How to Play Puzzle Series Vol. 11: Nurikabe
Quick start
Read the tutorial and begin with an introductory board. Leave numbered cells white and count the total area each island needs, including its clue. Shade unnumbered cells that must separate islands, keeping the black region connected. Check for accidental 2×2 black squares. Use erase when revising a choice, then 解答判定 to check your finished board.
Controls
Use the stylus on the lower grid, choosing the black-cell tool to shade an unnumbered square. Use the displayed white/dot marking tool for cells you have decided to leave white, and 消す to remove marks. 解答判定 checks the answer and ヘルプ opens guidance. Keep the puzzle's island and black-region rules separate from these touch tools.
Puzzle Series Vol. 11: Nurikabe — About this game
Puzzle Series Vol. 11 - Nurikabe asks you to separate white islands by shading the surrounding cells. Each island contains one number, and its total area must equal that clue. The black cells form a single connected region, but cannot make a solid 2×2 block. Deciding that a cell is white can be as important as shading it, because every island needs room without merging with another clue. The DS edition offers a step-by-step tutorial and graded boards. Solve-time stars encourage revisiting familiar puzzles, while the lower working grid and upper overview help you judge local choices against the whole arrangement.
