Puzzles By Axis Hyper

A good deal of playtime at token price point. You have to determine the state of the block out of 3 possibilities: blank or one of the two colors. Reminiscent of a popular Minesweeper variant Hexcells in mechanics if you’re familiar with that series of games but the extra possible state does make it fresher than it may sound. There are 165 levels, 19 of which are introductory tutorial puzzles, with gradually increasing number of blocks and all are unlocked from beginning so you can choose the size you feel like playing at any time. Difficulty covers all ranges; since I mentioned Hexcells, it would be comparably closest to Plus in terms of how approachable the puzzles are in general. If there is one thing I would like to see added it is the possibility to save in the middle of the puzzle for when you need to postpone solving it, but that’s just relatively minor inconvenience. Up to this point I never had to guess, and can see myself going through the entire set. There is a color blind mode, which has 3 options (prota-, deutera- and tritanopia). I just thought it’s something interesting to mention as it shows developer was considerate and went that extra mile with some of the f…

This is a game you pay to stare at the screen for several minutes at a time and occasionally click on stuff. I absolutely love it! A very niche and hard minesweeper evolution. There's no guessing, only "if this, then that" loops of blissful pain. This is wrapped in a very nice and chill presentation with a token price. Really delightful. If you have gone through the Hexcells rabbit role, this will be an awesome game. Overall Tametsi is still harder, but this one is also very rewarding. One of the nice things about it is that the 165 levels are great. Every single one. There's no filler, no introductory dumb levels. It's a small tutorial and then 165 levels of interesting logic to figure out. This became one of my favorites in this very niche genre. I really hope the release more with more rules and QoL improvements.

Excellent logic puzzles with a lot of levels and no guessing. I'm surprised more people haven't played this. Can change the colors of the board and background but only it set combinations. The puzzles are all very similar in form but each have their individual variations. Some of them are quite challenging, though never as complex as the more difficult levels of Tametsi. It's not a source of easy achievements, as the 165 levels can be very time-consuming. It is pretty much endlessly interesting if you get into it. Costs almost nothing so it's definitely worth it. Improvements could be: ability to save in levels. Also a different notation for blocks that you have determined can only be one color vs blocks you are trying to sort out would be great. As it is I felt reluctant to plot out possibilities on the board as I might lose track of which were definite and which were not. Still, most levels don't really need this, just some in the later game. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes logic puzzles and wants a longer game.

My initial review was positive because the game is amazing. I just got to level 51, had to quit the level halfway through because my kid woke up from his nap and when I came back, I realized the game does not save progress. I must have save functionality to enjoy the remaining 150 levels and will change my review back to a positive the second it is implemented. I can only play the game in little 15 minute spurts and don't have the time for working around the lack of saves i.e. taking screenshots or leaving the game running.

Good Minesweeper-like logic puzzle game, but closer to Hexcells, Hexcells, and Globesweeper: Hex Puzzler (i.e., in contrast to Tametsi) because of the different rules for figuring out which cell is which (such as cells must be contiguous or must have at least one space between all of them). I do enjoy this game, but I found a few of the rules to be easier to forget than I experience for other similar games when I don't play for a while; so I had to take screenshots of the rules and create a montage image file as a reference, and then add some of my own notes (such as: if a puzzle has two colors, and if a particular row/column only has one color as a clue, then the other color cannot be in that row or column; *however*, for the clues that show up directly on revealed cells, which can only ever be for one color, the other color is allowed to be within the range). Making an error is saved to your progress, similar to how many of these games work, but fortunately it doesn't prevent you from unlocking new levels (like one recent game I was annoyed with). As far as I can tell it only affects one achievement to complete all puzzles perfectly, which is not something I care about.

Top notch game. Deserves more attention.
