Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Honestly, Im pretty shocked that this game doesnt have more reviews! Im a huge Minesweeper lover, and this one is just too fun and addicting. Ive played other Minesweepers, such as the Infinite Minesweeper, and other themed ones, but this one specifically has definitely jumped to the top of our list! We have never played a hexagonal Minesweeper before, so being introduced to that was super refreshing. Being a perfectionist (who was once addicted to collecting Pets and Mounts among other things in World of Warcraft), we ADORE how much there is to collect in this game! Its laid back and fun to mindlessly play, but isnt afraid to give you a challenge sometimes. Its also super cute, from the font and backgrounds to the adorable little pets. TLDR; Pros: Works well with Apple Pencil Tons to do, lots to collect Super cute and unique level designs/styles Two different Minesweeper games (original and hexagonal) Includes classic Minesweeper mode Cute catchy music (some songs somewhat reminiscent of Legend of Zelda, imo) Satisfying sound effects Lots of QOL options Cons: Some might get irritated by the ads (but theres also a very cheap paid option to permanently disable ads) Some skins behind paywall (*BUT, read below!) Honestly, all the cons are related to the Premium but at the same time, with all that you get with the Premium (Skins, Pets, Backgrounds, Animations, No Ads?!) at the price it is ($2.99)?? It is 1000% worth it. We mean, if we saw this game on Steam with all it has and it was only $2.99? Id buy it in a heartbeat. Plus, it supports the creator. All in all, even -without- Premium, the game is so much fun and has tons to do even as a FTP. So, if youre looking for a cute, fun, interactive and intuitive Minesweeper (or even just a classic Minesweeper), Id recommend this game.
Often the issue we have playing minesweeper is not being challenged or a goal when playing. We love the leveling system and reward system in the game. Cant wait for more.
Ive been playing this game on and off for a year or two now and it never stops sucking us in! The collectible aspect of the game really is what keeps it alive for us (honestly the only way that Ive been able to play minesweeper games in general XD). Keep up the good work! Really excited for when number makes it to the phone.
Ive always liked minesweeper, but this makes more objectives and goals to work to making it more enticing.
We mean, seriously, we have no notes. Just an excellent puzzler from top to bottom. Its anti-frustration features have made the game absolutely addicting to us, because we no longer feel like Im at the mercy of an unfair puzzle; if we succeed or fail, its on us, and we love that.
Exactly what Id hope for in a modern minesweeper game with extra fun features.
Adds a wonderful thing to minesweeper that was missing from the beginning. If you loved wasting hours playing back in the day you are in for a treat.
Neat concept and excellently done. A lot of different variety and also a lot of help. A fun brain teaser.
This game is what you expect plus more. The mechanics are solid in that even though it is a phone version of minesweeper, you can still move fast like if you had 2 mouse buttons. There are some other modes too like puzzle and tower of power that give the game a novel twist. Its the best minesweeper Ive tried on a phone.
Its minesweeper but with more modes which is like such a W.
We love minesweeper so we went through many different games on the appstore until we finally found this one. Ive never played any version of minesweeper that has so much content. Genuinely, this is one of the only games we have ever purchased no ads for (every stupid game on the appstore has ads). We dont really know what to say other than definitely try it. Try it. Try it. Theres even an online mode where everyone does a huge minesweep puzzle (we do wish there was PVP itd be really fun). All in all, we literally cannot find a better minesweeper game than this. 10/10 wound sell our first newborn to play this. Edit: theres a bug where the ours explodes when you put a flag sometimes, its annoying so please fix that.
This is hands down the best minesweeper game Ive downloaded. It has a reasonable amount of ads and entertaining variety of gameplay. Happy to have found it :).
This is such an entertaining version minesweeper that keeps us interested. The only problem we have with it is the fact that on iPhone the camera bar in top middle is always always blocking something important. For instance, the number of bombs, and cash is always displayed right where that is. We can only ever see the first 2 numbers. Its only slightly an inconvenience and we make do but we never know the true numbers.
This game has become our go to game when we just need something quick to play. It has a stupid amount of content. Like this game is a completionists dream. You will never run out of fun things to do playing this game.
The game is mostly minesweeper with squares or hexes, different boundary shapes, and special powers to avoid guessing. There are lots of levels and achievements. If thats what you want, this is for you. There is a low fee to permanently remove ads or open new modes. There are no annoying attempts to get you to pay to win.
We really like the way the different level shapes change the dynamics; we dont know if anyone else thought of putting minesweeper in something besides an x by y grid, but we havent seen it before. Also, no ads ever is cheap enough that it feels like buying a game instead of paying a random.
This game actually teaches you a LOT about minesweeper. We used to think there was tons of luck involved, but it turns out you can figure out so much! Tbh we love it. If you love minesweeper, at all, get this game.
This is our favorite minesweeper app in the iOS store. Upgrading to no ads was best $ we ever spent in a game.
We grew up playing solitaire and minesweeper in middle school. Its just like the old version but more fun because of the different layouts and level.
Bought premium bc we have no patience for pop up ads, been playing non stop since we downloaded it, cute themes.
This is the only minesweeper game we play, but its not because its the first Ive tried. Ive tried so many, but the others all have the same issue: its the same old format from Microsoft days, with the same amount of mines, same puzzle shape. Not this one! Not only are there hundreds of puzzles to solve, they all have unique shapes, and when youve finished a collection of puzzles, you can go back and play six variations of each puzzle. Its essentially endless. Also, theres a new mode where its a hex shaped tile instead of square, to shake it up a little. Not to mention the addition of power ups to help you through tough levels. And youre thinking, well, that means the coins you need to buy them are scarce, right? NOPE! You can not only earn enough coins to unlock new collections easily, there are plenty left over to buy power ups as needed. And, you can also uncover power ups and coins as you open new parts of each puzzle. There are parts of the game that have to be bought, but Ive never spent a penny and still have so much left to complete. This game is incredible.
Honestly we were bored of google minesweeper and wanted to see if any others had some fun modes, this is basically what we were looking for! If you like puzzle games but dont want one thats too challenging, try this.
Very fun Minesweeper game. Not sure if this is a problem for others, but the top of the game screen is covered by the dynamic Island for us. Can't see menu names or the experience bar. We're using an iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Worth getting. Only suggestion is to maybe proofread the localization when you get a chance.
Opening the squares should be the half second hold and marking them just a tap. Too easy to accidentally hit a square.
Everyone knows minesweeper so you shouldnt be too surprised by what this is. They do improve it by having more variety of puzzles and an in-game (not cash) shoo for stuff. If you like minesweeper, you will dig this.
Has multiple modes (for classic lovers) that stand out from others on the store. Cheap premium price, and a fun and unique take on a classic game! Very fun.
We downloaded a few different minesweeper apps and we like this one the most.
Lots of replay ability and variety.
We have always liked Minesweeper, we dont know why it took us this long to get an app for it. We tried this app because it has the classic Minesweeper skin, but also looked like it was trying something of its own too. Its got a great look, runs smooth, and the music is really good. We like the inclusion of a hexagonal Minesweeper, and the many items which are all bought without real money. We believe this dev has found a fair price for premium, and even free to play is painless because the ads are one every few rounds and its a 5 second skip.
We really enjoy this game. We feel like we can play minesweeper now without asking ourselves what Im doing with our life. Likely going to buy the premium soon. Lots of fun.
Will probably end up paying for premium at some point.
The music while playing is great, the ads are minimal and not too long, and it feels like Im on a quest. A great reimagining of the classic minesweeper.
Enough variability to keep it interesting and keep you coming back.
Having a blast, just unlocked the pets and we cant stop playing it.
Love playing this game only thing is we dont know what to do with the coins.
We love how the game is keeping the same feel as the old game, but adding so much more at the same time.
, , , – , – . , , , , , . . :.
You watch a five second skipable advertisement after each level for the most part. Kind of fun collecting keys to access the next areas. We recommend.
Very relaxing with nice visuals. Im glad there isnt a timer system in the main mode, but level progressions. Still starting, but looks to be a decent amount of levels and extras to unlock. Nice to see a polished version of an old classic.
Easy navigation and plenty to collections and game modes. Original game inside too and intact. We have played many and this one is great.
Above average minesweeper that might be an understatement.
Really fun and addictive minesweeper fun. The ads are super short as the today 07/21/22 so ads dont feel so bad (like 5 seconds then skip). Just a lot of puzzle minesweeping fun if you enjoy minesweeper. Very helpful and instructive for new minesweepers too.
When we saw this was minesweeper, we remembered it from the good old days of early Windows. Great retro feeling. Awesome casual game you can dive in and out of easily. Fun. Gets challenging.
Im a big fan of the original desktop game! This app keeps what made the original fun while brining a great twist for mobile.
If you like minesweeper, then this is even better than the original. So many modes depending on your mood.
We got got this game premium on Android and again on IOS now that we've switched. Great game to have installed to burn a few minutes waiting for something. There's a good range in difficulty, a hsx mode, power ups in the main collection track to make things easier / get out of difficult choices, and classic modes for the purist. Also, has a collection of adorable pets! If you like minesweeper games this is a great pick.
We wish more game developers made games like this. You can play for free OR buy once and disable ads. The review reminder can be permanently hidden too. Gameplay is super fun, and UI is snappy and responsive. Music is well made, levels well made, its an instant classic take on a classic.
A fun rewarding minesweeper with easy to collect currency to buy helpful items that help a lot of situations.
Im impressed. We grew up when there was only minesweeper and paint for fun. Kudos.
