Great

challenging, fun, and uninterrupted by ads. thank you for this game :)

By far the best mobile version

PuzzleBaron and Egghead Games have always made ad-free games that simply work, and this is no exception. These are my favorites, and I’m happy to be deleting so many other annoying games in favor of this one and other Egghead titles!!

Works well but is just greedy

The game works great but it only lets you play 150 levels before making you pay for more

Response from developer

Obviously free is nice, but then ads are required, or worst schemes to find revenue to support ongoing updates. These days, that requires intrusive videos, level blocks and similar. As a company, we’ve decided not to do any of that and instead focus on gameplay that benefits customers and not advertisers. Unfortunately that means we need payment in some other way. We’ve tried to price it fairly, and also provide both subscription and outright purchase plays options as some people prefer one over the other (though traditionally subscriptions will earn more for the developer). Thanks for giving the game a try. I’m glad you enjoyed it. If you prefer ad-based schemes, fortunately we have a couple of great competitors who cater to that. Happy puzzling!

Puzzle Baron - finally mobile optimized

As a longtime desktop browser fan of Puzzle Baron, I love having an app that is sized for mobile. The auto-complete around a star is also a nice feature.

I do wish that the bell curve for completion time could be ported to the app instead of the “expert +1” feature (but it’s better than nothing). A “clear” button to start over would also be nice.

Thanks for making this!

Good news! Clear is already there. Tap the puzzles stars/size at the top left of the board and a Clear button will appear at the top right of the board (i.e. like selecting a new difficulty but instead starting over). We didn't want to leave Clear there all the time to avoid accidental taps. Thanks so much for the kind words, and we'll definitely think about the bell curve idea. Happy puzzling!

Best star battle app available

A timer or rating would make it perfect!

Response from developer

Thank you! Good news, there is already a timer + rating! If you solve the puzzle faster than most people, without using hints, you'll get an "Expert" badge. There's also a "Zen" mode where nothing shows at all for those that prefer not to be rated (though it still keeps track in case you want to peek occasionally). If you ever have suggestions or questions, just email support@eggheadgames.com and we'll get back to within a day or so. Heppy Puzzling! Cheers, Michael @ Egghead Games

My new favorite game

Downloaded this app a few days ago and have already played over 200 games. It’s so nice to find a game with no ads. There’s a good range of difficulty levels and the options for hints are useful. The small price for additional puzzles is a great value, and I much prefer that over ads. Even when I had a technical issue, it was fixed within 24 hours.

Love

No ads! Easy to use. So many difficulty levels.
One small glitch with auto-elimination of squares neighboring a star: when you test a spot and remove it, the dots from previous stars also remove

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the kind words! We're thrilled you're enjoying the logic and the ad-free experience. Edit: the auto-elimination glitch was fixed in version 1.0.2 which is now available. Thanks again! Was: Also, thank you for that specific bug report regarding the auto-elimination dots. That's a great catch— we've reproduced the issue and will have a fix out shortly. Feel free to email support@eggheadgames.com anytime if you have more feedback. Happy puzzling!
