好玩，使我的大脑旋转

Overall: I think gameplay wise this game did the best it could. Greatly recommend if you like meta logic games in general. Most glaring issue is just the really terrible unintuitive UI, but if you power through that there's some part to be enjoyed about this game. The rule system overall is a bit clunky and takes a while to understand, and you only get to enjoy writing a few clean general rules before getting thrown into a huge mess of pretty ugly specific rules, and the matching system for rules is not really clear to understand. The enjoyment of what's promised is really short lived. Although I can't really blame the dev since content wise there isn't a lot of clean general rules that you can write, but the UI definitely amplified the negative experience by several times. Good thing about this game: - It's super satisfying when you create a rule and it automatically solves a lot of puzzles in an instant - Truly abstract reasoning about minesweepers - There is a really good mix of easy levels and really challenging / interesting levels Problems in order of most importance to least important: - UI is horrendous. Of course if you know what each thing does it makes sense, but it takes a lot of effort to figure out what each thing does and already presupposes a way of thinking about minesweeper that isn't quite common. - Really visually unappealing - Features are locked behind number of levels to make the game artificially hard in the beginning, and just requires you to start from the beginning - Rules are applied restrictively, so a rule that can be applied to a x+ region will not apply to an x region unless you make another rule that says if a region has x mines it must have at least x mines, which is tautological - It's hard to organize rules, you quickly get a lot of rules - Rules feels a bit restrictive at times, making you feel like it's specifically harder so you need more complicated rules (i.e. no negative reasoning, i.e. you can't assume that if a cell is a mine then after a long sequence of deduction there is a contradiction, you must deduce that positive results, i.e. the mine count of these cells is such such)
