qqwref | Beating carykh's Minesweeper Variants @qqwref2 | Uploaded January 2021 | Updated October 2024, 39 minutes ago.
In 2016 youtuber Cary Huang (carykh) made a version of Minesweeper with many different variants. The video is at youtube.com/watch?v=GZAm6Pt9jOg, and the game can be found here: htwins.net/minesweeper
In this video I beat all of those variants on Expert difficulty, except for Horiz which requires an unrealistic amount of luck. I did these games from January 6th to 11th. They're ordered based on my best time on video. These times are all beatable, but I think they should generally be pretty decent.
00:00 Normal in 58.01
01:06 Hexagon in 1:16.48
02:28 No Up in 1:34.35
04:07 Orth in 1:52.14
06:06 Pawn in 2:00.00
08:15 No Vert in 2:08.89
10:33 Doubled in 2:20.30
13:00 Far Orth in 2:21.60
15:30 Taxicab in 3:06.26
18:46 Doubhex in 3:16.78
22:11 Diaghex in 3:28.95
25:46 Knight in 3:36.84
29:29 Swath in 13:36.84
Notes: Orth takes quite a bit of luck to finish. Pawn has a free bottom row, but still involves some 50-50 guesses. Doubled and other variants with higher-valued squares involve some arithmetic but usually have fewer guesses. Far Orth surprisingly allows a theoretical Expert completion rate of over 70%. Swath is very hard to finish! (and I'm sorry for the video error in the bottom right)
