Minesweeper, But The Numbers Aren't What You Think!

[@Khaim.m]

Editor is doing a great job with the quiet red highlighting. It looks like it's part of the game until you realize that it's psychically responding to Tyler as he talks.

yes minesweeper battle two people have small minesweeper boards first to beat a board adds another mine to the other, boards increase in x for the new boards then y for the new boards then repeat for every win if you hit a mine you lose 5:00 timer if nobody loses whoever has a higher score wins. non-mines clicked = +1 point, correctly flagged mines = +2 points, incorrectly flagged cells = -3 points, board completed = +((0.5*boardCells)moduloFloorOrWhateverIdk), if it's a tie it's a tie, also add a ranked mode to fairly battle

yoooo tyler referenced CTC in this vid, that's sick! I've seen so much audience overlap between the channels, it makes me wonder if some 2 or 3 person puzzle game collab vid could ever happen

Jesus, the Negation rule is mind-bending. It takes an entirely different kind of logic to solve, it hurts my brain... meanwhile the Cross rule is just like regular Minesweeper to me.

[@chips3384]

[@BurstFlare]

There is just something really entertaining about watching you solve puzzles. You're observant, you catch onto things quickly, and you're good at recognizing when to change gears when needed.

[@estrelagalaxia3869]

This is a fantastic series to dive into so many different logical sequences and thoughts

[@moofurg]

They’re not lying, they are just answering a different question.

[@crazymonkey6001]

Tyler not even bothering with the 5x5 puzzles makes me laugh, and cry

[@Cinnamon_Shaey]

I love these videos, even tho it shows how dumb I am as I have no clue how to even begin to understand even when explained to me, to i still think it's amazing to see Tyler's brain at work, simple a beautiful mind

[@corbinfreeman8958]

[@annonamis]

I love the mutual call out between cracking the cryptic and alienrock. Feels so fun

[@emilycurtis766]

In this video we see Aliensrock begin to develop a megamaniacal streak as he starts to proclaim square after square of territory as his own. When will someone stand up to this menace?

[@SpireFool]

I'll watch every series from you, but I must admit I crave for more Potionomics.

[@laytonspuzzle]

Your drawing convention always messes with my head bc I always mark safe squares with X's and mines with dots and fate somehow decided that you would do the exact opposite

[@Malaphor2501]

Would love to see more of this, even a year later.

[@SlowUnpacking]

I've seen all these rules in recent sudoku's. It's really smart to look at other puzzles and see if you can improve your own puzzles that way!

[@marcosruim9292]

I'm too stupid to understand this first variation, but I loved the video

10:00 - 10:15 Trust me Tyler, Mario Party has taught me that all too well.

[@SuperDZ555]

it's so stressful seeing him click the spaces individually when he can just click the number the spaces surround

[@DijonFromage]

I think that first one broke my brain. I don't know how you do these, but I enjoy watching them even if I have to go have a lie down afterward...

[@Blatant.Obscurity]

I'm loving both this and the LBAL update but I'm hoping for more potionomics soon

[@user_hat]

You know it's serious when he busts out the multiple colors also I've given up on trying to get aliensrock to play the rest of the 150 extra levels

[@Ghiaman1334]

Man, that first rule breaks my brain, I can't comprehend the lying negation one.

[@WanderTheNomad]

The key word to keep in mind is "sums". If there's a 0, it's either 0 - 0, or 1 - 1, or 2 - 2. Then with all the other numbers you just tip the scale towards one of the colors so they match the number. Kinda like the "health bar" in Inscryption. If you've dealt 1 damage to your enemy and they deal 1 damage to you, no damage has been taken by anyone. Except here it's mines in black and white squares.

[@unlivingskunk]

That fucking 4 edit was gold

[@lachlanmcleod392]

[@happyhafer1403]

...what happened to this series? the playlist ends here. there should still be a few more variant left.

[@EpsilonRosePersonal]

I think this has some of the most inventive minesweeper rules I've seen. The snake one seemed fun, but the difference one felt absolutely mind breaking, and I think that's the first time I've felt that way about one of these games. The cross one, if anything, seemed tame, since Hex Cells has its area and linear clues. Regardless, I'm definitely looking forward to more of this series.

Imagine showing someone who just beaten minesweeper this, and telling them "Level 2."

i wish you would change the un-revealed cells color so its easier to tell what hasnt been marked/cleared yet. and for that matter, not clicking the (completed) number itself to auto-fill out obvious stuff, like clearing zeros pains me a lot.

[@fahlgorithm]

Hey, have you considered playing pokémon emerald rogue at all? I'm not sure how well it would fit your channel but I've been having a ton of fun with it. The gym fights are super hard and you can kind of treat them like a puzzle.

[@WanderTheNomad]

I know there are youtube channels that play Pokemon, but I can't imagine Tyler doing it unless he was sponsored or something. Not to say that he would hate it, just that it seems a bit far removed from the general content of his channel.

[@fahlgorithm]

@@WanderTheNomad That is totally fair. The emerald rouge rom hack is a totally different beast than any other kind of pokemon content though. It would be really interesting to see him take on the game. It's a bit of a stretch I know.

[@ReddPandda_]

i have litteral tears, i paused the video to try to solve it one square and it took my 5 minutes, and then press play and he solves it in like 5 seconds....

[@ry524rd9]

In 12:30 you said that it is not a mine because there is 7 remaining and you counted 8. But if the bottom right corner wasnt a mine, couldnt it be actually these 7 mines in the shape you drew? Or should the snake touch the corner or something? I mean if it had to, you probably would have put a flag over the bottom right corner already so idk if im just dumb XD. Can someone explain this to me, thanks a lot.

[@WanderTheNomad]

Then the 3 in the bottom right would remain unfulfilled.

[@illusionist1872]
