  • Want a cross between Minesweeper, Picross and more?
  • Polimines Deluxe is a new entry in Penguin Pop Games' Polimines series
  • Challenging players to work their brains like never before

Polimines Deluxe is a captivating new puzzle title from Penguin Pop Games that promises to challenge players' skills like never before. With elements of games like Minesweeper, Picross and Nonograms, Polimines brings the confusing, challenging and above-all logical game to the palm of your hand like never before.

As we said, Polimines is a mix between Minesweeper and Nonograms. The former is, of course, a classic game of deduction where you must detect where 'mines' are placed on a grid, flagging up suspected locations while opening blank tiles that may then start a chain reaction by opening more blank tiles. The latter is a simple space-filling game where you have to mark coordinates on a grid in order to build up a complete picture. 

Combining the two makes for an even more challenging, baffling yet...weirdly logical puzzle game.

Confused? So are we

Yes, Polimines is a confusing game, but it follows the logic of titles like Minesweeper to a 't'. So if you're looking for a compact yet challenging puzzle experience you could do a lot worse than this game. We'll be covering it more in-depth in the near future over on our YouTube channel, so watch this space...

In the meantime you can check out the trailer for Penguin Pop Games' recent entry, Polimines 2 below to give you an idea of what the game's about!

We shouldn't need to tell you that there are plenty of puzzle games out there on mobile. For a start how about box-stacking puzzler Sokoban Wizard? Which takes a classic Japanese game genre and puts it in the palm of your hand, with retro-style graphics.

Or, if you're looking for something to educate you on the finer points of the art while giving you only a slight challenge, the free-to-play title Please, Touch the Artwork 2 might be more your thing!
