Nurikabe has quickly become one of my favourite puzzles after learning about it through a daily puzzle game called Thinky Dailies (it rotates puzzle types, and one day it happened to be introducing Nurikabe).

I really enjoy how this engages my brain without breaking it and yet relaxes me at the same time. The visuals are so calming and the music is mellow too. And the various puzzles offer a variety of challenges to keep my mind sharp. A great game to play on breaks to unwind and decompress. Highly recommend!

Incredible puzzles, great introduction to the genre, the slow increasing difficulty worked very well.

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.
Recommended Jul 8, 2026
This is quite the ideal chill puzzle game...hope there might be a sequel or additional levels in the works
