Incredible variant of the simple sudoku. One of your puzzles kept me engrossed for about 4 hours and I still wanted more. Keep ip up guys. You're doing great.
One suggestion. Why don't you try to make a program that generates unlimited Killer Samurai sudokus? I'll be the first one to buy it. There are a lot sudoku and kakuro program generators out there in the market. You can give it a try.
Meanwhile, thanks for the fun!

What is Killer Samurai Sudoku?

Killer Samurai Sudoku is an advance form of Sudoku that combines 5 interlocking Killer Sudoku to form 'Killer Samurai Sudoku'. It is a Number Puzzle that requires the player to use logic to place numbers onto the grid.

Rules

To solve the puzzle you must make sure that every column, row and 3x3 box in each larger 9x9 grid contains the numbers 1 through to 9. The colours on the puzzle are the cages which all contain a small number which is the sum total of all the squares in that caged area. (The puzzles is basically a combination of a Samurai Sudoku puzzle and a Killer Sudoku Puzzle.)
Almost all of the puzzles can be solved using logic alone and there is no need to guess. A puzzle can take from 1 hour to almost a day to complete depending on its level and your experience. More on the rules and tips for quick solving can be found here.
The puzzles along with their solutions can be found on this site.
