Thanks for 500k :)

Tyler, a cool feature in many minesweeper games is that, if you click a number while it is satisfied (e.g. a 3 with exactly 3 flags around it), it will dig all other tiles that the square "sees", even with special rules like here! It's a nice QOL feature, even though it sometimes backfires, so I'd suggest checking if it's on this game too!

I fuckin love minesweeper I would buy 100 acres of land and build 20 landmines and hire someone to place them at randodm for me with numbers on trees just for the opportunity to play it in real life. I would deal crack and start a drug empire, and fake my death to get the money and safety to do this. I will play real life minesweeper.

I don't know whether you'll keep playing this game but if you do there is a cool feature; when you have 1 mine around a 1 already checked, the game and you click on said one, the game will automatically "clear" the nearby cells! :)

Your continual return to the minesweeper genre is honestly one of my favorite things about the channel. Love these types of games. And congrats on 500k!

14 variants will be another masterpiece by artless. Make sure to play on expert setting, that way you will always be sure you didn't make any mistakes.

I've seen lots of 'minesweeper variant collection' games in the past, but the very first variant in this one (Connected) I have never seen before in my life, so I'm already invested!

This video has opened my eyes to the possibility of curated minesweeper levels. I really enjoy the expertly set Sudoku puzzles on cracking the cryptic, but hate the computer generated puzzles you find in newspapers and books. This shows me that there's artistry to be found in minesweeper as well, and I don't think I will settle for less again

I love seeing your train of logic and how you articulate them. It's probably my favourite part about your puzzle game videos.

From the dev: It's a pity you didn't play the eviler column.

my brain is too smooth for this, you lost me on the first puzzle lmao grats on 500k big man

dude congrats on 500k, i knew you’d make it this far i just thought it would be sooner. i straight up thought you had a million subscribers when i first started watching your poly bridge videos just because how quality the content was and how confident you were. i think i speak for everyone of your subscribers when i say you are a true youtube legend❤️

Pretty sure there's a logic jump at the end, because only one of the corners is necessarily a mine. I'm pretty sure the idea is that with the 3 on top left, any configuration of mines ends in 2 in a row, meaning the tile on the right is never a mine

Damn, that last logic was pretty sweet. Using the rule that all boards are completable to decipher both corners have to be matching. I haven't seen it implemented as a rule, just as, "don't go pressing random squares, you can figure it out" lol

Is the logic at 9:06 really correct? I mean after placing the mine on the top, you could place one in the square below the 3 (and complete the 4). And then its enough to place a mine on either side of the 3 to connect the top one to all the other mines.

Just so you know, "next level" will always generate a pretty much entirely new puzzle with the same rules. You can do as many puzzles as you want of each type, but only one perfect clear is needed to move on.

I see Tyler playing minesweeper, I click. Easily some of my favorite content on the channel has come from minesweeper.

Oooh, I’ve been getting into minesweeper recently due to Tyler. This vid will be fun!

I think my favorite part of these minesweeper games is that even after I watch the video, I can still go and buy the game myself and play it because it doesn't really get spoiled like other puzzle games due to sheer volume

What I love about these videos is that alot of the time, Tyler shows me some big brain strategies/logic (at least big brain in the sense I would likely have never thought of some things) and it allows me to ever so slowly get better at puzzle-solving

I'm very surprised by this game. This game does not only automatically generating levels, but also that level is solvable and have to deeply think about the rules. Also, this game has the hint system. The hint guides you how to properly find out the next step using logic. Anyway, the thing I most liked is the expert mode. that mode forces you to clear a level without guessing, and if you click a tile that you cannot know about, the game *"AUTOMATICALLY RE-GENERATE ITSELF"* in order to make my guess wrong. I love it!

Nice job figuring these out so fast! Love your videos!

It's Fucking Wild. watching Him like, struggle for 5 seconds. And then one click doesn't blow him up and he sees the matrix.

I watch your videos every night before I sleep calms me right down for bed. Appreciate your work

23:30 this only determined that at least one of the bottom two were mines, not that they both were. Some logic you could do was that if the third cell of the second row (r2c3) was a mine it would eliminate two of the 4 spots for the three. The next thing would be to notice that both r3c1 and r4c1 eliminate r1c3, which is an already completed 2 that would eliminate r1c2. This forces both r1c1 and r1c3 to be mines, eliminating r1c4 and forcing the bottom two to be mines.

I'm trying to follow along and solve the puzzles with you but you just truck along at light speed... it's crazy!

Damn, Tyler's blazing through the first levels like a ferret on crack. I barely even played MineSweeper before, and that looked really impressive !

This is why I'm subscribed to Tyler. Fell in love with his puzzle-solving play. Damn man has brain.

Watching you do this is insane

Some of these remind me a lot of some Sudoku variants. They way you have to use the extra constraints to be the foundation for your logic on your next decision is great. Cracking the Cryptic is an excellent KZfaq channel with videos like what I mentioned. If you don't already know about them I think you'll find some of their video rather enjoying. I watching them a bunch during the pandemic.

Congrats on 500k! Well deserved

Congrats on 500k! 🎉

As someone who loves to do logic puzzles, mostly Sudoku and Star Battles, but on occasion some Slither Link or LITS or Aquarium Puzzles. I must say that this would be one of the games that's in my interests, so thanks Tyler for showing off this neat game. And one thing I have noticed is weird, a lot of the creators I watch are named Tyler...

This looks great

congrats on 500k!

12:30 who knew Tic Tac Toe would be able to help you play Mine Sweeper?😅.. I mean just look at it! Dose it not make you think of tic Tac toe?

Congrats on 500k!

Congrats on 500k Tyler!!

Yes more minesweeper!!! Fuel my minesweeper addiction you fed me since btd battle!

bro barely hopped in game and already cleary a weird mechanic level at max diff, give this man a challenge

Amazing problem solving skills!

I love this playlist (Watched it 1 year ago)

I can’t remember when I subed but I have never regretted it, would love to see one more play through of backpack hero there are some crazy whetstone builds I know you’d abuse it would be awesome

Minesweeper was so fun, I wonder when they’ll make Minesweeper 2?

Yesssssssss Aliensrock minesweeeeeprrrrrrrrr. Always gas

bro why are you so good at puzzles

Congrats on half a million!

I mean I understood maybe half (Being generous) of the game and still love the vid that speaks about the quality of the content

Wow I'm actually awake when he uploads for once

Tyler flexing his minesweeper skills Like I'm good but Tyler is just a diffeent breed

Super intense gameplay

ty aliensrock my brain is mush after watching this at 4am

I thought I was smart until I watched Tyler solve these puzzles at superspeed

i love this!

Yoooo, Artless is pushing out new games like hotcakes!

oh my god new artless game? i love understand and a=b (though i suck at the latter), im gonna have to pick this up.

I like your Christmas tree in the background, nothing compared to the red shades, but still quality.

Sorry to nitpick the thumbnail but there are at least six errors where The number on the tile does not properly show how many bombs around it that one you can see right away if you know where to look if you look all the way to the right in the middle there’s a two but I count three flags around it then if you go left that three has four around it and by that logic the next one over to the left that three also has four around it and then if you go up that for I am pretty sure I only Has three around it sorry about this rant I have a Reading and written language disorder so if it looks bad sorry

Minesweeper logic is my video game kryptonite

Bro Tylers voice when he is sick is actually pretty badass

Looks interesting

An oldie but a goodie.

This makes me want to revisit demon crawl

I was planning to search for minesweeper variants earlier today, then I see this video

when 15 minesweeper varients with multiboard time traveling

500k special!!!!!!

I’ve figured out why I hate triplet so much. Triplet, more than any other variant, contains situations where you gain information about a tile that isn’t in range of a numbered tile using information on a numbered tile. This encourages you to think “no matter what this tile is, that tile is a non-mine” rather than “if that tile is a non-mine, then that creates an illegal configuration.” This is because minesweeper typically expects you to orient yourself around the numbered tiles and to completely ignore the spaces not near a numbered tile. The result is picking up a habit that requires twice the notation and twice the headache to get the exact same amount of information. This habit might even follow you into the later variants, as it will still solve every problem without having to orient yourself around spaces not near mines. You can see this happen at 11:55

Take a shot every time Tyler says "Mine"

This seems like a fun game

I want to see you try out With in ‘DD Reunion’ thought it was fun and challenging more like a puzzle than the usual grind so right up your alley

7:46 "This is always a mine for connectivity purposes" War explanations be like:

He solves the field before i can even process my third click

This game has been lurking on my monitor for the past 6 months. It feels like I am always working on the game, yet I am far from completion.

Sounds like you'd be into Advent Minesweeper, which is basically a collection of minesweeper variants.

Minesweeper is a very cool game, it has the concept of superposition of quantum physics

Talking about Minesweepers have you played "mine in sight" really good game!

Neat I understood everything and nothing at the same time

Saw a four dimensional minesweeper on steam a while back, might be fun

I swear. I was using KZfaq’s 5 second rewind button and I pressed it a lot to go backwards and the only thing I heard was mine…mine…mine…

13:26 - The one time playing Connect Four is illegal.

What's the music used in the video? It's very chill, goes great with the video! But it doesn't play in-game, so I'm trying to figure out where to find it.

Hyperbolic minesweeper is a special mode in HyperRogue. You should try that!

I know it's not exactly related, but I write minesweeper solvers and I have the world record for solve speed. at least for a dissociated bot. I have a new version coming out in the next few days or weeks since I rebooted the project a few weeks ago and got relational solving and deep probability assessment for guessing. I'm very close now to theoretical max solve rate while clearing a board in 200ms average. 112ms is my current video recorded best. I'm working on the trainer now. it essentially uses the same reducing process you exhibit in the video... mostly. it catches patterns you'd have a much harder time with... my guessing needs a little work still. from a corner click my average guess is exactly 1:3. from an edge start my average is almost exactly 1:4. random middle start is like 1:3.6 or so.

18:22 windows xp noise

Yooooooooo 500k subs

9:15 What about the possibility of the setup that has mines at (1,3), (2,4) and (3,3) (from top left corner)? That would satisfy both 3 and 4.

Would be so funny if you'd do some long explanation with drawings of why there would not be a mine, just to eventually click on it and blow it up anyway

You are way too good at minesweeper wtf

9:14 actually, it could. If all 3 mines are orthogonall adjacent to the 3, with either the left or right square a non-mine, the top CAN be a mine.

Whenever you are in the mood for a live stream you should stream it on KZfaq it'd be fun to watch and if we can't show up we can have long videos to watch you

Time and time again Tyler has proved himself to have 200 IQ

Can someone explain the logic at 9:13? It seems erroneous to me. He says the three would complete, and invalidate the 4, but why can't he just have a greater than or less than shape completing both?

Randomly generated minesweeper is fun but hand-crafted ones feel smoother to solve

you can draw on the board and change color? That is perfect for a streamer to explain their reasoning!

i feel like i gain brain cells when watching tyler

i got a puzzle in triplet where only one cell was visible and it was a 4 right next to a corner while still touching the side and i have no idea how to solve that

we are finally back to tyler saying "this could be a mine and this could be a mine so this so this cannot be a mine" for 20 minutes straight

T for Triplet [new] T for Tic Tac Toe but you're your own opponent

Wait, this is how you play? My brain isnt made for minesweeper, it's for either Dicey Dungeons or kinetic sand.
