@@Carma281 It does, the 2 in that position is saying that there's a group of two in that row, nothing more. If it were at the top (where the 1 is) it would mean there's a mine in that row and in that column. It makes more sense when you play and you can toy around with the UI helper.

Has anyone told you the red Xs look out of place? How about having the numbers greyed out, or a singular black strikethrough? Geniunely curious, it may be a me thing but I think they look way out of place

Tyler does it in a way a little more complicated than I do, in this scenario I'd just do the left most, see how many are not bombs on the right, and take that number away stating from the left, the squares that go over 3, in this case, is the one with the bomb, there's no math this way so it's easier for me kdjxjxjc

@@Typhlosion952 since he voltorb flip is in a lot of pokemon fangames, i have played it fairly recently. 100% you have to guess for soem levels. you can definitely find the more likely spots for no voltorbs though. I do think one important thing to realise for that game though, is that its never worth clearng the board, 1 point squares have 0 value so you only need to click the 2 and 3 point squares to clear a level, this does help narrow it down a lot since you know that if the bombs+points of any row or column=5, then you dont have to click any of the squares in that row/column

omg! the editing on this video was so god-like, the squares showing up briefly to help explain Tyler's logic was so well done. Expecially the animation to show all possible mine group locations. Bravo editors, you people are polishing Tyler's gem into an even better beaut.

Reminds me of Hexcells, having both clues inside and outside the grid. I loved that game, so I'm looking forward to seeing more of this game!

I don't think that I have seen Tyler play such an in depth puzzle game since the step up in editing prowess. The editing is so good in fact, that if I were to go out and play this game for myself, I think it would feel like it was missing key features. 10/10

A combination of Minesweeper and Nonogram... The two puzzle that took up hours of my time... Sounds perfect!

Tyler makes great content. The Editors make great content. Together they are unstoppable!!!

Woah. Another minesweeper variant. With so many variations of the original, there are so many Aliensrock videos just waiting to be made.

huge agree, Tyler always making me want to slowly drain my wallet with banger puzzle games

The way that the numbers themselves are tiles, like that double question mark around 6:15, is just so clever to me. They both refer to vertical single groups, but they also refer together as a horizontal double group, and both are separate. It just feels so clever to me

you should try playing bombe, it’s similar to minesweeper but you tell the computer the rules and it solves the puzzles based on the rules you set

The combination of Picross and Minesweeper seems SO obvious now! This is definitely one of those “Why didn’t I think of that?” moments for me. :)

this is like hexcells which is one of my favorite minesweeper varients, I love it

I keep suggesting to people that they should play minesweeper and they always brush it off as a joke, finally I found my place to be

Hi Tyler. Glad you’re back with another minesweeper game. But what happened to 14 minesweeper variants? It seems like that gameplay session was abandoned abruptly almost a year ago.

​@@Aliensrock Hmmm... it's unfortunately that people don't watch it for long, but it also makes sense why. Despite its vastly deep content, 14mv is the least visually and audibly entertaining out of all the minesweeper games you have played. It's made from the same developer of Understand, but at least Understand has funny levels plus different colors to make it visually enjoyable, while 14mv keeps the same color scheme all around and it's all strictly serious. Don't get me wrong, I bought and played 14mv as well after seeing you showcased it, and it is a really great brain teaser (sometimes too great actually when the levels become difficult). But I also understand that most of the gameplay itself (the deduction and reasoning) is really cut and dry, almost to the level of just watching someone else solving math equation. Still, thanks for the reply!

I love puzzles like this. There is only 1 solution so viewers can 'play along'. Puzzle games where there's multiple solutions or where characters/puzzle pieces need to be moved around are harder to play along with as the puzzle to be solved is effectively changing all the time.

So basically sudoku, if you're familiar with the slightly advanced strategies. You're just revealing mines instead of revealing numbers, and the levels can be more abstract. The skill ceiling is probably a tad bit lower than sudoku, since all of the logic is broadcasted right at you, but edit: maybe not since the question marks exist; it's just in a different direction. Always a fun day, seeing minesweeper on the Aliensrock channel.

There is a nonogram twist that I adore: Hungry Cat Nonogram. Instead of having a single color where the numbers refer to the groups you have to paint, you have multiple colors that can be circled, meaning that that colored group is contiguous and not circled, meaning that the color must have another color in between. The game has lots of grids, but every Tuesday, they release a new challenge grid composed of 9 grids as 3x3. I've been playing it since 2014 and it is still my favorite. I highly recommend it, even if it is a mobile game.

the editing on this episode is PHENOMENAL. highlighting what Tyler is talking about makes it very easy to follow along, which can be difficult given how fast he is at minesweeper logic!

Dude I fucking love minesweeper variants

I would love to see Tyler play Bombe. It's a game where you write the rules for the game to solve minesweeper puzzles. The UI is not great, but once you settle into the method it's a lot of fun to think about generalizing the rules you know but cannot articulate.

I love playing the various Picross games and enjoy the minesweeper vids so this is gonna be a good series.

Tyler, I think I love these types of puzzles too, now that you’ve introduced me to them. The elegance of logic is astounding.

Notation wise, it would be SO MUCH CLEARER if "?" meant a single unknown for column and row and "¿?" meant two different unknowns, one for the column and one for the row

I love nonograms so much! So happy to see it mixed with minesweeper

11:00 im SO glad to see someone else does this trick!

I had never really played Minesweeper because I didn’t like the guessing, but I got very into Hexcells after seeing your video on it a couple years ago. I remember struggling to follow the logic back then. This game seems so similar, but now I can keep up lol

I LOVE NONOGRAMS, I LOVE MINESWEEPER, I LOVE ALIENSROCK, AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN PUT TOGETHER. This day can't get any better.

There's something extremely therapeutic about listening to Tyler logic his way through the mines.

my favourite version of these kinds of games is Hexcells, hexagons are the bestagons

nonogram games are underrated and need more love

This came out right as I was rewatching old minesweeper videos so glad

I never gave much attention to minesweeper, so i always sucked at it, but I LOVE picross, so this games is actually making me learn about minesweeper while being entertaining as hell. Great video!

Dude I could listen to this man ramble about Minesweeper for hours like an ASMR playlist

My god I can finally follow the logic in one! Plus your editor is genuinely amazing at making these easily understandable as well as entertaining. Keep up the amazing work!

Ooh, I love nonograms. Finally a puzzle type that I can follow along without being completely lost.

This was the collab I never knew I needed thank you so much Tyler

Editors are geniuses for being able to understand Tyler. Helped a dumbass like me understand too! Seagulls' "mine" was gold.

Watching Tyler delve into nonograms, which are one of the puzzles I specialise in, is very entertaining! It's fun to see how someone else logics out certain "rules" differently from you!

as somebody who loves minesweeper and nonograms, I see this as an absolute win

minesweeper evolutions that get more cursed

Your Minesweeper videos are some of the most satisfying you make, please continue!

bro thank you for finding this. my two go to games are minesweeper and nonograms. a game that combines them is *chef's kiss*

Hey Tyler, I know two minesweeper game I think people would enjoy playin, for normal minesweeper you have globesweeper, for many variants you have globesweeper: hex puzzler, both of which cost less than 5 dollars COMBINED, and hex puzzler I think fans would really enjoy.

PLEASE KEEP DOING VIDEOS OF THIS GAME

Would love to see more of this. Your mine sweeper like videos are some of my favorite

Nonograms and minesweeper are my two favourite puzzle types. Dream game

God I love minesweeper It's the puzzle version of the process of elimination and the logic is just so fun

I do actually love nonograms but hate minesweeper. This game looks amazing though as it almost feels more like an expansion on nonograms and less like minesweeper.

I love that, minesweeper is one of my favorite games of all time and anything new related with it is amazing news

This is just Hexcells, but square. The rules all got moved over to this new format. I'm excited to see where it goes!

Voltorb flip baby! We’re back!

It's satisfying seeing 2 different games merge into 1 game

Defo up for seeing more of this on KZread!

I love minesweeper, I love nonogram.. seems like a game for me !

14:28 “that would piss off the 3” 😂

it's like voltorb flip, but actually fair! (logic in that game only gets you so far, even a computer can't solve them even like 80% of the time)

The editing in this is exquisite

Got to love that both you and Icey puzzles posted a minesweeper video today

never messed with nonograms, so you making leaps in logic and speeding through these puzzles left me in the dust on multiple occasions, but I caught up in the end. really cool concept

Two games of my favourite! I am so looking forward to this series!!!

i love this puzzle type, had to do it in an escape room a few years back and it's honestly so fun

I love both minesweeper and nonogram. Thank you Tyler for showing this game! Will definitely check the game out

9:12 quick correction, there must be one cell unique to the two, but there can be 1, 2, or 3 cells unique to the 1. Heck, for generalizations sake we can say there can also be 0 cells unique to the 2 and it would still technically work.

This is one of those puzzlers where you just hear the concept and immediately realize how clever it is

Picross is my favorite puzzle seeing it mixed with minesweeper is amazing

using the pen to determine what blocks NEED to be in a row was a mindblower for me now picross is way funner

Enjoyed the hell out of this, I always love your minesweeper videos, they are so interesting to watch

I got into nonogram's and i still call the squares mines because of you

If I slow playback of this video down to 0.75x, Tyler's narration of his thought processes almost matches my own brain's clock speed.

5:59 Tyler's proof that this tile is a mine doesn't actually work, as he never considered that *both* of the horizontal 3s could be entirely to the right of it. In fact, it's possible to sketch an entire solution to the puzzle that does that... except that it breaks the ? ? row that he hasn't yet understood. He gets lucky though, because when he does figure what that clue means, it does result in him being correct, but not for the reason he thought.

These types of games are the best. Can't wait to see more of it

14 minesweeper variants 2 is also about to drop, now with irrational numbers

oh my god this is the crossover i NEEDED

This game is crazy and I love it

Minesweeper nonogram combo is genius. I def have to try this one out, this is why I love your channel so much you showcase such great games that I always end up loving to play myself

This is basically Tametsi, with the twist that numbers in the rows/columns are in a row

Oh hell yeah, it’s always a good day when tyler posts more minesweeper variant games. As someone who avidly plays both minesweeper and nonogram, this made me want to reach into the screen and play myself. Speaking of minesweeper variants, have you tried out Tetris Sweep on itch yet? I’ve been absolutely obsessed with it. I hope you like playing minesweeper and tetris at the same time

Always wanted to see a game that combined these mechanics!

One minute in and I can already tell the editors did a fantastic job on this one

I love this. I play nonograms at work and that's basically what this is but with minesweeper

Please continue, I finally understand your reasoning without much explanation for once bc I love monograms

Now there needs to be a game that combines this, Hexcells, Tametsi and some of 14 minesweeper variants

Really hope these videos perform wel because this is my favorite type of video. So cozy!

im okay at minesweeper but seeing you explain your logic makes me wanna get better at it thank you SO much for that lol

I would spend hours on the toilet/sofa/bed/office playing this on my phone

This is awesome, I regularly play nonograms so I can finally beat some of the puzzles before Tyler does!

the logic on this is so cool , i might have to pick it up for myself

This is a great game Love the explanations and the help of the editors

I agree with Tyler: these two kinds of games are great

Can't wait to see more if this game on YT

my favorite two logic games combined into a brilliant game? Count me in
