Description
Partition between clues with walls to create islands with corresponding size! Each puzzle consists of a grid containing clues in various places. The object is to create islands by partitioning between clues with walls so that the number of squares in each island is equal to the value of the clue, all walls form a continuous path and there are no wall areas of 2x2 or larger. Each island must contain one clue and be isolated from other islands horizontally and vertically.
Nurikabe are addictive island-forming puzzles which were invented in Japan. Using pure logic and requiring no math to solve, these fascinating puzzles offer endless fun and intellectual entertainment to puzzle fans of all skills and ages.
The game features a highlighting option to help see if a wall segment is about to become isolated, and an island size counter to view how many squares belong to an island.
To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format.
For more fun, Conceptis Nurikabe includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.

Ratings and Reviews
Fun
Very fun.
In general I like the conceptis model: no ads, a bunch of starter puzzles for free, more puzzles for sale in paces for small amounts of money. (Kinda like buying a small book of puzzles.) You’re not going to spend way more than you intended to by mistake. And if you don’t actually like the puzzles, or don’t mind switching between several different puzzle apps, you don’t have to buy any at all.
Anyways, this is one of my favorites. The puzzles are very engaging and there’s a wide range of difficulty levels.
Wonderful puzzle
Just like this company’s other offerings, this puzzle game is spectacularly-implemented and rich with content! I especially appreciate the weekly puzzles. My only complaint (which is very minor) is that all of the company’s offerings seem to synchronize the weekly puzzle difficulty level, so on a week that is designated “very easy,” all of them are very easy, and so I have no challenge.
Check
One thing I love about Conceptis puzzles is the "check" button. I do these puzzles to relax at the end of the day, and being able to click the "check" button and have it say that there are no errors is very reassuring, especially after difficult days.
