Later on they get pretty insane. You're gonna get some that require multiple interactions. You're also going to encounter more like that last one, where you think it's really tricky but there's just a super-obvious clue your eyes keep passing over - especially on the larger maps.
I tend to have 3-4 points in his episodes where im like, nah you got lucky, your stated logic doesn't make sense there.... then I hop back 10 or 20 seconds to look at it closer and see his logic lol
Yeah and then at the last puzzle he's like "there's a lot of mines here let's go fast" and you notice that for the rest of the video he's been pausing to mouth every move he makes. Wtf
The little menu before/as you boot up the game let's you tweak some settings, including having the game "grey out" completed numbers. Just mentioning it since it might be better for viewers since it reduces some eye clutter. Personally for me I don't have a preference but I figure I'd mention it. Also figured I'd add that I love watching these. I'm 3/4 through Tametsi myself so I've already played these levels but it's still incredibly fun to watch you solve them.
Making numbers count down as you mark mines around them is another one that's quite useful imo. Avoids having to recount every time for larger numbers and can also help to avoid mistakes with different adjacency rules. The option to make gray cells work like any other color also makes more sense imo (i.e. display a gray bombs count instead of total bombs and give gray bombs a gray border instead of making them totally white). There are also some potentially useful shortcuts. Holding Ctrl shows cells that count as adjacent to the one you're hovering over. Probably not that useful though once you get used to it. But the drawing mode will become very useful later on in harder levels and Shift can be used to show drawings in non-drawing (i.e. solving) mode.
yeah i like puzzles and things like this and i get surprised how his logic works and how fast it is, in a good moment i would need like the triple of the time at least to do what he does
Tbf, its easier to solve it by yourself than following someone else's logic. Plus, he skips some thinking time He's still very smart and has all my respect
Here's a few things you should know (If you haven't found out about them already in a future episode) - The punishment system works just like classic Minesweeper. You can place flags anywhere, but if you left-click on a mine, you will get a message telling you to either reset or undo (Undoing is much faster, but the level number on the level selection screen will be white instead of blue) - There's a drawing tool covered by your facecam. You can use any color, but personally, I like to stick with black (to mark potential safe tiles) and white (to mark potential mines). You can use middle-click to erase. It becomes really useful in the later levels, where you have to make huge leaps in logic. - If you have a drawing, you can hold Shift (outside of drawing mode) to display it. - You can hold Ctrl while hovering over a tile to highlight all the neighbor tiles it.
you should look at playing squarecells, it's from the same devs as hexcells but has (in my opinion) far more interesting logic, especially in the later levels. a video on the last 6 levels would be very interesting and fun! :)
@@rasyidmystery6891 there are numbers on certain squares that tell you the size of the "island" they are on, and numbers outside the grid in {} that only tell you how many squares are in that row/column but not how they are grouped. it's the "island" rule that I found lead to the most interesting solves
I really enjoy watching your content. This was the first time I was screaming at the iPad “there’s a 1 in the last puzzle”. I’m glad you left that in the video. Iv’e been thinking you’re a puzzle savant with the speed in which you solve some of these things. Glad to know you’re human after all. 👍
Few helpful tips If you hold Shift, it shows your drawings, if you hold ctrl, it shows all the neighbouring tiles For later levels, i definitely recommend turning *all* the options on, as tile countdown is really useful for some of those later levels that have very weird tiling
I think I prefer seeing this game and Hexcells over Demoncrawl. Though it does seem to be a natural progression of Minesweeper->Demoncrawl->Hexcells->Tametsi
im so happy ur doing a series on minesweeper. Ive been playing ms for about a year (I have 14 seconds on intermediate) and this series could be great for growing the ms community!
@@janfal4252 we have 5D chess with multiverse time travel, therefore we shall not stop until we get a 5D minesweeper where you need to look for the adjacencies on different timelines
I have 100% this game... especially near the end it gets absurd both in terms of logical complexity and lengths of the puzzles :P while it is one of my favorite puzzle games of all time and I am glad to see it get attention on the channel, it'll be a bigger undertaking for youtube than even the likes of baba to go for completion. Eagerly awaiting more content for this game! and beware the tubes >:)
I used to play Minesweeper,didn't like it much, but now I feel like I would like it very much. It makes my brain think critically to solve puzzles, and I love puzzles.
13min in and I just figured out that there ARE cuts in this video... somehow this makes me very happy, I do not feel as stupid this way for barely beeing able to follow the explanations, god forbid figuring that stuff out myself
watching your videos give me ptsd flashbacks to college lectures. "oh this seems simple i am gonna take a look at my phone for a few seconds until we get to the harder stuff" i just unlock my phone and look back " how the f did we get here"
If you can find it (only been released on a niche BBS and maybe also the author's blog before), try 死兔, or Dead Rabbit, which is a "mine sweeper" that you walk to the goal without triggering any mines. That game was said to get rather deep later on, but I've never done solving most of the levels. Though IIRC people said that some of the levels are more meta than regular mine sweeper, since you have to teleport semi blindly to get to the goal
Watching this as a non-minesweeper player is the closest I think I've ever come to knowing what the party Barbarian feels like trying to keep up with the Wizard.
Seeing this video of minesweeper with weird shapes kinda reminds me of that map theorem about how no matter what you do, you can never make a map that requires more than 4 colors to paint every country a different color than all the countries touching it. Basically it makes me wonder if you could do a minesweeper variant based on that maximum of 4 shapes that are all mutually adjacent with each other.
I've been working on trying to 100% complete this game w/o guessing (which is INSANELY TOUGH for smoothbrained folks like myself, already trapped myself in a corner about 50% of the way in but whatever) and I was wondering when this was gonna arrive since I know you liked Hexcells - insanely happy that it did.
Hah, I've been doing the same after seeing recommendations for it in one of his Hexcells videos, completed the first 74 and its... rough. Rough is a good word. I have not touched the horrors that await me on the right, though...
You know, you could play Minesweeper on arbitrary graphs. Idea: Sudoku Minesweeper, where every cell tells you how many mines there are in its row, column, and box
For sure it'll be back. And I think spacing out his series make them more enjoyable. Like, "I've been waiting for another video of this series to come out!
ive played ktane way too much. At my prime, i had most of the manual memorized. I could even solve some bombs on my own lmao. I'd love to see how Tyler handles the game
My experience with this game is taking I think around 60 hours to flawless the first 100 puzzles then getting just completely bodied by the bonus puzzles. I’ve only been able to complete like 20 of those or something. They get reaaal tough
I was gonna head to bed after this video, but now I'm staying up til midnight to see if your next video is on this game as well lol. Been trying to find a good minesweeper-esque mobile game, anyone have suggestions?
Probably not dodecahedra, but minesweeper on a 3d surface could be cool. Could do just Pac-Man world, which represents a torus, where you have to consider the neighbors on the opposite side. Bonus if you could move the grid freely so you can get disoriented. Or an actual 3d surface where you have to drag and rotate to see it all.
You should check out a game about squares, it's a web puzzle game and it's short and sweet with a slight challenge. Nothing to do with minesweeper but I find it fun.
I've been hyped up to believe that this is the hardest Minesweeper-related game ever made. It better not let me down!
Something about this comment seems familiar

Tyler just breaking into someone's house and peeling up their fancy tile floors
"Floor inspector, just checking for mines"
"You're gonna put those tiles back, right?"
"...no..."
"My job here is done, no need to thank me."

@@Patashu I play tetris at a pretty high level, i can see the pieces in any square tile surface

"I am not fast"
Dude, I can't even follow in real time half of what you're doing. You definitely are fast.

If you commented saying Aliensrock should play Tametsi give yourself a pat on the back, we did it
I did! Very happy to see the real one played haha I'm too stupid to finish the hardest ones without guessing.
If only you knew you would be saying “i Wish more people just commented play Red Dead Redemption 2”.
The people commenting that Tyler should play Tametsi made *me* play Tametsi. Very good game, excited for the rest of this series.
Hey, that's me!
Next up picross
Been loving hexcells and this game looks great! Looking forward to more of it :)
Jesus christ I was just starting to be able to keep up with your Hexcells videos, and then you do this to me!! It is a great video, so it works out.
Being an Aliensrock viewer is like being a maths student if maths class wasn't boring
I think the most impressive part is the stream-of-consciousness explanation of your thought process.
this is like a weird amalgamation of like 5 different puzzle games, love it!
I think I prefer seeing this game and Hexcells over Demoncrawl.
Though it does seem to be a natural progression of
Minesweeper->Demoncrawl->Hexcells->Tametsi
I cannot keep up at all with the speed at which Tyler solves this so I'm just nodding along dumbly, but his voice is a nice thing to fall asleep to
Great that you're playing Tametsi. Just got into it myself and I'm looking forward to seeing you tackle some of the more evil levels.
your years of logic puzzles is showing. barely a second passes and your making connections without pause with each new input. well played

I can never play minesweeper puzzles the same after playing Demoncrawl because I'm so used to chording
regular minesweeper has chording, any minesweeper clone that doesnt is baffling lol
demoncrawl spoiled me too. having both kinds of chords just feels so natural and whenever I don't have them I feel amputated
I like being able to hear his thought process
This game looks awesome and it's really impressive to watch you absolutely crush it!

Oh good I just commented on a video about this a few days ago! THIS is the ultimate evolution of hexcells
I love and hate this because it makes my head hurt when I try to work it out myself

oooo another minesweeper like game
Felt so powerful when I realized he missed the obvious 1
My head legit hurts. Well, it hurt a bit before I started watching but I swear it's hurting a bit more now. A very interesting game though
this man is the god of mine sweeper
And I thought i was good at minesweeper. Tyler is so much faster when spotting possible solves.
This is way more interesting than Hexcells
Anyone know if Tyler's done/spoken anything with/about Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes?
ive played ktane way too much. At my prime, i had most of the manual memorized. I could even solve some bombs on my own lmao. I'd love to see how Tyler handles the game
You've been playing so many minesweeper games recently I think you should go to Bosnia play minesweeper irl
So much minesweeper, is this just a minesweeper channel now?
This is the Minesweeper arc of the Aliensrock youtube channel.
Tyler scares me
He is too smart
I love minesweeper and logic puzzle so this is perfect for me
Stop it Tyler you're running my wallet dry
LMAOOOO

Also plz play more
4:57 "and those 2 are not blue"
Idk why but i have to say it you are the best guy to watch when tripping on shroom i love your videos and the music is really good for the trip too🍉🍉
Everybody gangsta until the cells are circular.
It takes me like half an hour to do one minesweeper map and then fail at the end
waiting on 3d minesweeper... someone who makes games make it happen
"let's go a bit faster" oh that wasnt full speed
I dont know if you saw it or not but it says the name of the level in the bottom left corner.
Bought this game after watching this video. It's really good!
This is crazy, but I also love it!
I know I'm a little slow but I can't be the only one getting a headache trying to keep up with this
In the thumbnail, only the bottom 3 are safe unless the greys that are not connected count as well.
This puzzle its so complex omg
Imma have to watch this video in half speed to keep up
This is so obvious Im suprised this hasnt been made sooner!
Cool game, and sadly I'm not before one minute.
You'd enjoy Globesweeper. Basically, minesweeper, but spherical, and with either hexagons, squares, or triangles, in increasing order of difficulty.
I was screaming about that 1 lmao
It's 1am Tyler, why do you do this to me
I was gonna head to bed after this video, but now I'm staying up til midnight to see if your next video is on this game as well lol.
Been trying to find a good minesweeper-esque mobile game, anyone have suggestions?
my brain feels smooth
Dodecahedrons.
That's a twelve sided die.
3D minesweeper when?
The mines just being colored white like that seems a bit hard to visually keep track of but otherwise this also looks pretty neat!
ooh this seems interesting, but gonna break my brain if i play it; i havent even finished hexcells series yet lol

Word of the day: Tesselation
I kinda wanna see him play voltorb flip
2 years ago Tyler looks more nerdy
Whoever decided that in some levels corners should not be adjacent should be put to death
you should check out non-euclidian minesweeper... not as complex as these type of puzzles, but still lots of mind fucks
Good lord some of these mechanics are from picross!
You are thinking in enchanting table 😳😳😳
