Looking for a game that soothes the soul but keeps your brain spinning? Welcome to HootDoKu — a pure logic puzzle game that flawlessly blends the rigorous reasoning of Sudoku with the thrilling deduction of Minesweeper. Night has fallen, and you have only one mission: use your sharp owl-like eyesight to find the perfect "exclusive territory" for every proud, wise owl on the board! Simple Rules, Deep Strategy The concept is elegant and intuitive, yet anything but simple. Put your logic to the test and follow the three rules of the forest: Exclusive Territory: The board is divided into colored sections. You must place exactly one owl in each section. The Owl Distance: Owls need their personal space! They absolutely cannot share the same row, column, or touch each other—not even diagonally. Risk & Reward: Double-tap a tile to place an owl. You only have 3 chances to make a mistake (hearts). Guessing won't save you; every single move must be carefully calculated! Guess right, and you're rewarded with pure puzzle-solving satisfaction; guess wrong, and you lose a heart. Key Features Play Offline Anytime: No internet required, no data used. Perfectly fills up the puzzle-shaped hole in your daily commute, time spent waiting in line, or your morning coffee break.
