rohlfinator Posted December 31, 2015 These games are great -- I had also been dabbling with Pokemon Picross and this feeds the itch without having to deal with the F2P garbage. I'm almost through Hexcells Infinite and then on to SquareCells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had this page open from before and was about to go over it again -- it seemed like you were right. Then I refreshed just in case... So there were not two correct solutions?

rohlfinator Posted January 3, 2016 The ruleset of SquareCells felt more ambiguous at first, but now that I've settled in, I think it's become my favorite. Maybe it's just because I've internalized the tricks to Picross over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I even restarted when this didn't result in a mistake but solved something by accident for which I didn't have the solution yet. On the upside this sometimes led to finding other, nicer solutions or at least a great feeling of flow in cleaning out the early sections I still knew the solutions for. Fantastic games! I am another of those who cannot tolerate any mistakes in a level. I will admit that this lead to me screenshotting my progress once after a finger slip such as you describe though...

Erkki Posted July 9, 2016 Steam recommended me: Hook, LYNE, Mini Metro based on my Hexcells adventures. Anyone tried these? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zerofiftyone Posted July 9, 2016 Hook, LYNE and Sinker? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted July 10, 2016 LYNE is a real puzzle game like Hexcells, but I found it to become tedious quite fast. Mini Metro isn't much of a puzzle game, it's more of a survival game A battle against time to create working routes. It's a lot of fun. Did not play Hook.

Dewar Posted July 11, 2016 You can play an older version of Mini Metro using the unity webplayer at http://dinopoloclub.com/minimetro/ I like it, but never enough to buy the full version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rohlfinator Posted July 12, 2016 I'd recommend Hook -- it's not nearly as devious as *Cells, but it's a fun mechanic and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Totally worth the dollar if you're into this sort of game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beasteh Posted July 12, 2016 How about Hitman Go for a leftfield suggestion? It scratches the same itch as Hexcells for me. It doesn't go for out-and-out minimalism, but the aesthetic is still clean and bright, while the music is just as smooth and relaxed. Puzzles focus less on deducing the next move (although this is still important) and adds an element of forward planning. Fun puzzler, and the PC port is decent if you're wanting to play on the big screen. Maybe worth a look? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
