Look man, I donno. Do you want Minesweeper? You like Minesweeper? Because it's Minesweeper, but arty! I don't feel like explaining Minesweeper. If you were old enough, you had this on your computer. Everybody had it. It was inescapable. You had the bouncy-cards solitaire, you had Minesweeper. Folks, I played a LOT of Minesweeper in the past. I kind of sucked at it though. Not because I didn't understand how to play it, it's fairly logical. But simply because I'd sort of get into a processing fog and eventually make a mistake, or misclick, and Minesweeper is the sort of game where a single error is a gameover state, with no possibility of recovery. It demands immediate perfection. I err grievously on a daily basis and I think tuna juice is tasty. I am not cut out for this. This game changes up the tone, though.

Click Painter is a colorful logic puzzle that puts players in the role of an artist tasked with creating paintings for display at Armi's museum. As a unique twist, the game is played the complete opposite of the classic Minesweeper formula. Rather than avoiding bombs, players are tasked with identifying their locations based with numerical clues and applying the correct colors to create a visually captivating masterpiece. Featuring 96 levels and multiple game modes, including Classic and Custom, this cerebral title offers endless hours of entertainment for puzzle lovers. With similarities to Mark Ffrench's Mega Mosaic games, players must use their deduction skills to determine the correct paint colors and locations for each cell. Developed by fallshad, Click Painter boasts a variety of graphic resolution options and support for window mode. Although game controllers are partially supported, players can enjoy a range of difficulty levels, from casual to moderate. While the game does not offer an undo function, mid-level saving is available, ensuring progress is never lost. With a tutorial to guide new players and support for nine languages, it caters to a diverse audience. The i…

This made me love Minesweeper. I got totally invested in this because it is so rewarding to keep going until you hit perfect on all the puzzles. I recommend it for people who like to just chill out and work on a challenge for a while and it feel like more of a payoff than Minesweeper being like "here's 20 random black circles!"

a cozy minesweeper puzzle game with colours. exactly as advertised. the puzzles are nice to make and it is just fun and cozy to sit back and relax with. I had some problems with the controls, but after sending a message, extra options got added within days, amazing dev. It's now a lot easier to play the game.

Good
