Cherry Battle is a clean, friendly take on Star Battle — the elegant logic puzzle invented by Hans Eendebak The rules are simple, the deductions are deep: place one or two symbols in every row, every column and every colored region. The catch — no two may ever touch, not even diagonally. From those few rules grows a surprisingly rich puzzle you solve with pure logic. Every board is generated fresh on your device with exactly one solution, and the game favors puzzles you can crack by reasoning alone — so you never have to guess. Many UI optimizations to help gameplay. Free to play one game a day, purchase unlimited games for only $1.99 (no other in app purchases). WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT • Endless puzzles — a new, uniquely-solvable board whenever you want one, ready instantly. • Hints that teach — stuck on a square? A hint places the next move logic forces and explains exactly why, so you learn new tactics instead of just getting the answer. • Mark mode — pencil in a whole line of candidate guesses, then press "Do it" to put them onto the board in one satisfying sweep. • Smart helpers — placing a symbol automatically dots its neighbors, drag to sweep dots down a line, and Undo or Redo any move. • Make it yours — a quiet timer you can hide, and a playing piece you choose from fun symbols. • iPhone & iPad — an adaptive board that fills the screen on any device, in portrait or landscape. • Sweet victory — solve it and the board erupts in explosions and a celebratory rumble of haptics. • No ads, no accounts, no tracking — and it works completely offline. • Share challenging boards with friends who also have the game Whether you have two minutes in a line or twenty on the couch, Cherry Battle is a calm, rewarding little brain workout. Cherry Battle is a fun-themed take on Star Battle, the classic logic puzzle invented by Hans Eendebak. All credit for the original puzzle design goes to him.
