    Globesweeper: Hex Puzzler



    Globesweeper: Hex Puzzler takes the spherical minesweeper concept from Globesweeper and twists it into a whole new logic puzzle.

    The first thing you will notice is globes are no longer solid, they have gaps everywhere. This instantly creates new patterns to learn, that you need to solve the puzzles. But it doesn't stop there. There are eight new mechanics to learn like X number of mines in a given area or Y number of mines in a chain. With 92 levels to complete, there is so much fun to be had!

    Add the game to your wishlist if you want to be notified when the game is released.

    Guaranteed Solvable Now Available

    We have been listening to all the great feedback from the community and the top thing people wanted was a guaranteed solvable mode. So it's here, you can now choose guaranteed solvable as one of the generation settings.

    There is also a new mine density setting called insane. In this mode there are as many mines as its possible to cram into a globe while still making it guaranteed solvable. Be warned though this mode is extremely hard.

    There is also a lot of quality of life changes which you can find listed below in the patch notes.

    Be sure to give us your feedback.

    If you think you have found a globe that is not guaranteed solvable be sure to post the seed in the discussions along with a screenshot so I can double check it. You can find the seed in the options menu.

    • Added - Guaranteed solvable mode
    • Added - Insane mine density setting
    • Added - RMB + LMB area clear
    • Added - MMB area clear

    • Added - Keyboard controls for playing on laptops
    • Added - MMB camera rotation
    • Added - Volume controls
    • Added - Seed display
    • Added - 75 new scoreboards (120 total)
    • Changed - max camera zoom increased
    • Changed - Stats storage
    • Fixed - Bug where camera would zoom out on spherified cubes at the corners
    • Fixed - Possible exploit with game saves
