Polimines 2

What a beautiful game. Even when it's cripplingly difficult it's never unfair or ambiguous. The only improvements to be found are within.

Juegazo, ahora hagan el 3 jajaj

Tough, but fair. If you've already torn your way through Hexcells, Crosscells, Squarecells, Tametsi, and Liqidium and went 'but is there anything *harder*?' - congratulations, you've found it. Polimines 2 has a couple unique modifiers/cells - the ¿? block, the chain block, and the 'elevator' (double-arrow) block. They all add some lovely, crunchy complexity into levels. Personally, I'm not the *biggest* fan of the mine group (double-arrow) block, just because it gets a bit tedious given the many, many blocks a mine group can end up traveling - it feels like you'd need a simulator outside of very basic deductions. But overall, I very much enjoy PM2. I'm only about 50% of the way through. Well worth your time if you enjoy these deductive reasoning games. EDIT: Suggestion: Add the ability to replace ¿? blocks with what you think the number is. The game shouldn't confirm if your number is right or wrong, but it would save a lot of holding info in your head and make things smoother. (Bonus points if we can do stuff like '<=2' or whatever) Also, I really don't like the Arrows block. It slows the entire game down to a crawl due to all the possibilities.

Sadly I cannot recommend any puzzle game with a "mistakes" mechanic impeding its completion.

This is a fiendishly brilliant set of puzzles. Excellent stuff.

１も楽しかったですが、２はもっと楽しいです。純粋にボリュームが増えてるのもそうですが、難易度がとてもあがってます。また１より特殊ルールみたいなのが増えており、とても頭を悩ませます。しっかり考えられたステージばかりで、ステージごとに新たな解き筋を見出さないと解けないことが多いです。前のステージで閃いた「こういう解き方がある！」というのが使えなかったりします。そのため解き方を思いついたときはとても気持ちいいです。つけっぱなしで放置してる時間があったため、プレイ時間は不明です。

Both Polimines games hit all the right notes for fans of Minesweeper or Picross - great combination of the two, and fiendishly difficult at points. Wonderful minimalist puzzle games.
