Woodoku is a minimalist wooden puzzle game that sharpens focus and promotes calm thinking. Place blocks wisely and enjoy a peaceful yet challenging experience.
Woodoku combines classic block puzzle gameplay with a 9x9 board reminiscent of Sudoku. Your task is to place wooden blocks to form complete horizontal, vertical, or square lines to clear them from the board. It sounds easy, but one thoughtless move can quickly fill the board and end the game.
There's no countdown timer, no time pressure, but Woodoku challenges players' foresight and strategic planning abilities. You must plan for the present and anticipate the blocks yet to appear.
Not flashy or brightly colored, the game features a warm, muted wooden aesthetic, giving the feeling of sitting before a handcrafted board smoothed by time. Each wooden block displays natural wood grain, creating a realistic feel that makes players almost feel the weight of the blocks with each touch.
The in-game sounds are also subtly refined. Not loud victory sounds or overwhelming effects, but gentle sounds, enough for players to recognize a correct move without disrupting their concentration. This intentional silence helps slow the mind, regulate breathing, and gradually dissipate stress.
