A new update for Globesweeper has just been released. It adds two new themes, Mirror Globe and Twitch along with a couple new features.
A highlighting option has also been added to the game which can be enabled in the options menu. This shows you all adjacent tiles to the tile your cursor is hovering over and is useful if you are finding triangle mode difficult!
A how to play tutorial has been added to the game intended for new players who have never played a minesweeper game before but it also includes a tutorial on triangle mode which may be useful even for veteran minesweeper players. You can find this in the options menu too.

• Added Twitch current streams menu
• Added hover highlight option
• Added how to play tutorials

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?

How to Play

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.
