Hexagonal Minesweeper puzzle levels. No guessing required. I 100% it in under three hours. It was a chill time, but I'll probably never re-install

Minesweeper but way better, handcrafted levels. Get all 3 games you won't regret it. Last game (infinite) has auto generated levels, but every level in these games can be solved without guessing, which makes it so cool. It's insanely hard, especially in the next 2 games, but you always know for sure that you never ever have to guess, there is a correct, find-able answer.

Bought this game because it reminds me of minesweeper. The game has relaxing music and balanced difficulty. Good game overall 👍

Short and fun puzzle that reminds me a lot of minesweeper. Very forgiving for making mistakes as well, but there is an achievement for doing it without any mistakes.
