Review summary

Nurikabe: Islands & Walls is praised for its ad-free, relaxing gameplay with a broad range of logically solvable puzzles suitable for all skill levels. Users value the well-designed interface, including night mode, and reasonable pricing for extra puzzle packs. However, common criticisms include the inability to mark squares for note-taking, the app not recognizing alternate correct solutions, occasional bugs with puzzle completion recognition, challenge in viewing larger puzzles on phones, and frustrations over extensive paywalls restricting access to many puzzles.

Pros

Wide range of skill levels and numerous free puzzles available.
Ad-free experience, providing a relaxing and uninterrupted gameplay.
Well-designed interface with options like night mode and improved layout for easier navigation.
Puzzles are logically solvable without guessing, with helpful tutorials and solving techniques.
Reasonably priced puzzle packs for those who want more levels after the free ones.

Cons

Lack of a feature to mark squares with symbols to aid in puzzle solving, making it harder to explore possibilities.
The game does not recognize multiple correct solutions if they differ from the programmed answer, leading to frustration.
Some users experience bugs where the app doesn't acknowledge a correctly solved puzzle.
Large puzzles may be hard to view comfortably on smaller phone screens due to zoom limitations.
Many puzzle packs are locked behind paywalls, which some users find excessive or expensive.

2025-08-25	Ju*****	It's not as good as their other games. This one feels like it needed more colors and some level story mayhe. The levels all feel too similar to each other. Yet it's free with no ads and I finished all levels. So I did enjoy it enough. It just lacks the hype it feels a tad like trial and error.
