Why SumSweeper is shaped this way

SumSweeper is a browser-first logic puzzle built for players who want readable signals, compact boards, and deduction pressure that comes from overlap rather than noise.

Who it is for

It is meant for players who enjoy extracting certainty from small clues. The game is deliberately calm to read, but it should still reward careful sequencing and repeat play.

Why the boards only use 1, 2, and 4

The fixed value set keeps the arithmetic lightweight. That lets the real difficulty live in comparison: which combinations survive when several clues touch the same hidden cells?

Why there is both a campaign and a daily mode

The campaign teaches the system and gives recovery tools. The daily challenge removes hints and caps mistakes so the same logic turns into a cleaner pressure test.

What the project tries to preserve

The goal is not maximal board size or random complexity. The goal is a puzzle that stays legible, feels fair, and keeps producing satisfying overlap chains even late in a solve.
