No and sometimes. You know that the middle dark 3 above you has a 2 and the light 4 means that 2 can only be North or Northwest from the 3. The middle dark 4 above the light 4 only needs a 1 and it can't be West of the light 4 because the dark 3's last 1 is either West or East from it. So West of the light 4 is empty. This means that the last 1 for the middle dark 4 is West from it so North and Northwest from the middle dark 3 above the middle dark 4 is also empty. Which means that the last 1 for the middle dark 5 is Northwest from it. This means that there is a 1 below the left of the 2 light 3's. Depending on the numbers revealed you might now have to chance it!
Yeah, technically speaking, there should never be a situation where you have to guess. That was definitely a tricky one to work out though.
Wow, I'm surprised about this game still being on the list of popular Minesweeper games (but I have to say, I do still find it fun myself!) Thank you for playing and commenting! 🙂
Hey, sorry if I wasn't clear, there's been no update for multiple years. 😄 I was just explaining how the game does check if the board is solvable without guessing randomly, but it can still be hard to follow the logic you'd have to use to work it out. (But that's why we put multiple lives, so it's okay to guess or try something out!)
Ohhh okay, it all makes sense. Nothing changed about the game itself but I tweaked the description and tags on the itchio page while I was looking at it, so that must be what it’s tracking.
I love the design and the more difficult turn on the classic minesweeper. I may or may not have played it every time I procrastinated or needed a break since it came out

You got me obsessed with this game for 3 days until I finally got a full level clear
(I feel very proud and needed to tell someone)
I guess this is an allowable board because I can still access the stairs even if I can't clear all the dark tiles?
...
Edit: Also got one where there's inaccessible patches of darkness, surrounded all by traps, but I've reset enough. Continuing.
Yep all boards have a path to the stairs, but it's possible to have inaccessible patches of darkness.
This particular map had a path forward
Ooh, good thinking!
Congrats on being the 7th most popular Minesweeper on-site, even 5+ years on! Wish there was a reset button so I could no-damage easier.
This seems like I need to guess? Should that happen?

Oh, you updated it? I was wondering if Trapsweeper speeding up when travelling far was new! Nice!
Got to Floor 4 at last, before making my first mistake! Took me a reread of things to understand the tile colors!
EDIT: Or maybe the big change was what happens when stepping on a empty space.

Thanks! It was just that the "More Information" section says, as of this writing, "Updated 12 days ago", so I was wondering what changed.
