Mineswifter Lite (Minesweeper) – Puzzle Game Review
Mineswifter Lite (Minesweeper) is a Puzzle/Strategy game from Michael McFadden, first launched in 14th September 2020.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 134+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Mineswifter Lite (Minesweeper) Stand Out
Minesweeper – it's all fun and games until that 50/50 guess. So we decided to remove the guessing.
Mineswifter uses an advanced Minesweeper AI to make sure each board is solvable before giving it to you. This lets you skip the nonsense and SWIFTLY go to the boards you actually wanted to play.
PERFECTLY NATURAL
Mineswifter is designed with a modern and beautiful user interface. Customize everything from the background colors to your play style to make the game work exactly the way you want. Works great with split-screen and a mouse on iPad!
REAL HINTS
Every board is solvable, but not every board is easy. That's why we added a hint system that uses the power of the Minesweeper AI to show you exactly which part of the board is solvable next.
UNDO YOUR MISTAKES
Accidentally click on a mine? No problem! Since every board is solvable, there are no game overs – simply click the Undo popover and keep playing. Mistakes add 10 seconds to your time.
STAT TRACKING
The main statistic tracked in Mineswifter is the perfect game, which is a board completed without mistakes or hints. Try to beat your longest perfect streak or your average time!
DAILY CHALLENGES
Mineswifter also offers daily challenges, which can generally be completed within a few minutes. Each one is carefully curated to make sure it's fun and rewarding for both new and experienced players. Check the stats to compare your performance to players from around the world!
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Please for the love of god just slightly increase the amount you can zoom out; in medium games you can zoom out perfectly to the point of 1 column missing on the left or right. That column being perfectly out of sight has ruined so many of our perfect streaks because we thought there were no more tiles in that direction.
Love the daily challenge and we only see ads when we play the difficulty over and over. We only play the daily and its perfect.
At last solvable minesweeper. We are pleased. Thank you.
No ads, no unnecessary purchases, and the penalty system allows for learning while also providing a reasonable penalty that still pressures the player to sweep quickly AND perfectly.
Sleekest design, good daily challenges.
We love the app! Its super sleek and looks great, especially on dark mode. It works great and Ive had no issues. Two suggestions, however. Provide an option to disable the undo button and just end the game immediately. Second, a feature where you can create a custom board size and ours count.
Great UI and stats display that make this app a joy to play. There are also very light gamification elements that encourage no mistake games and lowering your average time which is just the right about of gamification for us. Often times it can be very overbearing and pointless but we think this app strikes a perfect balance for many of the elements its working with. Hats off guys such a perfect little app.
Ive played a few different versions of ours Sweeper and this is probably the best. Its so much more satisfying when you finish a game because you figure out the pattern instead of being on the lucky side of a 50/50. There are a couple of things that we wish it did better though. First, we like that it vibrates when we hold it to place a ours, that small haptic feedback is very important, but we dont like that every time we tap on a square, even if its just to move around it vibrates. Also, this is small, but we wish it had a more classic ours Sweeper color scheme option. Aside from those it is the best ours Sweeper Ive found.
The guess free function doesnt work perfectly but its pretty good. We enjoy this game.
We were tired of minesweeper rounds coming down to 50/50 shots and this is a great solution! The flagging can take some getting used to initially but pay attention to the center icon when it transitions to the flag symbol and consider turning off vibration feedback, then youre golden. Paid version sounds well worth it.
Im a big minesweeper fan, but every game comes down to guessing. 50/50s are completely removed in this version of minesweeper, although we wish you could have the same look of classic minesweeper in this version.
The best minesweeper interface, hands down, but the solvable claim is bunk.
