The first thing you will notice is globes are no longer solid, they have gaps everywhere. This instantly creates new patterns to learn, that you need to solve the puzzles. But it doesn't stop there. There are eight new mechanics to learn like X number of mines in a given area or Y number of mines in a chain. With 92 levels to complete, there is so much fun to be had!

  • Guaranteed Solvable Now Available - 26 February 2019

    We have been listening to all the great feedback from the community and the top thing people wanted was a guaranteed solvable mode. So it's here, you can now choose guaranteed solvable as one of the generation settings. There is also a new mine density setting called insane. In this mode there are as many mines as its possible to cram into a globe while still making it guaranteed solvable. Be warned though this mode is extremely hard. There is also a lot of quality of life changes which you can find listed below in the patch notes. Be sure to give us your feedback. If you think you have found a globe that is not guaranteed solvable be sure to post the seed in the discussions along with a screenshot so I can double check it. You can find the seed in the options menu. Patch Notes Added - Guaranteed solvable mode Added - Insane mine density setting Added - RMB + LMB area clear Added - MMB…

And yes, this one is John. The side with Brendan is a bit grubby, but it s unmistakeably him. Smells a bit weird. What could this mean? Of course! It s the RPS podcast, the Electronic Wireless Show .

  • Wot I Think: Globesweeper - 13 February 2019

    Developer: Incandescent Games Publisher: Incandescent Games Release: Out now On: Windows, Mac, Linux From: Steam Price: 2, $2.70, 2 Minesweeper is a terrible puzzle game. It’s not a terrible game! But it’s a terrible puzzle game. Because Minesweeper involves guessing, and that’s fundamentally bad puzzle design. Whether you enjoy playing it comes down to how you approach it. If you’re someone who enjoys methodically solving complicated puzzles using learned techniques (hello!) then Minesweeper is the worst. If you’re someone who loves reaching a certain point where all you can do is blindly click and hope, then it offers the thrill of chance. We all should learn to live in peace and harmony. (But when we do eventually go to war, I know which side is going to win. Hint: it’s the side that doesn’t randomly jump on places where their might be bombs.…

Short description

Use logic to clear tiles while avoiding mines. Choose from tiny one minute globes to colossal hour long marathons. With hexagonal, square and triangle game modes this unforgiving puzzle game will keep you coming back for more.

About this game

Globesweeper is a twist on the classic minesweeper game. Use the numbers to work out all the tiles that are safe to reveal but be careful one mistake revealing a mine will cause the whole globe to detonate and you will have to start again! With hexagon, triangle and classic square game modes, 5 different globe sizes and 4 difficulty settings you can be playing on anything from tiny hexagonal globes made of 92 tiles to colossal triangle globes with 20,480 tiles. Play in traditional or guaranteed solvable mode where you never have to guess. Gain achievements to unlock all 14 themes including planet Earth, the Moon, Mars, stylish gold, ruby, emerald and sapphire. Can you beat a colossal globe? How to Play Each tile you reveal will have a number on it (blank means 0). This is the number of mines on adjacent tiles*. For example in hexagonal mode if you have a tile with a 3 on it and 3 of its 6 adjacent tiles have been revealed you know the other 3 are mines. Now if you have a tile with 1 on it and one of its adjacent tiles has been marked as a mine you know the other 5 adjacent tiles are safe to be revealed as its mine is already accounted for. Using this technique carry on until the whole globe is revealed. The same technique can be used for both the triangle and the classic square game modes. *Adjacent tiles are any tiles that share a corner. For hexagons this is 6 tiles, squares 8 tiles and triangles 12 tiles. Key Features Guaranteed solvable option Hexagonal, classic and triangle modes 5 globes sizes to choose from 4 difficulty levels 120 Global scoreboards 14 themes to unlock

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $2.99
  • Highest observed: $2.99

Globesweeper's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $2.99, the highest is $2.99, and the first visible tracked price is $2.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Globesweeper's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $2.99. The latest run records $2.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $2.99
  • Current list price: $2.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Globesweeper at $2.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
