Bullpen: Logic Puzzle Game review

Bullpen is a clean grid logic game in the same family as Star Battle and the Queens puzzle: place one bull in each pen, row and column so that no two bulls touch, even diagonally. A hard mode raises that to two bulls per pen, row and column. The US App Store listing promises uninterrupted gameplay with no ads and complete data privacy, and the game does not need an internet connection. New puzzles arrive every day, and you can compare your fastest time. A one-time Pro Version at $4.99 opens all 5,000 levels, Free Play mode, advanced statistics and iCloud sync. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Apple silicon Macs and Apple Vision Pro in 21 languages. The limits are that the big level library is behind Pro and there is no Android or web version listed. We compared documented features and published prices.
