Find your footing in 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. Use the example below to understand a decision. Read the objective before making your first input. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Bring this focus to a round

Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Notice the feedback after each input.

The objective of a round

Place one star in each row, column and region, with no touching stars even diagonally. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Work through the instructions

  1. Tap to place a star, mark a cell or clear it.
  2. Respect fixed starter stars.
  3. Check rows, columns and coloured regions.
  4. Check puzzle verifies the final arrangement.

Using the playing area

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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Follow the example

A placed star rules out all eight neighbouring squares. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.

Keep this in mind

Different rows do not make diagonal neighbours legal. Check the rule before repeating the action. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
