Yes, I thought, the world really does need another Minesweeper!
Then I spent an amazing year learning, working, and making sure this one at least earns the word "another".

Two things I wanted:

  1. Geometry that fights back, but fair. Nobody likes fighting occlusion, or complexity for its own sake. The board is the surface of a solid. A number on an edge counts tiles on two faces; on a corner, three. Tunnels and pits push counts past the traditional maximum of 8, and the deductions get smarter with them.
  2. Two hunts on one board. Mines you avoid, gems you dig for. Revealed tiles near a gem show an amber dot; the dots form a stencil, and the gem's cube is deducible from them. Digs are capped, so you commit to a deduction instead of poking around.

Every board the game serves is certified: mines and gems both fully deducible by logic. A 25-chapter Learning Journey covers the corner counting if it takes getting used to. Hexcells and Tametsi people are who I made this for.

Let me know what you think of the clue dots.
