If you've played Minesweeper to death and it's to the point where it's all pattern recognition instead of puzzle solving, this is a great pickup, and basically might as well be Minesweeper 2 in my eyes. The simple addition of a procedurally generated irregular grid raises the variance between games tremendously and requires you to basically forget all of the number/bomb patterns you know since they no longer apply.

About This Game
On a regular grid, each cell has 8 neighbors, but in this case, they can have between 6 and 10. This leads to more difficult games, as you can't build the same mental tricks to solve where the mines are.

And the grid is procedural and unique on each game.
The game opens on beginner mode, with a small grid. You can change the difficulty to intermediate or expert, which will create larger grid. You also have a custom mode, where you can go crazy.


Guarantied no luck involved, only logic: When a level is generated, a solver goes through it first, and tries to complete it using only the clues and number of mines remaining. If it gets stuck it, the level is updated accordingly, until the solver manages to complete it. This guaranties that when you start a level, you can always finish it yourself without having to rely on luck.

The twist is that im bad at the game.
I got bored of minesweeper literally decades ago, so when I saw this new version I thought "what the heck maybe fun for an evening or so". Turns out the unpredictable layout draws you in, you have to pay attention, but in many ways the game is also easier. Its hard to put into words but it seems there are more potential mistakes that can end your game, but also more opportunities to move forward when you feel stuck. Overall this game feels close enough to minesweeper classic for me to jump straight in but also fresh enough to keep me challenged. Its a solid recommend for old minesweeper players like me. For people who like logic puzzles I would also recommend. 56 hours later I'm still playing,
Interesting variant on the Minesweeper formula with irregular patterns where you end up not seeing every bomb area that borders where you click, but once the bomb explodes you think "Oh, I should have seen that". Pretty challenging on the larger levels.
perfect. Of course, there are a lot of situations that require gambling on luck. If the author wants to further optimize. How about beautifying materials and optimizing algorithms
