If you ask me, when it comes to sudoku, the formula is already there, and many people don't want it changed, so the only thing that you can actually change is the graphics, which to be frank lacks professionalism.

First thing, never ever use gradients of cool blue and bright green together, they just look wrong. Secondly, even if you like blue and green, don't use the same color for the background and MCs as well! Lastly, because of the fact that everything is either a cool unsaturated blue of bright green, the black text is not easily readable.

My suggestion, change the color scheme, seriously. Also, consider making your rollOver animations faster to add some spice to the buttons, they are moving too sloooooow for my taste;)

Apart from that, nothing new that innovates, and a color scheme that doesn't work, maybe a 6/10 (for having no bugs and being true to sudoku;))

I don't like the colour choice personally. Its just too dark - sudoku is boring enough as it is, it needs some sort of vibrant addition.

However, I do like the way that a 3x3 grid pops up to let you select a number - I think it makes the game easier to play - which is important.

It isn't too dark, it's just that the colors don't match, bright green isn't "dark" ;)

On the other hand, you seriously need more colorful raphics of sorts, not just a plain sudoku board, if you intend on attracting people other than a hardcore sudoku player audience.
