Guaranteed Solvable Now Available
[ 2019-02-26 18:29:24 CET ] [ Original post ]
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.

Globesweeper is a twist on the classic minesweeper game. Use the numbers to work out all the tiles that are safe to reveal but be careful one mistake revealing a mine will cause the whole globe to detonate and you will have to start again!
With hexagon, triangle and classic square game modes, 5 different globe sizes and 3 difficulty settings you can be playing on anything from tiny hexagonal globes made of 92 tiles to colossal triangle globes with 20,480 tiles.
Gain achievements to unlock all 14 themes including planet Earth, the Moon, Mars, stylish gold, ruby, emerald and sapphire.
Can you beat a colossal globe?
Each tile you reveal will have a number on it (blank means 0). This is the number of mines on adjacent tiles*. For example in hexagonal mode if you have a tile with a 3 on it and 3 of its 6 adjacent tiles have been revealed you know the other 3 are mines.
Now if you have a tile with 1 on it and one of its adjacent tiles has been marked as a mine you know the other 5 adjacent tiles are safe to be revealed as its mine is already accounted for.
Using this technique carry on until the whole globe is revealed. The same technique can be used for both the triangle and the classic square game modes.
*Adjacent tiles are any tiles that share a corner. For hexagons this is 6 tiles, squares 8 tiles and triangles 12 tiles.
