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.

Très bon jeu de puzzle particulièrement bien soigné visuellement et auditivement ! Ce fut un plaisir de le 100% !
This is quite the ideal chill puzzle game...hope there might be a sequel or additional levels in the works
Genial para personas a las que les gusten los puzles japoneses de deducción. Dificultad progresiva y muchas horas de juego.

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!
I am now just as addicted to nurikabe as I am to picross. Send help.
