How to play Star Battle
Make Star Battle your next activity in the game library. Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls. Choose a comfortable screen position before beginning. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- Tap to place a star, mark a cell or clear it.
- Respect fixed starter stars.
- Check rows, columns and coloured regions.
- Check puzzle verifies the final arrangement.
Controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
