Star Battle Puzzles

Adds a "Show Hints" setting when choosing puzzle difficulty to optionally hide the Hint button and "Oops!" messages about adjacent stars or too many stars in a region. Hints are less tempting if the button isn't there, plus it is helpful to turn off hints if you've been hitting the button by mistake. Also fixes a couple of rare crashes.

Restore drag to erase (when starting from a filled cell). Improves display of error cells by making them red again. Email [email protected] at any time with any questions (including a screenshot really helps). We love to hear from you!

A quick bug fix to the previous version which was forgetting things! Sorry about that :( Better hints! Hints used to be unavailable in a few rare situations, but several new hint strategies in this version fix that. They're a great way to learn the game and sharpen your skills! A new rotation feature lets you rotate the board to view it from a different orientation. After watching friends turn their device to get another view of their puzzle, we realized we could build that right in! Finally, we added a couple of tips. First, if you tap three dots in a row, it will suggest using the drag feature (it's always been there, just not widely known!). Second, it will let you know if you've found a 1 star solution to a 2 star puzzle (or a 1 or 2 star solution to a 3 star puzzle), since this was causing some support emails about "I found a new solution but it isn't recognized!"
