Connect black and white, each in one unbroken group. Goishi is a logic puzzle where you shade every cell of the board black or white. No guessing needed: every board solves by pure deduction, and when you get stuck, a hint tells you why the next stone is forced. THREE SIMPLE RULES • Shade every cell black or white • All black cells connect; all white cells connect • No 2×2 square may be a single color Every puzzle has exactly one solution, reached by reasoning, not luck. FEATURES • Hints with reasons: see the next forced cell and why (the 2×2 rule, connectivity, or look-ahead). A wrong stone is pointed out and removed • Logic-only puzzles: every board is checked to be solvable without guessing • Four levels: Easy (6×6), Medium (8×8), Hard (10×10), Expert (12×12) • Daily Puzzle: one puzzle per date, with a day streak • Ranks: climb from 10 Kyu to 9 Dan. Harder boards raise your rank faster • Resume: unfinished boards are saved automatically • Stats: puzzles solved, day streak, no-hint rate, total time, best and average times by level • Board themes: Washi, Kaya and Sumi • Drag to shade several cells, with optional highlighting of 2×2 rule breaks • Works on iPhone and iPad GREAT FOR • Fans of Nurikabe, Sudoku and other pencil puzzles • Anyone looking for a brain teaser without numbers • Players who prefer a calm, focused game to flashy effects • A daily habit before bed or on the commute PLAY WITH PEACE OF MIND • Free to start.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Goishi at none against Tap Stack's shown. Tap Stack's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
