Review summary

Star Battle Puzzle | Hoshi is praised for its challenging and well-designed puzzles with a clean interface and good variety in difficulty. Users appreciate the absence of intrusive ads and the developer's responsiveness. However, many reviews express frustration over the app's paywall-heavy structure, expensive packs, and recent update changes that introduce ads and limit free plays. The hint system is criticized, and some users experience bugs affecting daily puzzles. Navigation annoyances and perceived lack of fairness in monetization practices are common complaints.

Pros

Engaging and challenging puzzle gameplay that is both relaxing and fun.
No intrusive ads in the free version, contributing to a pleasant user experience.
Good variety in difficulty levels and a clean, well-designed interface with appealing themes like dark mode.
Developer is responsive and provides updates to fix issues and improve the game.
Offers a sizeable quantity of puzzles with daily and weekly challenges to keep players engaged.

Cons

Most content beyond the daily and weekly puzzles is behind paywalls requiring either expensive pack purchases or yearly subscription, making it costly for players.
Recent updates introduced intrusive ads and limited free plays/checks behind an energy meter, frustrating paying and free users alike.
The hint or 'check' system is considered broken or ineffective by some, reducing the challenge of puzzles.
Buggy behavior regarding daily puzzles loading issues and losing progress punishes users unfairly.
Navigation issues such as having to manually scroll back to packs after finishing levels make gameplay tedious.

2025-02-02	Ka*****	The game is fun and honestly a good challenge. I only gave 3 stars because a lot of it is paid content and pro membership stuff so mostly only the daily and weekly puzzle are free. Edit: I realize that it is not easy to make and run an app, and I understand that you need to get back what you put in. I am not against supporting developers, just unable to. I only wish you could buy packs as a difficulty level set instead of each one individually
