Simple but great puzzle game. But free levels provided are very less, where there are many other apps which provide upto 1000 free levels.

Fantastic game. Very addictive.

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)?

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.

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

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.

About this app

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)
