About Hashi (Bridges)

Hashi is a typical puzzle game, where you try to connect islands with bridges.

The goal of Hashi is to connect every island with as much bridges as the number on the island displays. Two connecting islands can either have one or two bridges.

You win Hashi, when every island is connected either directly or indirectly with every other island. That means that they must build a closed network. But be aware, that bridges must not be crossing each other.

Each game is generated and therefore unique, so there are unlimited games to play without any payment.

The gameplay of Hashi is very simple: You press on the island you want to connect, shift to the island you want to connect it to and release your finger on that island. With that, a bridge is built. Repeat to build two bridges, and again to remove the bridges.

There are different levels in Hashi that have different size of the field. But don't be afraid to try a more difficult level, as every level will be saved, so you can continue on that later.

Methods:

Usually it is useful to start with the highest numbered islands. Building bridges eliminates the possibility for other bridges, as they may not cross. With that it forces to place another bridge, as there are no more possibilities.

An island with 3 in a corner, an island with 5 along a side and island of 7 in the middle requires at least one bridge to every direction.

A corner island with 4, an island along a side with 6 and an island with 8, requires two bridges to every direction.

The same is of course the same for 3 and 4 that only have two directions left and for 5 and 6 that have only three directions left.

It is advisable to watch out for islands that have no more options left. For instance, when you have an island with 1 and a possibility to every direction, you connect it, as soon as three of these possibilities have gone, due to blocking bridges.

Always keep in mind, that all island must be connected to one single network. Therefore some connections are not possible, such as connecting two 1 together.

History:

The first version of Hashi (the full name is Hashiwokakero) was published in September 1990 in the magazine Puzzle Communication Nikoli. Although an earlier version of the game has already been published in December 1989.

A wonderfully addictive logic puzzle game. Simple yet challenging. Intuitive gameplay. There are many more techniques than the game lists for you. You need to discover them for yourself. Some reviews complain about having to guess. If you're guessing, then you're missing something. If the situation is too complex to reason through in your head, use strategic trial and error to eliminate options. My only complaint is that it's too easy for me now. I need more challenging puzzles. (big != hard)

Excellent. I've had this installed for some years now and return to it again and again. Achievable but not boringly simple or impossibly hard. Yes, there are ads but they are only short and not intrusive. As someone else commented, the leader board is meaningless but I think it's gone now anyway. A toggle button that showed the connected islands in different colours would be really helpful for when you're struggling, so all green would be the ultimate aim. Great job Pipi Chick Studio.

Wonderful for short puzzle challenges. Since I started playing it last year, I have slowly advanced from the beginner level through hard all the way to insane. Along the way I've discovered reasoning tricks that made it easier. The 'insane' level is sometimes quite difficult, with backtracking, and I won't start one unless I have enough free time. It has held up well over the past year. I do wonder about the algorithm used to generate puzzles with a unique solution.

A nice purist implementation of the Japanese solitaire puzzle game "Hashi". If you are looking for a Hashi app this is the one I stopped at, after trying out a handful of others. 3 or 4 maybe? The controls are easy to use, especially if you actually read the instructions before you just start drawing lines... There are lots of levels and packets of puzzles from easy to very difficult, and if ads drive you nuts, for a tiny fee you can remove them.

This is a great logic puzzle game, I haven't heard of Hashi puzzles before but it explained how to play reasonably well and the rest is easy to learn. Fun and addictive, like minesweeper meets Go. The graphics and GUI are great, well designed. There are some adverts but as mobile games go it's very good, only 1 short usually skippable advert between puzzles and nothing on the sides or anything like that while you are doing the puzzle.

Hashi is a simple game about connecting dots. at first, it's simple, but the moment you realize you can only connect dots in cardinal directions is when you really understand what's happening. you slowly understand tricks and methods to find the solution, and then you move on to the medium and hard puzzles. the game loop is fun, the achievements give incentive to play more, and the game works on airplane mode. 10/10, would recommend.
