Description
Hoshi (星, Japanese for star) is a free and competitive Star Battle game with daily challenges. Star Battle, also known as "Two Not Touch", is regularly published in the New York Times logic puzzle section. If you enjoy playing tricky puzzles and brain-teasing games and seek a new challenge, then you should give Hoshi a try.
If you have never played the Star Battle logic game before, don’t worry the rules are straight forward:
Similar to other logic puzzles you have a grid that you need to fill. In a normal 2 star “Two Not Touch” game each row, column, and region must have exactly 2 stars. Stars are not allowed to touch, even not diagonally.
Hoshi includes Star Battles with 1, 2 and 3 stars, but games with more stars are yet to come ;)
Hoshi offers you:
- Everyday we release a new number game (daily puzzle challenge)
- Track your solving time and compete against other players (leaderboards)
- There is also a weekly challenge for geniuses (3 star plus games)
- There are 5 different difficulties (easy to diabolical)
- Packs with hand-selected logic puzzle (e.g. for beginners)
- Guide with solving strategies
- Profile with stats about your skill level & progress
Coming soon:
- Add your friends and play with them a numbers puzzle
- Star Battle games with more than 3 stars

Ratings and Reviews
Love the UI
Great classic Star Battle puzzle app, ads aren’t too intrusive, and I like that there are daily and weekly puzzles with stats for how you compare with other users.
My favourite part is the UI. It’s very easy to use and the highlighting is very helpful for solving. (Only gripe is that some of the colours are very similar in dark mode).
I also appreciate the responsiveness of the developers. I reported a bug on their related Akari app, and got a very prompt response and fix.
Unfortunately, I feel the puzzle packs are a bit expensive. I know of other puzzle apps where you can get 100 puzzles for $4.99 whereas it’s about twice the cost here.
Amazed
What a wonderful game. It’s challenging and also gives detailed instructions. The beginner games are well thought out to help you understand how to finish the puzzle.
One of the best games I have come across in a long while. Great job to the Creators, many thanks!
Great game if you enjoy 2 dot game in NYT
Weekly games are 1 or two dots and vary from very easy to very hard. Weekly games are 3 dot games and vary for hard to f•••ing hard.
