The thing with this version is corners also count as touching. The different numbers of neighbors itself isn't confusing, but counting squares that share a single point as neighbors is definitely unintuitive.

Edit: Oh shoot, I completely forgot regular minesweeper does this too! It's definitely the acute angles that threw me off!




Regular minesweeper counts these too, but the different shapes definitely make it harder!

I found it much harder to register two acute angles as "adjacent" than two right angles are.
