Globesweeper: Hex Puzzler

I really wanted to like this game. It adds new interesting rules to mine sweeper, and the 3d shape is fun to traverse. The problem is the puzzle design is bad. You have to guess too often. There are many times when there are two tiles, one of which holds a bomb. But you have no indication, even with all the new rule sets, of which one is the correct answer. The additional lives helps with this somewhat, but as a lover of puzzle games, I strongly believe there should always be a method of solving a puzzle with no mistakes. And making players guess in order to progress the puzzle makes for bad design and a frustrating game.

Very pleasant music and sounds, dynamic music when we do msitakes or when the clear most fo the stage. Simple, thrilling, just creative enough to be worth buying, and extremely polished for a small studio, by today's very low standards.

Good puzzle design, all the mechanics are thoroughly explored, overall a very fun game. My only complaints are the audio which gets pretty annoying rather quickly, and the fact that some levels are way too long (particularly towards the end). I feel like not much would be lost if some of them were half or even a third as long as they are.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, although the majority of that was at the end. The puzzles are generally easy - you don't have to go through complex logic to solve anything, and really only moderately difficult logic at the end. What you have to do to 100% this game though is be very precise. The later levels are very long (and my favorite ones), and you have to switch between different rules without making a single mistake to get a perfect score. It took me 24 hours for a full clear.

A great game that offers some twists to classic Minesweeper, for a very fair price. I really liked the additional rules to spice things up. Do note that this is not a classic minesweeper game that let's you randomly generate maps, it's a collection of 92 pre-build maps. Try the other globesweeper game, made by the same developer, if you want randomly generated maps.

Best puzzle game out there and I play a ♥♥♥♥ ton. This dev makes an actual minesweeper game if that's your thing, way more polished and creative than any other on the market. This is it's own logic and puzzle game. I had more fun on this $8 game than I did any any $30 mainstream game I hear about.
