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! Add the game to your wishlist if you want to be notified when the game is released. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1121530/Globesweeper_Hex_Puzzler

• 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.

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…

They seem to be talking about puzzle games. (more…)

• 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.
