Puzzle Mate DS - Nanpure Mate — About this game
Nanpure Mate starts with familiar number placement: each row, column and marked block needs the required digits without repetition. Choose a simple grid to learn input, then explore overlapping, coloured-region or odd-and-even puzzles. A coloured region adds its own one-to-nine constraint, while an even-marked cell restricts its possible number. Up to four temporary candidates help keep possibilities separate from final answers. Completed puzzles also contribute pieces of reward illustrations. Read the variant rule before treating a special board like an ordinary Sudoku.
