HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (8.4 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

No common theme in the bad reviews, or they aren't in English.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • It would be nice to be able to mark squares with symbols, but even without, it's a good game. 5★, Aug 7, 2024
  • good app, i just wish there were more free levels 4★, May 27, 2023
  • Only one wish: when I surround an area with the correct number inside, it would be great if it could automatically fill up the room with dots 5★, Feb 16, 2021
  • I only wish you would get more puzzles for what you pay. 4★, Feb 20, 2020
  • Love nurikabe, I can appreciate the monetization, but I want a way to mark a square so I can explore whether it works or not if I am unsure, and this doesn't have that, like the other apps with nurikabe I have tried. 3★, Sep 4, 2019
  • An omnibus app with all the varieties of puzzle would be great, but I'll settle with my folder! 5★, May 30, 2019
  • I wish I could drag to continue with more dots or blocks (like Sea Battle). 5★, Dec 14, 2018

★★★★★Apr 14, 2026

Finished all the starter pack in 2 days. I enjoyed the puzzles, but the other packs are locked with payment, while the weekly bonus takes too long for me.

★★★★★Mar 15, 2026

it seems like I find an answer that fits all the criteria, but it's not the specific one that they're looking for.

★★★★★Jan 18, 2026

Great puzzles and incredible value for the money. No Ads!!

★★★★★Oct 20, 2025

I love the puzzle method and it really is good for your brain.

★★★★★Sep 28, 2025

Excellent

★★★★★Aug 25, 2025

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.

Store description

Partition between clues with walls to create islands with corresponding size! Each puzzle consists of a grid containing clues in various places. The object is to create islands by partitioning between clues with walls so that the number of squares in each island is equal to the value of the clue, all walls form a continuous path and there are no wall areas of 2x2 or larger. Each island must contain one clue and be isolated from other islands horizontally and vertically. Nurikabe are addictive island-forming puzzles which were invented in Japan. Using pure logic and requiring no math to solve, these fascinating puzzles offer endless fun and intellectual entertainment to puzzle fans of all skills and ages. The game features a highlighting option to help see if a wall segment is about to become isolated, and an island size counter to view how many squares belong to an island. To help see the puzzle progress, graphic previews in the puzzle list show the progress of all puzzles in a volume as they are being solved. A Gallery view option provides these previews in a larger format. For more fun, Conceptis Nurikabe includes a Weekly Bonus section providing an extra free puzzle each week.
