About this app
Hoshi (星, Japanese for star) is a free and competitive Star Battle game with daily challenges. Star Battle, also known as Two Not Touch, is regularly published in the New York Times logic puzzle section. If you enjoy playing tricky puzzles and brain-teasing games and seek a new challenge, then you should give Hoshi a try.
If you have never played the Star Battle logic game before, don’t worry the rules are straight forward:
Similar to other logic puzzles you have a grid that you need to fill. In a normal 2 star Two Not Touch game each row, column, and region must have exactly 2 stars. Stars are not allowed to touch, even not diagonally.
Hoshi includes Star Battles with 1-5 stars, but games with more stars are yet to come 😉
Hoshi offers you:
- Everyday we release a new number game (daily puzzle challenge)
- Track your solving time and compete against other players (leaderboards)
- There is also a weekly challenge for geniuses (3 star plus games)
- There are 5 different difficulties (easy to diabolical)
- Packs with hand-selected logic puzzle (e.g. for beginners)
- Guide with solving strategies
- Profile with stats about your skill level & progress
Coming soon:
- Add your friends and play with them a numbers puzzle
- Star Battle games with more than 5 stars
User Reviews
The game is fun and honestly a good challenge. I only gave 3 stars because a lot of it is paid content and pro membership stuff so mostly only the daily and weekly puzzle are free. Edit: I realize that it is not easy to make and run an app, and I understand that you need to get back what you put in. I am not against supporting developers, just unable to. I only wish you could buy packs as a difficulty level set instead of each one individually
Game is tailored around putting as much money in the dev's pocket. Need 1 hint? Get ready to sit and watch a 30 second ad if you don't already pay a subscription (which who in their right mind would do for a game like this?). And hints aren't always correct, which prompted this review. Was told to insert a star in the highlighted region (a single cell). I did so, then next hint said the star was incorrect. Cool, I guess. I only did what the app said to do. Off to find another similar puzzle app.
At first i thought it was a really nice puzzle game. The game is neither too complicated nor easy and the app is easy to navigate. However, then I saw that ALL the other levels except two levels of each pack were paywalled. Every one of them have seperate fees. If i only had to pay once, i'd be fine with that. But in this case, i'd rather not play. Edit: oh. So sorry, i didn't see that :'))) in this case i have no complaints, it's a good game 👍
Loved it before the most recent update. I should have at least be able to play the daily puzzle without watching ads to "refil" the counter or whatever. I understand the struggle of making a game and trying to make money off of it but the individual packs do add up to be quite pricey and unavailable to some people. I love this game, it's concept, and the art style but I wish it was just a little less focused on making a profit.
