Hi, thanks for posting these!

the line crossing game I enjoyed a lot :)

minesweeper - do you have sound effects/an icon for the mine when you hit it?

knight's tour boards were symmetrical enough that I didn't enjoy them - lots of repeating work once you've found one of the pieces

Jormungandr i was having fun with, but at some point i couldn't find any new houses, and while I enjoyed venturing out into the open waters initially, I got tired of it after a while. not being able to turn while in the water was a little unsatisfying also (but i wouldn't have minded had i finished the game).

Is it actually possible to get to the lower left island and complete Jormungandr, or am I missing something obvious? I'm looking at the map and it seems like the only straight shot there at max length (+11) is down from this flange here:


But there's no way to get there?

Some lines were meant to be crossed
That was a nice, quick puzzle.  It's well implemented.

Minesweeper Demake
This feels broken to me.  It took me a while to realise it only measured in four directions, not 8.  Also, hitting a mine wasn't clear to me.  I thought the game had crashed.

A Knight's Tour
I enjoyed the idea behind the puzzles, but it didn't hold my attention for some reason. The rooks were a nice addition.  Maybe a better control scheme would work.  Just use the arrows and have them alternate 2-steps, 1-step.  Just as you pre-validate the squares you can go, you can expand that to prevent 2-step moves that couldn't be completed.

Jomungandr
I really enjoyed this.  I found the limited vision quite constricting.  I had to rely on trial and error a lot to find neighbouring islands.  I found (after looking at the map) that it's impossible to reach the last island in the south-west.  It looks like a required stepping stone is slightly out of alignment.  I'd like to see this one through!  :-)

Are you supposed to be able to cross lines this way, or is it unintended?

I noticed that trick too, but it doesn't make a difference.  It's no different to crossing one line then the other.  There's always enough space to do that without restricting movement.

possible spoiler: isn't it required for some of the later levels?

There should never be a case where you need that much space.  If you do, then you can probably move part of your earlier track out of the way.

When I played it, I beat the whole thing without using any corners.

It took me several rounds to realize that this Minesweeper clone only counts mines orthogonal to the numbered tile. After that, I beat it a few times. I wonder if it's possible to generate a Minesweeper puzzle that is guaranteed to be solvable? Sometimes you get situations where you have to guess. http://i.imgur.com/zXdL5hr.png

No, they're all beatable without using the corners.

Yeah, you're right, there is supposed to be an extension there. I'm so sorry! Do you want me to post a fixed version?

post a fixed version!
(protip - here's how you can change a game without getting a new url (doesn't work on existing URLs not made this way though):
)
