Last week we reviewed Live Arcade’s first stab at the numbers racket that is sudoku, Buku Sudoku. In an interview with developer Ben Moy (to be posted later this week) he was gracious enough to let us have a peek at some concept art for themes that didn’t make the cut the first time around. Complete gallery of images and relevant quote from the interview below;

We had a lot of fun coming up with different themes, and unfortunately some were cut for being different, and for space concerns. DLC is a great way for these to be finished up and released. Early mockups had a pirate ship motif I really liked. Then there were a few playables, like a beach with animated surf lapping up, and an ocean theme of underwater bubbles as cells, animated fish, and swaying seaweed.
