Though it took nearly all day to download at 2-4k per second, using GetRight, I was finally able to download the whole program in spite of being knocked offline many times. We enjoyed testing it out and look forward to playing this game many times - it was well worth the time it took to download.
THANKS!!

the one thing i would suggest is please have an option to have a shortcut to the desktop :)

Another winner. The easy level is pretty tough for me... maybe I need a little more practice.

I know this is off topic but if you can't find http://giveawayoftheday.com try entering this, http://www.game.giveawayoftheday.com . Not sure what has happened but it looks like a copy paste operation gone bad eh?

HAVING PROBLEMS ACCESSING WWW.GiveAwayOfTheDay.COM? Remove the "WWW." from the address! Works for me.

The name resolver is somehow screwed up.

Hey the giveaway of the day today for software is somethign I really want but the page wont load :( how can I get it? anyone?

I have been after a Kakuro game for ages, and this one is fantastic! I agree with #20 Cheryl, it is trickier than Sudoku, it's really helping me brush up my addition skills. Thanks heaps Merscom LLC and GGOTD.

There have been a few games offered by Merscom that I wanted, but with dial-up connections, files of this size just don't work for me. The best connection I can get is a 28.8 Kbps. I've tried to download and had problems with it just stopping. Trying to resume does not work. It starts over from the beginning. VERY frustrating. I wanted yesterday's game and today's game, but with the problems I've had, I won't be able to get them. Disappointing!!

I love SUDOKU and this looks interesting as well. I wasn't interested in this before because I don't like to add, but with the possible combinations, it is reduced to a logic game which I enjoy.

To Margie comment #21.... Rather than moving the whole of the games folder to the desk top, if you click on the folder and then right click on the executable file within the Buku Kakuro folder and scroll down to create a shortcut; you can then move this to the desk top, or to a games folder on the desk top.


With respect to this game; IMO it's a more entertaining game that Buku Sudoku, although the latter is as challenging. I would agree with Cheryl though that Sudoku becomes a little boring after a while

You will find 3 ogg files in the Karuko folder within a folder named OGG. If you have one of the audio converters that have been given away over the past 8 months you could choose music more to your liking, convert it to ogg, then rename them to 0.ogg, 1.ogg and 2.ogg before transferring them to the OGG folder. If you wish to keep the originals, then put them in a back up folder.

Overall I give this a 7 out of 10 for playability

Probably impossible to download in the remaining time on dialup, I'm left out. No analysis/rating of the game available from me.

it seems like GOTD is making a comeback of good games after about 3weeks

This is great - I love cross sums puzzles. Very pleasant appearance, easy to understand. Thanks!

Adds up to a lot of enjoyment!

To everyone having trouble finding this game on yout computer:

I couldn't find it either until I did the next few steps.Please bear with me, I am not computer savvy but this is what I did.

I went to the Start menu and pressed search
under the "all Files and folders" and in thef first box that reads
"all or part of the file name" I typed in "buku Kakuro" and the folder came up under my C hard drive

I went to "my Computer" and looked under my Hard Disk Drives under
"Local Disc (C:) I clicked on that and then clicked the "games folder"
and Buku Kakuro appeard and I just dragged that to my desktop.

From my desktop, I open the folder and click on the "BK" icon and the game starts right up

I'm sure there is an easier way to do this but Like I said, I don't know much about computers but this is how I got it done.
I hope this helps somebody.

I got so tired of Sudoku!!! This is a game to which I can relate. Since I noted the Sudoku craze, I have been telling everyone that its just too danged boring, but this game will rate among my favorites for a very long time. Thank you so much, GGOTD for thinking of those of us who like to use our minds, not just our joysticks or mouse clicks. Action games, even the usual puzzle games are wonderful (especially when free!) and action games can be entertaining, but a game like this will keep our minds sharp, as well as our reflexes.

I love GGTOD.

Downloaded this morning and played for a while. Download and play went smoothly, except for the funky install procedure. You really should not have to go search for a game on your computer once you install it.

Kakuro is more challenging than Sudoku, in my opinion. This game is really pretty and I like all the options available: skill levels, puzzle size, themes, sound and music controls, hints on/off. It's just a well-thought out and executed game - typical of what we have seen from Merscom. Now, if I could just get the hang of playing.

Wow looks nice but not my kind of game. Please give us more from this developer, they seem to have great stuff. And thanks to them for the wonderful screenshots. Keep up the awesome work!

Can somebody tell me why I can not access the regular Giveaway Of The Day Website? It doesn't seem to be working at this time. Is it my Internet Connection??

I just downloaded and installed this game. I unzipped the file, then double clicked on the 'setup' file, which opened the Winzip program, and it asked me where I wanted to unzip those files to. The default on my computer was C:/games; after I unzipped those files, I went to that folder and opened the Buku Kakuro folder and there was the Kakuro.exe file- double clicking on it started the game. What exactly is happening when you start the process? I know you said earlier that it only shows the activation screen- are you talking about when a new page on GAOTD site opens and says the game is activated, what's next?

Looks like fun. Thanks GGOTD!

Gotta say I will never know if it is a good game or not. I have been downloading all night and here it is 3 in the afternoon and I downloaded 99.45% of the program and then I get the error message that the network says I don't have permission to download it. Well I guess that is the way it goes cause I just don't have the time to get it again. Thanks anyway.

Very nice game. First time I have tried this numbers game. I am quite happy with it. The background sounds/music is not annoying. I haven't figured out why the download it is so large, other than possibly the background images.

I am having a real hard time down loading the games from this company I have waited for weeks for some games I would like to have and I have missed 3 of the games that have been on this week,, I don't get the setup and install it just goes to activation?? I have never had any trouble getting down loads from this sight so if any one might know what I am doing wrong Please tell me!! I will check back later after I try this game and see if the same thing happens

I agree that Merscomm has the best games to offer, especially over doublegames...thanks GGOTD for this awesome game.

I agree with those who give this a 10. I've enjoyed Cross Sums for years and this version has all the bells and whistles I need to finish the puzzles....especially scratch marks (which allow you to keep track of possible solutions). If you like numbers, you're sure to like this game.

Great games!!!!
This page opened to me, but the www.giveawayoftheday.com link is not working!!!! Please correct that! Thanks!

!En Espanol! :D SPANISH language version is included in the game. Just look in the upper left hand corner of the main menu. Thought I'd mention it here before I went any further, for those who might appreciate it. That's the first time I've ever seen that. Kudos to Merscomm LLC for recognizing the need.

Hoping to see Glyph soon. that game looks really nice.

Another good game !! I agree with #4 Arian, all games offered from this company have been great.They give the gray matter a real work out.The graphics are great, the game play smooth. I am still playing DNA. Way to go GOTD. Poor Ricki .She counted herself out of some real gems. Hello everybody. Have a great day.

Fantastic Game!!!!! Thank you GGOTD! This has been one of the greatest games you have given out. This really rates a 10! This company gives out good games. I hope they give out many more..

Again an excellent game. There were several times gifts of Sudoku, but now for the first time Kakuro. It's at least even so challenging as Sudoku. The program works good, and again you can play it window-sized in stead of full screen. In fact the program itself works the same as the Sudoku-program of the same compagny. So in a scale from 0-10 I give the program 10 points.

This company makes cool games. The games on GGOTD from this company have all been good. 2 thumbs up :-)

Great!!! After that fantastic Sudoku game, now a Kakuro from the same company. Must be good also. Thanks!!!!!

Crikeys!...thats a large download...But may be worth the wait
Thanks GGOTD!... :mrgreen:
Roll the complaints......
