First Impressions:
The variation in background tiles instead of the traditional squares minesweeper is refreshing. There was one game where symbols substituted in for numbers and that was neat as well. The look and feel of the game is also a welcome improvement over the old gray Windows minesweeper. However, the overall game is still just minesweeper, so the novelty is limited.

Note: adjacency means touching by at least a vertex.

Across games that I played, using logic meant there was a solution and guessing was not needed. It seems the game ensures this. The developers write this on the Steam store page: "No need to worry—throughout the game, advanced procedural generation ensures that every level is solvable without guessing. If you get stuck, don’t blame the developer just yet—take another look. There might still be information you haven’t fully used."
Demo Rating: 4.0 out of 5
