About the puzzle:
Star Battle is a challenging logic grid puzzle, also known as Two Not Touch, Queens, or Starstruck. It is very similar to the LinkedIn daily Queens puzzle and the Netflix daily Starstruck puzzle, wich require placing one crown/star per region instead of two stars.
The puzzle can be seen as an object-placement game, like Battleships or Trees and Tents, and as a binary-determination puzzle, like Hitori or Nurikabe. Users often describe it as an interesting cross between Sudoku and Minesweeper.

The goal:
Place two stars in every row, every column, and every region, but make sure that the stars do not touch, even diagonally!

Every puzzle has exactly one solution, which can be found through logic reasoning. No guessing required.

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

Ratings and reviews

Played a different version of this game by someone else, and that version decided to play audio ads in the middle of the level. So I immediately uninstalled and found this. So much better. Only plays an ad after a level and that's it. I can handle that. I do wish it automatically placed dots surrounding the stars like in the other version. (Edit: You can) And having a daily challenge was also nice. But there's plenty of levels here so it's not a big deal. This became the better game!

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.

OK, I rarely review games but I love this one! Game play is simple with good smooth graphics. I'm still one the "easy" level but they are challenging enough to prepare for harder ones. I like that I can pause the game and come back to where I left off. The ads are a bit much at first but they're short. I haven't spent any $ on this game at all. I'm officially addicted.
