What website is this?
Star Battle Online brings 2-star Star Battle to the browser: two stars in every row, column, and colored region, with no stars touching orthogonally or diagonally. The site offers about 200 progressive levels, a daily 5-puzzle pack, and unlimited practice—open and play, no install required. Compared with sites that only offer random boards or one daily puzzle, it emphasizes unlocking by difficulty and replaying for faster times. You can share results after clearing a level; Google sign-in syncs unlocked progress and best times—you can play without logging in, but progress usually stays on that device.
Key Features
- Place stars on the grid while satisfying row, column, and region counts of two each
- No-touch rules block orthogonally and diagonally adjacent star placements
- In-game undo, check, hint, and full-board reset
- About 200 tiered levels, from readable boards to denser deductions
- Daily 5-puzzle challenge pack plus unlimited practice mode
- Share results after clearing; optional Google sign-in to keep unlocks and best times
Use Cases
- Commute or lunch breaks: open two levels in the browser without installing anything

Who is it for?
- Casual players who enjoy placement logic puzzles like Star Battle, Queens, and Sudoku
- Light users who want instant browser play without installing an app
- Heavy practicers who prefer climbing difficulty rather than only random boards or one daily puzzle
- Action or power-up game players—this is static deduction with low demand for touch precision
- Players seeking real-time multiplayer or story modes—the site focuses on solo puzzles
- Users who avoid Google yet want cross-device sync—playable without an account, but progress is hard to carry over
How It Compares to Similar Tools?
Star Battle sites with only random maps or one daily puzzle fit “play one round now”; this site’s 200 tiered levels plus unlimited mode suit those who want to build deduction skills. Versus Sudoku and Nonogram, the difference is irregular region shapes plus no-touch star placement—you scan rows, columns, and colored zones together. Number-grid fans may prefer Sudoku; those used to “place pieces with no-touch” logic may find Queens closer.
