2023-12-23	Ad*****	It's hexagonal minesweeper with a much more chill vibe and doesn't end on a mistake. Ads are unobtrusive and rare, unlike most games. Being a hex rather than square grid means you have to guess more on denser fields, but since the game doesn't end on a mistake you can just guess and keep going even if you guess wrong. It's a simple puzzle game that doesn't try to be anything else and fixes all my annoyances with normal minesweeper.
