Minesweeper. Unboxed.
The rules haven't changed. The grid has.
Strata generates a new irregularly shaped board every time you play. No rectangles. No predictable patterns. Narrow corridors, isolated pockets, organic contours -- each puzzle is terrain you've never seen before.
Same deduction. Same flags. Same satisfying cascade when you nail a zero-cell. But the geometry forces you to think again.
BUILT FOR YOUR THUMBS
Grids are deliberately small with large touch targets. No pinch-to-zoom. No panning. No squinting at tiny cells. The entire puzzle fits on one screen, playable one-handed.
THREE DIFFICULTY TIERS
Easy: Wide, forgiving shapes. 20-30 cells. Room to breathe.
Medium: Corridors appear. Neighbor counts drop. 35-50 cells.
Hard: Narrow bridges, peninsulas, 2-neighbor cells. 55-75 cells. Guessing happens.
THE SHAPE IS THE GAME
Irregular grids disrupt the patterns you've internalized from thousands of rectangular games. A cell with 3 neighbors instead of 8 changes everything. Peninsulas isolate information. Narrow bridges create chokepoints. The shape is the puzzle.
