    I tried to make this video as viewer-friendly as possible - making my cursor the largest possible size and explaining the logic more slowly to make it easier to follow along. Let me know what you think!

    Picross plus minesweeper but with hexagons instead of squares is a very odd genre that works a lot better than you'd expect.

    Misclicking like this is my most hated part of playing Hexcells. I am such a perfectionist that if getting 1 mistake like that means I don't get all points for the level, I will make myself do it over again. I have to pay just as much attention to not misclicking as I do to logically deducing these puzzles.

    • @luziferius3687
      @luziferius3687 2 роки тому +5

      I think it allows a certain number of miss-clicks, before lowering the score from “perfect” to “completed”. So if your own goal is “only” a perfect score on the game’s level overview, you can afford a few misses per level. If your _own_ OCD or whatever forces you to have a zero in the mistakes counter when completing a levxel, you are on your own.

This is also really good as a viewer, as I can solve the puzzle (to an extent) in my brain while I'm watching, and see how long it takes you to notice it! Overall, killer video! Love it!!

      Yeah it's the latest in a series, Hexcells, Hexcells Plus, and Hexcells Infinite. There's two more subsequent logic games from the dev but they're based on squares. Can definitely recommend them though especially infinite since it has a random gen, daily, and user made puzzles.
