Our take on Globesweeper
A single mine reveal detonates the entire globe and forces a restart, making each decision consequential across the board.
What is Globesweeper?
Globesweeper adapts Minesweeper to spherical boards.
Numbers on revealed tiles show how many adjacent tiles contain mines; blank tiles indicate zero. Use those clues to identify safe tiles and mark mines. Revealing a mine detonates the globe and restarts the game. Boards use hexagonal, square, or triangular tiles, with 5 globe sizes and 4 difficulty settings. The smallest hexagonal globe has 92 tiles, while the largest triangular one has 20,480. Traditional play can require deduction or guessing; guaranteed-solvable mode avoids the need to guess. Achievements unlock 14 themes, and the game includes 120 global scoreboards.
