## What is Mine Sweeper NEXT?

Mine Sweeper NEXT is a game that adds special rules to the standard Minesweeper.

Just like in regular Minesweeper, the numbers on the tiles indicate the number of bombs in the adjacent tiles, including those diagonally connected.
The goal of the game is to open all the tiles without stepping on a bomb, using these numbers as clues.

Mine Sweeper NEXT offers a variety of stages, each featuring unique additional rules.
For example, some stages follow a rule where bombs are never adjacent to each other, while others display only whether the number of bombs is even or odd instead of showing the exact count.
By considering both the standard Minesweeper rules and the special rules for each stage, you can logically solve the puzzles.

Furthermore, every puzzle in Mine Sweeper NEXT is designed to be solvable through logic alone.
Even if a puzzle seems difficult at first glance, careful consideration of the revealed numbers and additional rules will allow you to clear it without relying on luck.
There are also challenging high-difficulty puzzles—so put your logical thinking to the test and take on the challenge!

自発的にレビューを書きたいと思ったのはこのゲームが初めてかもしれません。
このゲームのすごいところは、変則ルールを考える面白さもあるのですが
何よりもまず論理的に考えたら必ず解けると言う点が良いです。
PCの例のマインスイーパーだとどう考えても運要素だった部分が…まさか残りの爆弾数も数えるのに意味があるとは…
頭の体操にピッタリのゲームです！
強いて悪いところを挙げるなら、タダゲーなので広告が少し…と思うくらいですかね
