About
Nurikabe World is a relaxing logic puzzle game where you solve puzzles by creating islands and connecting rivers to create beautiful sceneries. Nurikabe World reimagines the classic Japanese pen-and-paper puzzle Nurikabe as a 3D game, where islands spring to life with trees and structures. Either play handcrafted puzzles, immerse yourself in the flow of infinitely generated maps or create and share your own puzzles with the integrated level editor.

In Nurikabe World, you create islands by placing water tiles. Each number must be separated into its own island with the indicated number of tiles. Completed islands will grow trees and other structures.
Getting started is easy, you only need to know a few rules to start playing!
All islands must be separated by water
The water must form one connected river
2x2 water squares, called "pools", are not allowed
Nurikabe World has puzzles of all sizes and difficulty levels. The crafted puzzles will take you through breezy 5x5 levels to 15x15 endurance-testing experiences and more. There are also a bunch of difficult smaller puzzles for bite-sized challenges.
Solving harder puzzles will require you to learn advanced solving techniques, which you'll learn along the way.

ぬりかべというパズルをゲームに落とし込んだ2Dパズル。 数字をヒントにマスを埋めたりマークをつけるという点ではお絵描きロジック(ピクロス等)と共通していますが、 そちらと違って解いても何かしらの絵が浮き出てくるということはないので、条件を絞って埋めていくという点で数独を少しマイルドにしたようなゲーム性です。 ゆったりとしたBGMを流しながら、塗っていない陸の部分に風景が浮かび上がったりといった雰囲気を楽しみながらリラックスできると思います。 BGMを切って別の音楽を作業的に流すのもよろし。 実績解除に30日ほど必要なデイリーがあるので欲しい人は気合入れましょう。
This puzzle game is perfect for me, and quite relaxing. No issues with mouse slips or small mistakes, since you can undo it without any sort of penalty (which is great, since I make lots of mouse slips, or misclicks). You can solve each puzzle (so far at least) with pure logic, and no guessing. There are some wonderful puzzles here that are worth the price of entry. I got this on sale, but I would still recommend this full price... still best to wait for a sale, since they are common. I do wish there was a "redo" button though, since sometimes I would like to go back and see if my logic made sense several moves ago, but then you have to redo the puzzle from there.
Exactly what it says. I really like it when puzzle games get into this flowy state of subconscious solving, rather than pushing my brain to its limits to try to find the solution.
Wonderful pen and paper puzzles with great options in the Steam Workshop too
I'm not a paper puzzle player fan, but this puzzle variant does attract me. I like this game because it contains tutorial, editors and puzzle generator modules. They are awesome!

This isn't a hard thumbs up, it might have got the "Meh Thumb" if there was a third option. The first half of the game where you are learning the new tricks it is more logicy and fun. But the second half it normally ended up just trying to brute force. You get the stage to fit the basic shape of what it will be, but then you just have to fiddle with it for a while to try make sure there are no 2x2s or orphan water. I don't know if i was playing it wrong, but it didn't seem like there was enough tutorial to be able to fully logic it out for the stage. One thing that hurt it for me is there is no way to say "I know this tile must be water", you can mark land as must-be-land, but not water which would help with the process of elimination.
I am now just as addicted to nurikabe as I am to picross. Send help.
