Editor's Overview

Gauguin is a puzzle game application developed by Meik Piepmeyer, packaged as a single Android APK of version 0.5 weighing in at 12.1 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above.

Install Checklist

Only download through the button on this page — never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
File size is a light 12.1 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
This build is signed by "Meik Piepmeyer" — always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" — approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

Gauguin is a Sudoku-like game where you solve grids via calculation and logic.

You can use it to relax or to solve difficult grids to your opinion.

In classic mode, you solve a 9x9 grid by typing a value from 1 to 9 in each cell such as
- Each row and column contains each digit exactly once.
- Each cage meets its given mathematical problem. E.g. a group of cells labeled with '5+' must be filled such that the sum of all digits is 5.

Via game options, you may alter the game to solve other digits, smaller or greater grids, hiding the operators.

Slick and modern UI

- No switching of 'pencil mode' or such thing is needed: To set a value of a cell, just use short-tap to alter a possible value and long-tap for a known value.
- 'Fast Finishing Mode' enables to fill cell with exactly one pencil mark rapidly. To be activated in the preferences.
- Uses colors from the painting 'The Siesta' from Paul Gauguin (guess where the app's name comes from…)

Game options

- grid sizes: 3x3 to 11x11 with classic 9x9
- includes rectangular grids, e.g. 7x9
- operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
- digits (1 to n, prime numbers, Fibonacci sequence etc.)
- difficulty (covering a increasing number of game variants)
- usage of single cells
- show or hide operators

Things still to be done

- not all grid variants get calculated in a reasonable time
- on-boarding is missing a tutorial
- not all game variants have been supplied with difficulty ratings yet
- calculation of next grid is not bullet proof in some rare circumstances
