Play Global Star : Sudoku Fever Online

Global Star: Sudoku Fever on the GBA is exactly what it sounds like—no frills, just solid Sudoku. The grid looks clean, the controls are simple (d-pad to move, A to pencil in numbers), and within seconds you're already filling in squares. It’s got that satisfying "click" when you lock in a correct number, which weirdly makes it feel more tactile than other handheld puzzle games.

What surprised me was how well it handles different skill levels. The easy puzzles are genuinely forgiving if you’re still learning, but the hard ones? They’ll make you stare at the screen like it owes you money. No fancy backgrounds or music—just you, a grid, and the quiet hum of your brain working overtime. If you’ve ever lost a train of thought because your pencil eraser smudged everything, this fixes that problem forever.

It’s the kind of game you flip open during a boring commute and suddenly realize you’ve missed your stop. Classic Sudoku, done right.
