Introducing Star Battle Puzzles: Pure Logic, No Gimmicks
I’ve always been a fan of "Star Battle" (often known as "Two Not Touch" in the New York Times). It’s a beautifully simple logic puzzle, but I’ve often felt that the digital versions available were a bit... cluttered. Many are filled with ads, intrusive "level-up" mechanics, or locked content.
Today, we are launching Star Battle Puzzles for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, built with our signature "magazine-quality" philosophy, and Google Play (a few days later).
What makes this version different?
Most puzzle apps today are designed to keep you watching ads. We designed this one to help you solve puzzles.
- Five Grid Sizes: We scale from beginner-friendly 8x8 (1-star) boards up to expert-level 14x14 (3-star) grids. As far as I can tell, we’re the only app offering 3-star grids at this 14x14 scale.
- Smart Hints: If you get stuck, our hint system doesn't just give you the answer. It explains the logic behind the next move, helping you become a better solver as you play.
- Zen Mode: If you want a distraction-free experience, Zen Mode removes the UI badges and timers, leaving just you and the logic.
- Premium Experience: No ads, no tracking, and no nags. Just pure deduction.
Try it now
The app is a free download and comes with 50 free plays across all sizes so you can get a feel for the logic. If you enjoy it, a single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited play forever.
