This game hits a very specific part of my brain. I've been obsessed with Minesweeper-style logic games since I was young. I went from normal 2D Minesweeper to 3D Minesweeper, then somehow to 4D Minesweeper, and after all that apparently the natural conclusion was to return to two dimensions again. Proverbs has that same wonderful quality where, after playing for long enough, you stop consciously thinking about every individual move. You look at the numbers. Your brain recognizes the pattern. Your hand clicks the correct place. Repeat. Eventually I get into a flow state where I'm barely consciously solving anything anymore. I'm just staring at numbers, listening to music, and gradually clearing more and more of the board. That's probably my favorite way to play it. It doesn't demand my full attention all the time, so it's perfect when I want to relax, put some music on, and give my brain just enough work to stay occupied. The little completed illustrations that gradually reveal themselves as you solve sections of the puzzle are also a nice touch. They give each completed area a small sense of reward instead of making the entire experience feel like clearing an abstract spreadsheet. If Sudoku and Minesweeper are the kind of games you can accidentally play for hours, this is dangerously easy to lose an evening to. I apparently lost almost 28 hours.

As a minesweeper fan, i really like this game, as its mostly just brainless clicking and the proverbs are funny. BUT i wish there was an option to turn off the aggressive zoom when using hint, it zooms in way too much and way too fast. i dont use it often but when i do, i feel the motion sickness coming

If you like Picross or any sort of puzzle game for your phone, that you use to pass time, you have to buy this. It's much better than any other in the genre, it has an unique blend of: interesting proverbs, beautiful pixel art and delightful instrumental music. In theory, it should become boring as this contains dozens of hours of gameplay and the puzzles don't really change. However what changes is you and the patterns you recognize. The more the time passes, the more you feel like Neo when he sees the matrix code. You start to solve puzzles quickly, you are in the flow, you are one with the numbers now.

I'm going to recommend this to puzzle lovers. The game plays very smooth and looks great! The puzzle mechanics are fun to figure out. The proverbs and the artwork are a nice touch. And some of the songs are bangers! The scope of the game was to be a simple calming puzzle and after a while it lacks challenge for me. It almost entirely consists of counting neighbouring tiles and you rarely need second-order deduction i.e. make conclusions based on sets of possible locations. Because of this I find the game too easy. Even though I enjoyed the first 10% of the puzzle, I probably won't finish the whole things. But I got it on sale for €2.19 and have no regrets! Edit: I ended up finishing it anyway. Couldn't leave it partially solved. I would have preferred it if the game would have gotten harder over time. But just working my way through it, a little bit every day, was quite zen!

The level of satisfaction when you get the achievements is very high. Interesting puzzle, 10/10 Wonder if they can add a "Hint-less" achievement, would be great
