Asteroids Minesweeper

楽しそうなんだけど、操作性がねぇ。

This is a flawed game so while I recommend it, let me first go through the list of negatives: [list] [*]After the tutorial, guessing will come up here and there. The levels are randomly generated so if you get a particularly bad one you can just reload the level, but you will have to take chances occasionally. Though to make it less harsh, you are given several lives before the level is failed. [*]The camera is unwieldy. Rotation works fine but panning (moving the camera's focus) requires you to either double-click the block you want to focus on or moving it around with WASD+QE for the six possible directions. It's not as bad as other comments made it out to be but it makes it rather cumbersome on larger levels. It seems this problem stems from the developer's ambition to support as many control options as possible, with all mouse buttons already serving other purposes. [*]Being 3D, you don't get to see all fields from the start, especially on the denser levels. This becomes a challange when you have to remove "clue blocks" to see/mark what's behind them but not too many or you'll forget their clues and end up having to guess. [*]Not a complaint of me personally but this is not the classic Minesweeper mode where you flag the mines and leave them. You actively clear them out so you end up with an empty field. I don't mind this variant and it sure helps with the visibility problem mentioned above but some people have strong feelings about that. [/list] So with all this, why do I still recommend this game? [list] [*]It is one of the few [b]proper[/b] 3D Minesweeper games. Most of those I've seen advertized as 3D are simply planes wrapped around spheres, cubes and other shapes. They're fun but not really 3D. This on has [b]depth[/b]! Bumping the nunber of neighbors from 8 to 26 means you will have to think a lot harder (and from more angles) to solve the level. If there were as many of these types of Minesweeper games as there are 2D ones, the cons mentioned above would make this a hard pass but since it's very slim pickings, beggars can't be choosers. [*]The levels are randomly generated! Of course on one hand that means that they are not curated and checked for quality, on the other hand it means a lot of (potential) replayability from what at first seems like a small game. [*]For the price asked, you do get your money's worth as long as you can look past the shortcomings and treat is as a rather casual puzzler. It even goes on sale for -50% off but seriously, they're asking pocket change. [*]It seems that the game is very open to modding. That exceeds my skills but if you can code and have a vision on how precisely the game could be improved - well apparently you can do so yourself comparatively easily. [/list] In short: Despite it's flaws and somewhat bare-bones design, I do recommend it to fans of Minesweeper games to experience it in true 3D - especially considering the price and the lack of alternatives.

Ein Minesweeper in 3D, mit kleiner "Story" zum kleinen Preis. [b]Pro:[/b] [list] [*]Klassisches Minesweeper in die 3. Dimension gebracht. Und es funktioniert gut. [*]Verschiedene Gimmicks in den einzelnen Leveln bzw. Levelbreichen. [*]Fairer, wenn nauch teilweise recht knackiger Schwierigkeitsgrad. [*]Custome-Level mit frei wählbaren Einstellungen. [*]Schöner Soundtrack, der, zumindest für mich, auch nach "längerem" hören nicht nervig wurde. [*]Fairer Preis. [*]Die Story ist, auch wenn sie eigentlich eher irrelvant ist, eine nette Dreingabe. [/list] [b]Kontra:[/b] [list] [*]Die Kamerasteuerung ist ein wenig gewöhnungsbedürftig. (Besonders wenn's um die Z-Achse geht.) [*]Das Spiel läuft größtenteils in einer eher kleinen bzw. kurzen Kampagne ab, wodurch es insgesamt recht kurz ist. [/list] [b]Fazit:[/b] Für alle, die an Minesweeper ihren Spaß haben können, kann ich es nur wärmsten empfehlen. Es ist zwar nicht sonderlich lang, aber die kleinen Gimmicks und die Tatsache dass es noch die Custome-Level zum weiterspielen gibt, gleichen dies mehr als nur aus. Wer mit dem traditionellen Minesweeper nie so richtig warm gewurden ist, wird hieran allerdings auch wohl eher weniger seine wirkliche Freude haben.

It blows my mind how a game this good is so cheap. Absolutely recommend for people who love Minesweeper. This game is also good for those who are new to Minesweeper as it'll teach you how to play to an extent. It does suffer from sometimes having to make guesses, which also happens in standard minesweeper, but overall it's an incredible game; however, unlike standard Minesweeper, you have 5 tries, so screwing up once won't end the game. Personally I'd recommend learning how to play standard Minesweeper before tackling this game, because this game takes the minesweeper formula and makes it 3D, so understanding the standard game will make this game a lot more interesting and easier to pick up. Dirt cheap and incredibly fun. Buy this game.

The idea of this game is quite cool.Basically, this's the minesweeper game in 3d. The game itself is awesome, but you must be patient to really enjoy this game. There're two major flaws I want to complain in this game. One is its awkward camera angle, Sometimes you click on a cube you don't intend to and trigger a mine. One is the hints. They're quite confusing and made me misunderstood several times throught the gameplay. It's quite cheap, if you like this kind of game, you may give it a try.

J'ai vraiment beaucoup aimé cette version du démineur. Les nouvelles mécaniques qui y ont été intégrées sont ingénieuses. J'ai personnellement trouver que les contrôles et la caméra étaient faciles à utiliser. Et je ne vois pas très bien ce que l'utilisation des drapeaux comme dans le démineur pourraient apporter de plus étant donné que l'on peut désamorcer les bombes avec la fonction "sweep". La musique est relaxante et pas dérangeante du tout. J'aurais cependant apprécié un peu plus de variété. J'ai une dizaine d'heures de fait je crois et j'ai terminé les niveaux principaux (ceux qui terminent l'histoire). Il me reste donc encore plusieurs heures de jeu pour les niveaux supplémentaires. Le seul point négatif à mon avis est de ne pas pouvoir sauvegarder durant un niveau. Les niveaux sont assez long à faire et c'est dommage de devoir recommencer un niveau au début quand on doit quitter subitement. Très bon achat pour tout amateur de démineur!

Asteroids minesweeper is 3d minesweeper. As levels progress, the game will throw in a gimmick to spice things up. The game even features a small storyline. Overall entertaining, and cheap to boot.

Cool idea but i don't want to have to fight with the controls because i want to switch perspective

exactly what I look for good concept
