Sparked my love for nurikabe puzzles! I have completed the base game at least 7 times across 2 phones, the south map 3 or 4 times, and the north once. Every element of this game comes together perfectly, and the wonderful music really makes it shine. I will instantly buy any new maps that come out--I even have the high score! :)

Good puzzles, good ambience This Nurikabe puzzle game has a good interface and a challenging collection of puzzles. But the music and graphics give it a pleasing ambience to set it apart.

Great intro to nurikabe...would be easier if I could change colors to the usual black and white, but great game nonetheless.

Leon Barrett March 22, 2014

A delightful set of puzzles.

Ludocrazy Games March 27, 2014

5 stars always make my day. thanks a lot for supporting my game (by buying it AND likeing it ;)

Nice game but unstable app Fun version of Nurikabe. Unfortunate tendency to crash the whole system causing the device to reboot!

Ludocrazy Games October 13, 2013

your device is a nexus 7? because i had only good results from the nexus so far. is it a stock android? please send me a mail via contact the developer, so we can find the problem! thx

Hits all the marks. Can be frustrating, but it is well worth it.

Ludocrazy Games October 23, 2013

thanks for liking it. what do you mean with "hits all the marks"? shoot me a mail!

Kyle Nickerson September 24, 2013

Good game If you are into sudoku or picross, it's very much that kind of logic puzzle game. I like the aesthetic, with pixel art 3d views available to compliment the base 2d game. It would be cool to be able to view completed levels in 3d and manipulate them as you can the main screen, but that is a minor quibble. If you are looking for a good number based logic puzzle, this is a great $1 bet. Plus, it has an expansion available for just $1 more giving you almost as many levels as in the base game. It's a steal!

Ludocrazy Games September 28, 2013

thanks for your kind review :-)

Julia Ryall October 1, 2013

Amazing puzzle game I find this puzzle game great, it requires more concentration than your average picross or similar, which is fab. to people saying there are multiple solutions: you haven't read the rules properly :-P My only gripe is that with my fat fingers I occasionally hit the back button by mistake and lose all my work! (not really the devs fault!) Will be going to look at their other games once I'm done with this.

Ludocrazy Games October 5, 2013

with the newest version when leaving a level (intention or by accident) will store your progress, so you can continue - even when the phone has been switched off in between! :-)

A Google User September 2, 2013

Relaxing and challenging

Ludocrazy Games August 18, 2013

since winter 2012 you can turn of the chicken / hints :-)

Brian Meyer August 21, 2013

Update details please Great game but what's with all these updates the last several days? Put it in the changelog. Thanks for reply and I appreciate the work and attention to the game. I love the game but I feel a need to know about what I'm updating. Especially when it's nearly every day. Just my OCD. Thanks very much for the game anyways!

Ludocrazy Games August 21, 2013

thanks for asking :) some bugfixing, and some levels with multiple solutions. the text for recent changes is very short, so i use it only for more urgent things. i would be happy to send you the detailed list, just mail me :-)

Jason Gulbin August 18, 2013

Very fun Awesome game with perfect sized puzzles. Highly recommended.

Ludocrazy Games August 19, 2013

thanks a lot :-)

A Google User October 19, 2012

Absolutely Fantastic! A great logic based puzzle game that is reliant upon spacial awareness. There is no guesswork here. If you can remember these three things you'll get the most enjoyment out of it: 1. No farms can touch. 2. All forests must touch. 3. There cannot be any 2x2 plots of forest. I give the above tips because my only complaint is that the tutorial could be much simpler than it is. As it is, it took me longer than it should have to grasp the rules.

Steve Bearman November 30, 2012

For people with small fingers This is a great puzzle game. Unfortunately, I have been unable to finish it. The end levels have very small squares, and I can't keep from hitting the wrong one. There is an awkward zoom mode, but somehow even there, I often mean to be choosing one square, but a different square gets selected - very frustrating!

Ludocrazy Games August 18, 2013

the mis-clicks have been fixed with august 2013 version. thank you for your patience!

Amanda Gentzel January 5, 2013

Some fixes for phone play I love the game, but on later levels, the board is large enough that, when playing on a small phone screen, some mis-clicks are inevitable. (and it's very frustrating to get penalized at the end of a large level for bumping the wrong square) It would be nice if, when playing on hard mode, you weren't penalized for errors as long as you get it right at the end.

Ludocrazy Games August 18, 2013

the mis-clicks have been fixed with august 2013 version. thank you for your patience!

A Google User November 16, 2012

Okay but needs polish The puzzles are interesting brain teasers like minesweeper as the bumph says. A few appear to have multiple solutions but only one will not get past the in game assistant who will chime in with an irritating comment that you are wrong. When you place a tile in an incorrect location the assistant tells you have made a mistake. Unlike minesweeper the game does not provide a good story why a misplaced tile is a bad thing. It is really just forcing you to work it out in your head but needs better story.

Ludocrazy Games April 11, 2013

The levels have been tested to ensure to have only one solution. If you really found a level that has multiple, please send me an email so i can fix it. thanks =)

A Google User April 15, 2013

Impressed! Not one complaint, we'll just one & that I finished it & would love to have new maps for the game. Excellent graphics 3D. No not like a movie, but in it's context. Learning curve, music & sounds appropriate. Didn't have to shut off sounds, that relaxing & nice. Please create more new levels. I will replay all over again.

Daniel Mönch March 7, 2013

Waiting for more The style, the game play and the charm. All three aspects are great. Two small actual issues: 1. The view cannot be moved over the board limits. This is sometimes a bit annoying, when handling fields near the border. 2. currently it lags when panning around and the tipping accuracy is sometimes shifted. This only appeared lately (either since last app update or system update to 4.1.1 don't know)

A Google User November 18, 2012

Pretty math mindbender The graphics are unique, they remind me of nano blocks. The gameplay is part minesweeper, part sudoku and very forgiving. A nice change to slow down, think and enjoy the sounds and colors.

A Google User November 25, 2012

Undo button An undo button would be very helpful.

A Google User July 22, 2012

Excellent! I've played this puzzle before by another name, but this version has a polished and fun presentation that I love. It's a very logic oriented game- if you follow ALL the rules you will end up with only one possible solution. The "no 2x2 forests" and "all forests connect" rules are especially important.

A Google User September 24, 2012

Fun game but scoring is weird I like to play on expert mode, where it doesn't tell me if I made any mistakes. But I still get deducted points if I accidentally touch the wrong square. It's very hard to get the taps exactly right on the larger puzzles and then I get scolded for having made 10 mistakes when I really just tapped a few millimeters off.

A Google User October 14, 2012

Fun improvement on minesweeper This is a nice logic puzzle, presented with attractive graphics. It would be improved by having a mode where you submit your answer when ready, rather than having the chicken schools you for tapping in the wrong place. Then it could tell you if you are correct or have made some mistakes. Fixed the mine sweeper problem of a random start: this is a true logic puzzle.

A Google User September 29, 2012

Yay! Disabled the Hint Chicken! An absorbing puzzle game that reminds me of minesweeper or Alberi. Relaxing and untimed. I had enjoyed the demo version but i hated that stupid busybody chicken always butting in and not letting me figure out for myself when I'd made a mistake. When I saw you can disable the chicken now, I'm happy to get the full version.

A Google User August 22, 2012

Excellent game Make sure you pay attention to all of the rules. They are a bit confusing at first. Once you get the hang of them you will find that this is an original game. Nicely done.

A Google User August 17, 2012

Puzzle pleasure It took me a few tries to "get" this one, but once I did, I was hooked hard. Definitely give it a whirl.

A Google User September 2, 2012

My favorite Android puzzle game. This game has killed hours of my life. I certainly hope to see a sequel or additional map packs in the future.

A Google User September 2, 2012

Fantastic I dont have a clue whats going on but its good anyway.....Note to developers...would be good if after each game you could manually scroll around each individual farm

A Google User August 8, 2012

Great game Really nice game. Recommended for anyone who likes puzzle games. Really nice look as well.

A Google User September 24, 2012

Really nice You need only logic, no luck. I hope more levels will come.

A Google User July 19, 2012

Very good Great concept, well executed

A Google User October 14, 2012

Good art and idea. I like the gameplay and the art.

Ludocrazy Games August 18, 2013

thanks, me too :-)

A Google User September 25, 2012

Very nice and polished game

A Google User June 17, 2012

Excellent concept but annoying hint system Love the concept behind this mix of sudoku, minesweeper and picross. My only negative comment is the hint system. Misclicking especially on a smaller screen is annoyingly easy and the subsequent point deduction can really get.to you. Hint system should be optional. But all in all amazing game and definitely worth paying for! Edit: thanks for implementing the option to disable hints! :) 5/5

A Google User July 3, 2012

Fun addicting puzzler I was up until 4am, telling myself, "OK, just one more puzzle, then I'm going to bed. Don't listen to the other reviews. There is only one solution to each puzzle. If you think you found another solution, you aren't meeting all of the criteria for the puzzle. My only complaint is that the last few boards are huge, and it's extremely difficult to tap the correct squares without making mistakes. Overall, a refreshing twist on some classic puzzle games.

A Google User June 8, 2012

Interesting. An interesting lil puzzler, tho I wish it was little less strict on accepted solutions as some that match all known criteria are rejected just because they aren't the answer chosen by the dev.

Ludocrazy Games April 11, 2013

nurikabe puzzles only have one solution. i tested all levels to make sure they work. so if you find multiple solutions chances are you made a mistake. if you are sure a level has mutliple solutions, then please send me an email so i can fix the level! thanks :-)

A Google User July 8, 2012

Glitches horribly after each level Interesting variant on the minesweeper theme, but can only play one level - after that starting a new one flashes repeatedly between the menu and the level. Quit and restart fixes it.
