Kakuro Quest puzzle game released

Lost Sock Games today released Kakuro Quest, its second game for the Mac platform. Kakuro Quest puzzles resemble crosswords or Cross Sums that use numbers, rather than words. Players must fill all the blank squares in the grid with only the digits 1-9, ensuring the numbers add up to the corresponding clues.

The Grid grows from 7 X 7 to 10 X 12, challenging players to fill the grid to complete the puzzle. The game features unlimited puzzles, a "Quest Mode" via map play with increasing difficulty, and the ability to print out puzzles to solve them on paper. Kakuro Quest is available for $20 via Macgamestore.com, and requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later.
