picross, or a good whodunit, Poodoku will feel like home.

■ It looks like a terminal. That's the point. Black screen. Neon green text. System logs scrolling forever. CPU load and memory pressure climbing. To anyone glancing over your shoulder on the train, you are debugging a complex production system. What you are actually doing is connecting three or more matching symbols. ■ How it plays You are an incident response engineer covering 16 data centers around the world. - Pick a degraded node on the world map - Travel there (the farther it is, the longer it takes) - Patch the bugs on site (that's the puzzle) - Earn experience and move to the next incident (credits arrive on promotion) Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Frankfurt, Sao Paulo, Cape Town and more. Travel time is derived from real geographic distance, so crossing the planet actually costs you time. ■ Three numbers are trying to kill you While you work, three resources keep rising: - CPU — above 72% sectors of the board freeze and become unusable - MEM — clearing five or more at once brings it down hard. Small clears barely dent it - TRACE — accelerates the higher CPU and MEM get. This is your real timer If any of them hits 100%, the session is lost. Clearing three at a time will never outrun the load. You have to build bigger COMBOs, and land them fast enough to hold the CHAIN multiplier. ■ Fatigue, and the engineer ladder Deploying and traveling makes you tired. Fatigue only recovers in real time, and going in exhausted means starting from a worse baseline. Knowing when to rest is part of the game. Patching bugs earns experience and promotions: INTERN, ENGINEER, SENIOR, STAFF, PRINCIPAL, DISTINGUISHED, FELLOW — and beyond. The final rank is SINGULARITY at level 85. Restore all 16 nodes and the world is reinfected at a higher severity. It does not end. ■ Compete monthly Register a handle and you appear on the global leaderboard — by experience earned, by best COMBO, and by incidents contained. It resets every month, so a late start is never a lost cause. Registration is optional. ■ Escalations Eight times a day, one site escalates. Containment takes three passes and the site relocates after each one. Each escalation has its own rule for what counts as progress, and the briefing tells you before you commit. ■ Languages The interface is English — it has to read as a terminal. The manual and the daily orders are also available in Japanese. It follows your device language, and you can switch it from the profile screen. ■ Made for - Short sessions with real pressure - Not wanting to look like you are playing a game in public - People who like black terminals ■ Ads and purchases Free to play all the way through. Ads are mostly opt-in — watch one to skip travel time or recover fatigue, only when you choose to. A one-time PRO license removes ads permanently.
