How to play Star Battle
Use a short break to learn the rhythm of Star Battle. 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. Use the example below to understand a decision.
Solve ten 6×6 puzzles with one star in every row, column and region. These boards use the one-star rule.
Keep the aim in sight
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Notice the feedback after each input.
Your goal
Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.
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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
