About Shikaku

Shikaku is the most addictive puzzle game on Android today!


The game is a brain teasing, laid back puzzle that makes for an excellent fill of your spare time. If you're a fan of Sudoku and looking for slightly different puzzle game but equally entertaining then you will love Shikaku!
Each puzzle contains a box with some numbers. The objective of the game is to place rectangles (boxes) all over the screen such that each box contains a single number and has an area equal to that number. Similar to Sudoku, there is much more to this than first meets the eye and once you try the first few puzzles you'll want to do many more.


Free Features:

★ 40 5x5 Puzzles (Easy)
★ 20 7x7 Puzzles (Medium)
★ 8 10x10 Puzzles (Hard)

Premium Features:

★ Up to 500 5x5 Puzzles (Easy)
★ Up to 500 7x7 Puzzles (Medium)
★ Up to 500 10x10 Puzzles (Hard)

Enjoy your time and develop your deductive skills with a puzzle from the same people who brought you Sudoku!

What are users saying about Shikaku

N70%
by N####:

Nice, clean and simple graphics. Easy and intuitive controls. Very cheap to unlock everything add free. The problem: gets old fast, there is too little variation. The combination of small games and square boxes. Odd numbers are almost always straight lines, there are tons of 2s and 3s. I played similar where boxes did not need to be square, this allowed for much more variation. Bigger than 10:10 is indeed no option for phones.

N70%
by N####:

The gameplay in itself isn't faulty or terrible at all. However, the levels don't vary very much in difficulty and I completed the whole game with 3 stars in every level in about an hour. This game needs to be harder and have more levels

N70%
by N####:

It's overall a good game but it would take the cake if it had more levels. I completed the whole thing in about forty five minutes. (´・_・`)

Z70%
by Z####:

The puzzles difficulty comes from beating the clock instead of the logic used to solve it. There's a few issues with the rectangles too. It's very easy to clean off the rectangles that you have already drawn making it frustrating to quickly draw rectangles. You'll probably finish this quickly but be left unsatisfied.

I can't even get the tutorial to work. Are you supposed to be able to draw a line from the number if it's in the middle of the shape you're trying to draw? For instance, on puzzle 1 I can't draw the five. Please help!

N70%
by N####:

...and really playable, but like a few others have said, way too easy. I just downloaded it 45 minutes ago and I've 3 starred every level. Need more levels asap please!!

N70%
by N####:

The free levels are very easy, basically you race against time. But if you approach that way, it can be a half hour fun.

C70%
by C####:

It's an interesting concept, executed well. The game is perfect for the touch screen interface. Unfortunately, even the 10x10 levels, the largest size, are too easy to hold my attention.

Got hooked to this game! It is too easy though.

Finished the free version, every puzzle with 3 stars of course, even though I don't like timed puzzle games.

Clean well thought out puzzle good colour and family friendly. What more could l want well larger puzzles made for tablets ? You really couldn't have done any better with this game devs many many thanks. !! keeper!! Most definitely!

C70%

I've been playing the full version of this for a while now, (thanks to AppGratis) and the more I've played the more I've appreciated the work the devs have put into it. The interface is nice and clean and simple to use and the puzzles are tricky enough to make you think but not so hard that you get frustrated. Well done devs, thank you. One question though, are there any more puzzle packs coming, preferably 10*10 (maybe even 11*11, or off-square variants 10*7 for example)?

K70%
by K####:

I loved it. Good play, fun puzzles. The only down side is I beat all the levels on all 3 difficulties with the full 3 stars in about an hour of game play. But it was fun and quick.

Cool idea, but it got boring very fast.

Liked the challenge of this type of puzzle when I saw it in the newspaper. Pleasantly surprised to find that this provides the same degree of challenge.

Don't use Tablet with 2 Gmail. Desactivate an account don't work neither. Good game bad implementation.

It took me 5 minutes to understand how to play. I started playing at 10:20. It's 10:45 right now. I beat the game in 20 minutes. Three stars on everything. Averaged 15 seconds on hard and 5 seconds on easy. Seriously? This game is too easy.

I had a problem getting some free puzzle packs. The company responded to my email extremely quickly and solved my problem. I had given a low rating which I now gladly raise to where it belongs. It really is a unique little game which is very different and enjoyable.

Any chance of a link to FB or twitter to save progress when upgrading to new mobile?

K70%
by K####:

I originally gave 1star as there seemed to be a problem accessing the free levels. The staff handling my query were patient beyond belief. All problems now sorted out and I cannot thank you enough.

R70%
by R####:

So called free packs (x3) didn't happen, and selecting them fails. Why were we cheated? You gained downloads but nobody got the free packs... I would give 0 stars for that reason if I could. Give it as stated then I'd change my rating as it is a unique game. EDIT: Thank you for the swift reply to my mail. I now have all three packs. Rating now updated. Didn't know about the app either as I was using my browser to see what is new, so thanks for that too.
