About

NoStar Puzzle

Features
Read full description

NoStar is a casual puzzle game, easy to learn and hard to put down. A unique blend of logic, wit and strategy that will test your ability to plan every move. Slide tiles with your finger: each tile moves in a straight line until it hits another tile or the edge of the board. When two tiles of the same color touch, both disappear. Place and destroy tiles to build your own labyrinth and reach the stars. Your goal is to clear them all by making them collide with each other. Every level is a new puzzle. As you progress, the boards grow bigger and more demanding: you'll need to anticipate collisions, open up blocked paths and use each tile's bounce to reach the most hidden stars. A perfect game for a quick match or for long sessions of pure focus. The original game, created by Diego Manuel Béjar in 1992 for PC, returns completely rebuilt and adapted for mobile, with modern graphics, intuitive touch controls and new levels designed for all audiences. Features: - Unique mechanic: tiles only stop when they collide - Five difficulty levels - Supports tablet and phone - Modern design and touch controls
