Evil Mineswifter (Minesweeper) – Puzzle Game Review
Evil Mineswifter (Minesweeper) is a Puzzle/Strategy game from Michael McFadden, first launched in 8th August 2020.
It’s rated 9+ and currently has 56+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Evil Mineswifter (Minesweeper) Stand Out
Evil Mineswifter looks like a normal game of Minesweeper, but every board contains a 50/50 guess and the hint system complains a lot. Yes, really.
PERFECTLY UNNATURAL
Evil Mineswifter is designed with a modern and beautiful user interface that helps hide its evil nature. Customize everything from the background colors to your play style. Works great with split-screen and a mouse on iPad!
QUESTIONABLE HINTS
We also added a hint system that uses the power of a Minesweeper AI to show you exactly which part of the board is solvable next, but ruined that too by having it complain every time.
UNDO INEVITABLE MISTAKES
Click on a mine due to a 50/50 guess? No problem! Simply click the Undo popover and keep playing until the next 50/50 guess.
STAT TRACKING
The main stat tracked in Mineswifter is the perfect game, which is a board completed without mistakes or hints. Don't expect this to happen very often.
DAILY CHALLENGES
Evil Mineswifter also offers its own set of daily challenges, all of which contain exactly one 50/50 guess. Check the stats to compare your guessing abilities to players from around the world.
This Puzzle game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its as described, minesweeper with a guess forced into each game. Because of the guess its a lot more challenging and fun. The UI is great and minimal with no ads or anything. We really enjoy this game thank you for making it.
It has everything we like and it has features we didnt even knew we needed such as: -No ads -Dark mode -Lots of stats (favorite thing in our hole life) -Challenges And more 10/10.
Now it crashes every time we open it.
