Star Battle can be classified as an object placement puzzle, like Battleship or Trees and Tents, and as binary determination puzzle, like Hitori or Nurikabe. Users often refer to it as an interesting cross between Sudoku and Minesweeper. It is also known as "Two Not Touch", under which name it is published in The New York Times, and "Queens", under which a 1-star version of the puzzle is available on LinkedIn. The puzzle is created by Hans Eendebak for the 2003 World Puzzle Championship.

Ratings and reviews

I first saw one of these puzzles in a newspaper in Frankfurt and fell in love. This app is the only good app for them I've been able to find. I've been using it for several months and done over 600 of these puzzles. While the ads can get annoying when you're clearly puzzles quickly, they aren't intrusive and aren't too long. Plus you can just play offline. Also the UI is a big bonus. Too many modern games and puzzle apps have overcrowded and stimulating UI. This app doesn't overcrowd things.

Brilliant game that, as a logic puzzle fan, I've been obsessed with for years. Reasonable ads (+ reasonable cost to remove if you want). Love the expansion packs. One star removed for two reasons: 1. Cannot move progress between phones, so lost my years of progress when I got a new phone :-( 2. The fiendish level is often illogical (ironically); even the hints are based on making assumptions or expecting you to know things you can't possibly yet know, logically, from what's on the board.

Fun game! Similar logic/strategy to sudoku, without the numbers. You won't run out of puzzles for years, even if you play every day. Difficulty levels are pretty accurate; easy, medium, difficult, fiendish. You are able to check if current progress is correct, or get hints on next step to solve. I think I had to pay to remove ads? (I honestly can't remember, it would be worth it though for a few bucks)
