Hoshitsunagi is a quiet logic puzzle under a dark night sky. Each number shows how many directly linked neighbors are the same type. Connect every pair you know matches; “Different” is only an optional note. Only your connected lines and stars glow white during play. Blue and gold appear only when the puzzle is complete. Early stages start gently, then seven rule variations unlock little by little. Illustrated help is always available. There are 2,000 puzzles with gradual difficulty and subtle completion effects. Hints are available after watching a rewarded video. Banner and interstitial ads are included. No in-app purchases.
