12:00 As someone who’s also completely self taught on Nonograms, hearing someone else use the exact same logic lines ive constructed for myself gives me immense satisfaction. This game seems like a gift from God directly to my computer, and i cant wait to spend 500 hours on it!
It is very satisfying to me to actually be able to follow what he is doing without thought for once due to a chunk of picross knowledge
I love to give myself immense satisfaction to Tyler's videos too
I was surprised when tyler started to explain the subtraction method at 10:45 . I completely figured this one out by myself and didn't know it was a rule! Nonogram is actually pretty great for keeping your mind in check :D
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
yo same
i just tried picross puzzles until i found strategies and it's super cool that he's using the same methods
That's my game! Thank you so much for the video, glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect combination imo. Love both of these games, putting them together was a stroke of genius!
Quick question: at 3:03 the 2 at the bottom left doesn't make sense does it?
@@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.
Pokemon did it first. Voltorb Flip. xD
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
I blame Tyler for getting me into Minesweeper and i blame him for furthering my enjoyment of the genre when he brings a new game about it on the channel !
Same, some of my favorite games of all time now are Tametsi and Hexcells, and i have even more wishlisted
@@cceli6382i love both of those but i play 14 minesweeper variants more often
Hey editors, if you read this, you're doing a so amazing job, for half of the video I forgot that the green squares are done by you and not actually part of the game, yet showing Tyler's thought process so clearly
You guys definitely deserve some love
Holy. I don't read comments until after the video and I was certain that the green and slightly off orange were because of like a right click menu in the game. The editors are crazy
@@R1ddle what do you mean? the tile highlights are in the game
@@megamech2268the fully green tiles yes, the squares outlining, purple, red, etc arent, its the editor's.
Oh this is delightful
Reminds me of a more fleshed-out version of the Voltorb Flip minigame of Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver
dude no joke i think ive played more voltorb flip than soulsilver itself
I liked that minigame but it always felt like it had some guessing, more then an average game of minesweeper. I'm not sure if my feeling is true or if there was some hidden logic that I never figured out as a kid.
@@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
@@Typhlosion952cause voltorb flip is an actual gambling game, most of the times you're betting on different chances
@@Typhlosion952 Yes, there was some elements of luck where you'd get 50/50s, but it was supposed to also represent some gambling. Sometimes the correct play was to just take the pot and run. It was a game of chance where you actually had a solid way to impact the game through skill.
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
Woah. Another minesweeper variant. With so many variations of the original, there are so many Aliensrock videos just waiting to be made.
That’s what I was thinking. I finished watching hexcells a couple months ago.
Tyler makes great content. The Editors make great content. Together they are unstoppable!!!
A combination of Minesweeper and Nonogram... The two puzzle that took up hours of my time... Sounds perfect!
It is so fun hearing Tyler explaining stuff about nonnograms that I struggled to learn at first on my own
10:44 I was gonna explain that strategy in a comment since I thought it was a unique one I thought up, but good to see I was not alone in my thinking. Great explanation and visuals!
same! I thought I was super smart for finding that out lol
every minesweeper vid you put out just makes me want to go back and play every version/variant of minesweeper I've ever played, what a great game
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.
People didn't watch those for very long! Maybe they could return via stream?
@@Aliensrock Maybe the same could be said about tametsi? I'd love to see you finish the game
@@salty2382Tametsi had some gorgeous logic in it. I want a sequel so bad.
@@Scuuurbs yeah, I have like 40 hours in tametsi and still haven't finished it lol
@@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!
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
As a picross enjoyer, this is rather satisfying to watch, particularly after having picked up on quite a lot of strats
huge agree, Tyler always making me want to slowly drain my wallet with banger puzzle games
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
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!
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. :)
I love playing the various Picross games and enjoy the minesweeper vids so this is gonna be a good series.
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.
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.
Tyler, I think I love these types of puzzles too, now that you’ve introduced me to them. The elegance of logic is astounding.
There are 5 comments, CZcams, why won't you show me them then?
You are not worthy
The prophecy has not yet been fulfilled.
Its a canon event
You must prove yourself
it is not your time
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.
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
bro thank you for finding this. my two go to games are minesweeper and nonograms. a game that combines them is *chef's kiss*
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!
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.
11:00 im SO glad to see someone else does this trick!
I love nonograms so much! So happy to see it mixed with minesweeper
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!
I love that, minesweeper is one of my favorite games of all time and anything new related with it is amazing news
i love this puzzle type, had to do it in an escape room a few years back and it's honestly so fun
Dude I could listen to this man ramble about Minesweeper for hours like an ASMR playlist
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
Would love to see more of this. Your mine sweeper like videos are some of my favorite
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!
my favourite version of these kinds of games is Hexcells, hexagons are the bestagons
Ooh, I love nonograms. Finally a puzzle type that I can follow along without being completely lost.
Nonograms and minesweeper are my two favourite puzzle types. Dream game
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)
There's something extremely therapeutic about listening to Tyler logic his way through the mines.
I LOVE NONOGRAMS, I LOVE MINESWEEPER, I LOVE ALIENSROCK, AND THEY'VE ALL BEEN PUT TOGETHER.
This day can't get any better.
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
This was the collab I never knew I needed thank you so much Tyler
Picross is my favorite puzzle seeing it mixed with minesweeper is amazing
Dude I fucking love minesweeper variants
PLEASE KEEP DOING VIDEOS OF THIS GAME
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.
God I love minesweeper
It's the puzzle version of the process of elimination and the logic is just so fun
I love both minesweeper and nonogram. Thank you Tyler for showing this game! Will definitely check the game out
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.
Editors are geniuses for being able to understand Tyler. Helped a dumbass like me understand too!
Seagulls' "mine" was gold.
I love this. I play nonograms at work and that's basically what this is but with minesweeper
14 minesweeper variants 2 is also about to drop, now with irrational numbers
Combining two games I really like to do when bored. I like it. Now, if they just added sudoku to this, it would be the trifecta! :D
nonogram games are underrated and need more love
This is one of those puzzlers where you just hear the concept and immediately realize how clever it is
This is basically Tametsi, with the twist that numbers in the rows/columns are in a row
My favorite Picross/Nonogram of all time is Picross 3D (DS game). Having a third dimension plus the tools being a chisel and a paintbrush was really fun and this game kinda adds a second layer of clues with the numbers and ? at the middle, so I might check it out.
Two games of my favourite! I am so looking forward to this series!!!
putting this comment at 3:07 time stamp. with these kind of games, i am worried that we will never see an animation for a wrong move or a bomb, or whatever the developer intend to happen, since he always does everything right :x
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 got into nonogram's and i still call the squares mines because of you
Enjoyed the hell out of this, I always love your minesweeper videos, they are so interesting to watch
as somebody who loves minesweeper and nonograms, I see this as an absolute win
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
This game is crazy and I love it
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.
using the pen to determine what blocks NEED to be in a row was a mindblower for me now picross is way funner
It's satisfying seeing 2 different games merge into 1 game
I don't even know what is genuinely part of the game and what was done by the editors 😅
Good job as always!
And another, who is excited to use their next couple of days/ weeks to play only this game? (assuming there is enough content in it)
Reminds me a lot of Mine of Sight, a flash game that got ported to a mobile app. had a lot of intuitive rules and even had a randomly generated mode upon finishing all the levels.
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
Now there needs to be a game that combines this, Hexcells, Tametsi and some of 14 minesweeper variants
14:28 “that would piss off the 3” 😂
This is awesome, I regularly play nonograms so I can finally beat some of the puzzles before Tyler does!
This is just Hexcells, but square. The rules all got moved over to this new format.
I'm excited to see where it goes!
One minute in and I can already tell the editors did a fantastic job on this one
Your Minesweeper videos are some of the most satisfying you make, please continue!
Reminds me of Hexcells.
Basically the same concept, except with hexagons instead of squares.
If you haven't tried them there are 3 games in the series: Hexcells, Hexcells Plus, Hexcells Infinite. Would recommend.
I agree with Tyler: these two kinds of games are great
Always wanted to see a game that combined these mechanics!
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.
He should finish Tametsi, it has absolutely beautiful puzzles!
I love minesweeper, I love nonogram.. seems like a game for me !
Please continue, I finally understand your reasoning without much explanation for once bc I love monograms
i love picross so much!!! what a great combination of games!
my favorite two logic games combined into a brilliant game? Count me in
the logic on this is so cool , i might have to pick it up for myself
oh my god I'm addicted to nonograms, finally a puzzle game that I understand 😅
Defo up for seeing more of this on CZcams!
Picross/nonogram is one of my favorite types of puzzles
immediately gave me the idea of hidden bombs outside the play area that are never revealed. so you could have like an 8 or a 6 on the edge and youd have to use logic to determine where the real bombs are based on where the fake bombs could be, like the 2 1 logic.
This is a great game
Love the explanations and the help of the editors
