Made a hex version of Minesweeper, 6 neighbors instead of 8. Still testing it, curious what this sub thinks
Hey !
I have been working on this for a while and figured this is the one sub that'll actually tell me if it's any good or not.
It's Minesweeper but on a hex grid, so every cell has 6 neighbors instead of 8. The deduction ends up feeling pretty different once you get into it, which is the whole reason I built it.
There's a campaign with levels that ramp up in difficulty, and an infinite mode that's basically one endless map, it only stops when you hit a mine. There's also a custom mode where you set your own board size (up to 12 in radius for now) and mine density if you want to dial in exactly the kind of game you like. It keeps your last 12 games in history so you can replay them (except infinite games, those aren't replayable, for now at least), and it tracks stats so you can see how you're doing over time. Few different themes too, mostly because staring at the same grid for months made me want some variety. It runs at up to 120 fps so the board stays smooth.
No-guess boards aren't in yet but that's going in later this week, I know that's the first thing half of you are going to ask about. It's on Android for now, and since it's built in Unreal I'll probably get it onto other platforms too if there's interest. It's also in a few languages (EN/FR/JP), I'm no translator so I did my best with what help I could find, so apologies in advance if something reads odd in your language.
Nothing in it costs real money. No coins to buy, no premium unlock, nothing. There are ads but they're never forced, you only ever watch one if you choose to.
It's still very much a work in progress and I'm adding stuff to it pretty much daily, so there'll likely be more in it by the time it actually releases. If there's a feature you'd consider important for something like this, I'd really like to hear it, that's exactly the kind of feedback that's useful to me right now. I'm not a big Minesweeper player myself, I only got into it fairly recently, so I'm still learning a lot of it day to day on top of building this.
It's not released yet so I'm not dropping a link, I just want honest opinions on the actual game. Tear it apart if you want, I'd rather hear every opinion on it.
Thanks for reading me guys...
