TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #10 TheGreatEscaper, May 6, 2016 Hexcells was released first on PC with a cool concept, but the puzzles weren't very difficult. Hexcells plus came out with super tricky puzzles. And then Hexcells Infinite came out with (technically) 100000000 puzzles. I suppose if you wanted they could all be grouped into one. I don't mind having different apps though and if it's the price that concerns you the series is well worth the total asking price. They're not huge apps either.

TheGreatEscaper Well-Known Member Oct 10, 2014 1,025 22 38 #13 TheGreatEscaper, May 6, 2016 Have you bought the game and do not understand the rules, or can you just not understand the rules from the screenshots? It's essentially a puzzle oriented Minesweeper crossed with Picross, with a few twists as well. There's never any guessing required. It can get very difficult. mzinn Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2014 770 0 16 #14 mzinn, May 6, 2016 It was just a convenience thing. No worries on cost or 3 small apps. The difficulty picks up after a while. A few times I made a mistake & then re-looked at the board & said of course. Once the reference numbers start to disappear you have to deduce from a few different hints it can be a head scratcher. I'm loving it. Oh & I hated minesweeper yet I'm really enjoying this series. Breinstein Well-Known Member Sep 27, 2012 527 5 18 The Netherlands #15 Breinstein, May 6, 2016 I hope somebody can explain to me why, in the added screenshot I have to mark the left cell blue and not the one on the right ( looking at the 3 within brackets)? The brackets mean the cells have to be marked adjacent, but in my opinion in either option they are adjacent ? I am not a native English speaker so maybe I am not quite understanding the meaning of adjacent ? I thought it meant next to each other .

You know how minesweeper has a bunch of guesses? This doesn't. You can always figure out your next move by the information given to you. The puzzles get more complex, and you are given different types of clues as the game goes on. But the reason why this game is so good, is it sometimes feels like there are no clues, but you have to truly analyze and think about what you are seeing. You are never presented wrong information, because if you mess up in clearing a tile you immediately know. It does not let you play a wrong move (however attempting to play a wrong move dings you, and you get less points). Like most incredible puzzle games, it's about the experience of solving the puzzle. You cannot understand that from a screenshot (without understanding the rules). indalico Well-Known Member Aug 25, 2011 660 0 16 ohio #17 indalico, May 6, 2016 Spoiler Only 1 cell to mark blue remains. All remaining yellow cells NOT covered by the {3} cell must turn black. The top cell in {3} has to be black as it's not possible to be connected by the other blues. Breinstein Well-Known Member Sep 27, 2012 527 5 18 The Netherlands #18 Breinstein, May 6, 2016 Thanks. How stupid of me to overlook this obvious solution . TrencH Well-Known Member Patreon Gold Mar 29, 2013 284 2 18 #19 TrencH, May 6, 2016 I would be all over this if this came out for the iPhone.

Perfect example of that is the screenshot above posted by Breinstein & explained by indalico. You can start to think the one to the upper right could be blue or the one to the lower left. But you have to think further & touch the top one knowing that it can't be blue because of the consecutive clue. Eliminating the top spot will give you the clue it can't be the one on the upper right. Sneaky game! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
