Sept. 2024

This game is not about solving puzzles, but about teaching your own robot exactly how to solve the puzzles automatically for you. As a player you are required to construct your own set of theorems to solve minesweeper. It is very unique and fun. The game is quite hard but is comfortably so. On the other hand, its UI is... well... let's be honest it's far from ideal. It is as if figuring out which enigmatic symbols or numbers on the screen mean what, and figuring out how you can interact with them, were a part of the game. And its help text is so terse and unfriendly that it catastrophically fails to actually help. I cannot give it 10 out of 10 for this single reason.

Sept. 2024

Logical puzzle game where you write rules that can solve minesweeper puzzles for you. It's kind of like a tutorial for writing basic logical proofs, as it starts out with only a few available rules but adds more variables over time that let you optimize your rules. Check out the free demo if you don't know if this is for you. The main downside is that the UI is really confusing and I didn't understand a few features until I read the discussion forum.

If you strip out all the survival crafting elements from an automation game, you get this beauty.

Visual programming to autosolve minesweeper and somehow pretty addicting if you got the right kind of autism

Feb. 2024

I tentatively recommend this, with three big notes. First is that this is the biggest example of "not for everyone" I have in my library. This is somewhere between a puzzle game and a programming game, and in reality it doesn't really scratch the same itch as either. It feels more like an Idle game, with incremental progress being made over time and steadily opening up more things to do... except that isn't how it plays, because things don't happen until you make them (and then generally happen right away). I treat it as more of a "zen" game; I come in once in a while for 10-20 minutes, find a couple of new rules, and then close it. Progress is slow, and kinda meaningless, but mostly constant. Basically; get this if the sound of this specific thing is interesting to you. The second is that the game teaches you to play it entirely through a wholly-inadequate set of diagrams which unlock gradually as you progress. Many of the diagrams are very easy to interpret completely incorrectly, and many of what will come to be key concepts aren't explained at all. You'll need to either look up guides, or get used to stumbling through the esoteric interface. As it stands, I mostly get what does what now... But I also know that there are a whole bunch of extra things I could do that are hidden behind undocumented key combinations. I hope this is an area that gets developed over time, as the barrier for entry here is high enough without it being unclear what's even possible. The third thing is, do only get this when it's on discount. I normally wouldn't make a big deal of this, but... OK. The dev has [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/2262930/discussions/0/5715692378857869774/#c5715692378858801273]publically stated they're going to shuffle the deals on and off every few weeks, with the (to all intents and purposes) "sale" price actually the intended price, made to look better by tapping into people's FOMO. This is a scummy tactic, but is extremely commonplace on Steam due to being effective, which is why the dev adopted it. And, like I said, I wouldn't normally make a big deal of this... except the dev is also so aware of how crappy and manipulative this is, he made a site tracking supermarkets doing this same thing . It's wild to me that, with that awareness of how effective and immoral that tactic is, he's decided to adopt it anyway, apparently just because people told him it works. ( You already knew it worked, my dude, and you used to know that that's part of the problem .) So if you do want this, get it on sale, with the awareness that that is, in fact, the "full" price, and anyone who buys it off sale is an extra-paying sacrifice in the pursuit of deliberately tricking others. ...This is a very negative review for a game I'm recommending. That's partly because it's honestly hard to put the positives into words; it is aggressively different from anything else out there. Hey, look; if this interests you at all conceptually, there is a demo. Give that a go, and see how you feel.
