One of the Best Set of Puzzles Ever
If you are looking for a simple and extremely (at least for me) difficult puzzle, Star Battle Go is for you! They are difficult from the very first one. The rules as simple. The solution is complicated. I have spent hours and days working through the first two levels. They present an interesting challenge and are solvable without having to resort to trial and error. They all have a key discovery to be made. Once made, the solution spreads out before you. Enjoy!

excellent, but order that puzzles are given, pr given again, is a problem
Very addictive and in general very well implemented.
Yes, there’s no hint button, but you can of course guess and try again.
My complaint is about the order/sequencing of puzzles. I’ve solved (or ok, in a couple of instances guessed) all the easy set and about 20% of the hard level, but although I can solve or make progress with some, I get stuck on some, and would prefer to bypass the hardest ones and come back to them later, hopefully after having learned new techniques that make them solveable. Instead, I keep getting rerouted to the same 15 or 20 that I’ve gotten stuck on before, and have to ask for a new puzzle dozens of time before arriving at a fresh one. A completely randomized order would be so much better.

Need an intermediate level
I love the app. My only complaint is that there is too big a gap between “easy” and “hard”. I can solve all of the easy ones very quickly, including the add-on batch that I purchased, but I still can’t solve the hard ones at all, except occasionally via a lucky guess. I can’t even imagine what “expert” must be like. I would like to see an “intermediate” class that is hard enough to be interesting without being completely impossible for someone relatively new to the game. Alternatively (or in addition), the built-in tutorial could includes some tips on advanced techniques relevant to the “hard” and “expert” puzzles.

Great game, indexing would make it better
I love these logic puzzles! Challenging, yet entertaining. My only comment for improvement would be setting up some kind of indexing to see which puzzles are solved and which are not. I bought the combo bundle which should contain 1000 hard puzzles. But every time I give up on some of the puzzles and try to load a new one, I feel like I get repeat of the same puzzle. I’m sure that is not the case. But indexing and numbering each puzzle could easily solve this

Fun but
This is the sort of logic puzzle I love, simple and satisfying. The new swipe-to-block gesture makes it even easier to play. My only disappointment is the number of times I’m seeing the same puzzle come up as I work through the packs. You have the option of restarting the puzzle or starting a new one, but New frequently isn’t.

Really enjoy this logic puzzle!
This is a solid game! My only qualm is that the easy puzzles quickly became VERY easy but the hard are SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult than Easy. As another reviewer pondered- are they all solvable with logic alone it is guessing necessary? I find myself completely stumped on the hard levels so often!
totally obsessed!
can’t stop playing even if i wanted to. I started doing the 14x14 3 star battles on the krazydad website because i finished all 150 on the app... the app should add those!!
Turned into a giant ad for in-app purchases
I used to like this app but the latest version pushes in-app purchases way too aggressively. I can no longer start a new game without being asked to purchases new levels. I assume it’s because I already solved all the original ones but at least give me a way to reset or something instead.
Ironically, I’d likely buy the new levels if it wasn’t so hostile about buying them. It’s really put a bad taste in my mouth.

Is Logic Alone Enough?
I consider myself a skilled solver of these puzzles, but I’ve encountered several levels where I’ve run out of logical pathways to the solution and must randomly make one or more coin-toss guesses to see if they pan out. I really do wonder if the ability to solve these puzzles through logic alone has been verified.

Response from developer
Hi DScher! Sorry for the tardy response. It’s true that it’s not verified that all puzzles can be solved by logic alone, but “logically solvable” also isn’t an absolute thing. 100% of the puzzles can be solved through branching logic (bifurcation is the nerdy term) and although thinking it through 1-3 steps usually feels natural and logical (“can’t go there, so has to be THERE!”), tracking many more can just feel tedious. There are so many advanced logical strategies that can likely be applied to every puzzle, but if someone is not aware of a specific and arcane strategy it can appear unsolvable. Feel free to reach out to hello@summitstudio.com or KrazyDad if you get stuck on something and want a tip!
Perfect puzzle with excellent interface
Perfect levels of challenge. Interface is very well done. Very high quality game. Thank you.
