If you think you've licked the classic Windows time-waster Minesweeper, try this free variant based on Nonogram logic puzzles. In Nonosweeper, each column and row of the grid is marked with numeric clues (the nonograms) as to which squares are safe, and which deadly. By correlating the clues in two dimensions, you can pick your way around the hidden mines. The effort is mind-bending, at least at first. After solving a puzzle, you can upload your score to the developer's Web site. The program offers three levels of difficulty, with grids ranging from 6x6 to 15x15 rows. The game's austere design won't win over puzzlephobes, but temps, goof-offs, and Minesweeper addicts everywhere have found a new friend.

Fun, but not for long

Summary
One Of My Favourites - I Just Love It
Old Dog New TricksDecember 31, 2011
Pros
- Simple In Theory, but can be so very frustrating
Cons
- Why don't they let you make the game size visually larger ?
Summary
Just a fantastic easy to learn - hard to crack - game. Just occassionally, you have to rely upon luck (at least, I do) but it's nearly always down to logic, which suits me just fine. It's such a pity that the author didn't spare thought for my tired eyes, and make the game size visually larger.
Crappy Game

Pros
Mental challenge, replay value
Cons
Basic puzzle, basic graphics, need more visual stimulation. Tried Gemsweeper at lobstersoft.com and found the same kind of gameplay with hot graphics
Summary
A fun variation of mine sweeper.

Summary
It's a real great game. Interesting Challenge for your brain :)
KrassFebruary 8, 2005
Pros
Nonosweeper is similar to the Windowsgame Minessweeper, but has been improved. You have to find mines, but where they are hidden is described by nonogrames. You are really good if you are able to solve "Hard". Try out!!! No waste of time.
Cons

There are only 24 hours in a day.

Developer's Description

By Simplism Games

Play Minesweeper in a completely new way using Nonograms.

Nonosweeper is a cross between the popular Windows game Minesweeper and the hidden-pictures logic puzzles known as Nonograms or Griddlers. Unlike Minesweeper, all the clues are given at the start and placed outside the grid, giving completely different gameplay - but the other rules are the same, so don't click on a mine or it's Game Over. You can upload your record times to an on-line database to see how you rank. An exciting new challenge for Minesweeper fans and Nonogram fans alike.
