Ink Paper Minesweeper

⠀

Pros: + it is minesweeper ; + it contains fascinating artworks ; + you can choose your custom color scheme, flag design, etc ; + sometimes while getting on mine if first 1-3 opened tiles game just mark mine as black tile and allows to keep playing ; + you can flow open tiles or flow flag (dragging mouse holding M1 to open multiple tiles or flag multiple tiles on the way of cursor) ; + you can glitch skip levels till last level (accidentally discovered that after losing I still can press "D" and proceed to next level) ; + you can open almost all map from the very beginning using flow opening or speedrun touching mine to skip . Cons: - visuals are kind of confusing: using dots to show amount of mines around tile is kind of confusing for such casual minesweeper player as me instead of numbers, also opened tiles have different colors that sometimes can look like not opened tiles or make dots hardly visible ; - glitch skip can bug the game and you will have to start over again by resetting your progress in menu :) (if you try to glitch skip final level with artwork) ; - idk how much of a con this is but minesweeper mechanics are a bit flawed that makes the game easier because you can o…

it's alright. anyway, here's a guide for a 5 piece hatsune miku color palette: [list] [*]#373b3e (55,59,62) [dark gray, for the legs/arms] [*]#bec8d1 (190,200,209) [silver, for the top] [*]#86cecb (134,206,203) [dark cyan, for shading] [*]#137a7f (19,122,127) [teal, for hair and tie] [*]#e12885 (225,40,133) [magenta, for accessories] [/list]

"Ink Paper Minesweeper" is an unabashed ripoff of Microsoft's minesweeper, and the kicker is, the developer didn't make this fully free, it's donationware. You know you can play Minesweeper for free without needing to download it through Steam, right? Heck, you can even do it in a browser or on a mobile phone. What do you do in the game? It's Minesweeper. The developer ripped off Minesweeper, someone else's game. But he wants your money for it. Even worse, this features art that the developer "borrowed" from other sources... he wants your money for someone else's artwork, too. Dodgy, shady and unethical. The graphics aren't great... that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for compromise. You deserve better than compromises. This is only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out for a $1 USD "donation" for this as you're expected to buy some extra DLC from Steam... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who…

Some stages start off with nothing visible so you have to guess what is a safe spot to start the game. Even if you don't click on a mine, you'll still have to keep guessing until you get to something that you can actually use logic on.

I like the art and design attempt, but the artistic decisions make it too confusing to play. A minesweeper veteran, I could not understand for the life of me how bomb identifiers were coded, Instead of saying 1 or 2 or 6 bombs, it just had colours, and I couldn't find the colour legend anywhere. Just add some numbers and I'll give this a thumbs up
