About the Game

You made it -- you got a job at HeXaCo -- the alchemy factory that produces HexCores that power magical apparatuses.


In this isometric minesweeper variant, your job is to flag for extraction the basalt columns that produced viable cores, clear the non-productive columns, and avoid setting off a dangerous explosion triggered by disturbing core-bearing columns. We even have a protection feature that offers a limited number of protected guesses when your goblin brain reaches an impasse.

Test your consistency by completing daily challenges!

Or relax with a more familiar classic format or an experimental map shape!

Challenge yourself with over 100 hand curated levels!



Congrats, goblin! Now go make a name for yourself.

Quality Of Life Tweaks

  • Frustrated when you have worked so hard to solve a puzzle but are left with a 50/50 guess that ruins your streak? We've got a limited number of protection spells so you can make that guess safely
  • When you have flagged the requisite number of adjacent bombs, the numbers on the floor stop glowing making clearing easier
  • A zoom-out mode lets you see the whole board
