About this game

Star Battle (also known as "Two Not Touch") is a challenging logic puzzle. Place two stars in every row, in every column, and in every region, but make sure that the stars do not touch! Each puzzle has only one solution, which can be reached with logic reasoning, no guessing needed!

Solve these logic puzzles to challenge yourself, to relax, to train your brain, or to kill some time. This puzzle provides hours of challenging entertainment! With puzzles ranging from easy to fiendish, it offers something for both beginners and experts.

Star Battle can be classified as an object placement puzzle, like Battleship or Trees and Tents, and a binary determination puzzle, like Hitori or Nurikabe. Users often refer to it as a nice cross between Sudoku and Minesweeper.

These logic puzzles can be pretty tricky and it might take some time to learn how to solve them. The app includes a "How to Play" to explain the solving strategies and you can always ask for a hint if you are stuck. You can also check at any time if your solution is correct so far.

Are you up for the challenge? Can you solve them all?

Good spatial relations game. This is better than the other free versions of "Star Garden" types of games because you can check to see if you have made a mistake w/out the game telling exactly what the mistake was, if you cant figure it out it can show you your mistake. If you get stuck you can get unlimited clues for free w/out having to sit thru ads.

Fun enough, but needs harder puzzles. I have sudoku and other puzzle experience, but I jumped in on the highest level and went through a number of them with no trouble, no guessing, and no hints. Would be nice to have some tags/colors for things, like mutual or exclusive box sets, but again none of the puzzles are hard enough to need it.

Delightful visual design with plenty of color schemes to choose from, and it's so engrossing I spend way more time doing "just one more," but each one is low stakes enough that I exit without emotional friction if I need to attend to something. The hint system is very well done and helps you learn new principles. It's a bargain at $2 (for no ads). My only issue with it is that the tap interface is a bit messy, easy to accidentally put a dot or star where you didn't mean to, and have to backtrack
