Estrellas: Star Battle

About the game

A browser adaptation by Zarocer.

A few simple rules turn a small board into a satisfying logic challenge. Estrellas uses the one-star variant of Star Battle: every row, column and outlined region needs exactly one star. Stars cannot touch each other, including diagonally. Empty marks help you keep track of the places you have ruled out. Follow a journey of 24 original levels, progressing from 5×5 boards to 8×8. A guided tutorial introduces the rules through your first placement. Free play lets you choose a board size, while Daily Orbit provides a shared 8×8 challenge for each UTC date. The original puzzle bank has unique solutions and may appear again in a different orientation. Play at your own pace, pause when you need a break and return to a saved board. Hints can reveal a correct star, undo lets you revise a move, and revealing the full solution ends the current attempt. Assisted and restored games are clearly distinguished from fresh unassisted attempts. Personal bests are stored locally; there is no active global leaderboard in this version. Estrellas works with mouse, keyboard and touch controls. It includes seven languages, optional automatic exclusion marks, reduced motion support and soft sounds with persistent volume and mute preferences. Where browser storage is available, your game and settings stay on the current device. You can start without an account, download or external game service.

Controls

Place exactly one star in each row, column and outlined region. Keep stars apart, even diagonally. Select the star, empty-mark or erase tool and tap a cell. Use arrow keys and Space; S places a star and X marks an empty cell. Complete the stars to win. Hints and undo make the local result assisted.
