### 5/5 — A Classic Beautifully Redone

*2016-12-07, version 1.4.9*

This is the game I keep coming back to. Lots of apps you play for a while then delete. This one is a keeper! I'm up to 1.6 million tiles.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-12-06, version 1.4.9*

Simple but very engaging. When you start the game you are dropped on a seemingly infinite field of tiles that is shared by thousands of players. You can build your tile empire off in some unused space or next to other players. I've heard people say that they don't want to try it on their iPhone because they wouldn't be able to manipulate the tiles. I thought the same thing with my big hands but it actually works very well. I'm addicted! Customer support! Stellar!  Philippe responded super quick to my questions.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2016-12-04, version 1.4.9*

This an amazing game. The idea was completely original.  Keep working on it to make it better.  I end up playing this everyday.

I made a clan if any players want to join it.   It's called Yellow Miners

Happy sweeping

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2016-12-04, version 1.4.9*

A flawless implementation and very addictive

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2016-07-11, version 1.4.8*

Love the throwback to minesweeper with great new multiplayer.  Developer always fast to deal with any issues -

### 5/5 — So addictive

*2016-07-02, version 1.4.8*

Some niggles but it is a freebie so giving it 5 stars based on time I have spent on it.

### 5/5 — Addicting

*2016-05-31, version 1.4.8*

It's basically infinite minesweeper, and all of your tiles become part of your domain, and you try to expand it in competition with others who are on the same infinite map. Not thrilling or exciting, but it's not supposed to be; it's relaxing and rewarding and can easily hold my attention for hours.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2016-04-14, version 1.4.8*

Really fun! I'm not really familiar with minesweeper but still a great game. If anyone could write a tutorial or refer me to a YouTube video that would be great!

### 5/5 — Endless Minesweeper

*2016-04-03, version 1.4.6*

Probably the best multiplayer-ish endless minesweeper game I've ever played.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-04-02, version 1.4.7*

I love playing this game! I've always loved minesweeper!

### 5/5 — Great game

*2016-01-04, version 1.4.6*

It's fun and all but you should have a separate clan map to see which can occupy the most land as an event or something

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — seems like it should be easy but i could not figure out how to click on a single tile

*2020-10-23, version 1.12.1*

No matter where I click, the most that happens is that areas of the map turn from light blue to dark blue and back again, and i have scrolled and scrolled. Docs say nothing about this. 

User error?  Mindf???? At this point frustration overrides any fascination with the game. 

Remove!

### 1/5 — no phillippe

*2018-10-12, version 1.10.1*

horrific developer, likes to lash out at players for trying to point out update flaws

### 1/5 — Sounded interesting but flawed interface

*2017-11-03, version 1.4.9*

It keeps getting my attempt to flag mines as blow me up.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2017-01-29, version 1.4.9*

If you want a broken minesweeper game where every move takes 5 seconds then you're in luck.

### 3/5 — Fun app but major flaw

*2014-07-11, version 1.0.2*

This is a really addictive form of Minesweeper, but there's no protection from griefers so you can build a huge island and have it be exploded bit by bit by trolls with too much time on their hands.

Needs some kind of cool-down from blowing up tiles after a wrong move.

### 4/5 — Gud game

*2026-01-22, version 1.12.1*

I do recommend, good time killer with NO ADS OR IN APP PURCHACES?!

### 4/5 — sometimes misdiagnoses failure

*2020-01-10, version 1.12*

occasionally tiles that have to be yellow won't register as such, usually not a problem tho

### 4/5 — Too many mines

*2017-03-20, version 1.4.9*

Great game, just can't go 2 tiles without a yellow tile.

### 4/5 — Good massive mine sweeper

*2017-01-01, version 1.4.9*

Interesting premise to have such a massive play field. Battle against the grid or other players. Join forces with a clan. 

Simple and responsive UI. Developer is active with updates.

### 4/5 — Love it!!

*2015-12-20, version 1.4.6*

This is a never ending minesweeper.

### 5/5 — the nichest minesweeper everrrr

*2026-04-17, version 1.12.1*

tuff

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game!

*2025-08-27, version 1.12.1*

Just found this a few hours ago, now my friend and I are absolutely hooked! No adds!  Great version of classic minesweeper, I just want to keep playing. Simple but brilliant game! Love it!

### 5/5 — Troll Heaven

*2020-05-28, version 1.12.1*

Initially loved the game, then got destroyed by the only other active player I ever met, who was a troll. Ruined Hours of work. Don’t even bother trying this.

### 5/5 — Niche but fun

*2020-02-11, version 1.12.1*

My playtime of the game has varied over the years since I first heard of the game on TA but I still love playing it now just as much as then. It’s essentially a never ending game of multiplayer minesweeper with a few power ups and a clan and chat system to liven the game up. Minesweeper was never my favorite game to play but this is definitely the best version of the game.

### 5/5 — Favorite game

*2019-10-21, version 1.12*

One of my favorites to pass time. I enjoy that I can play it on my MacBook as well. For someone that grew up loving minesweeper, this game is the icing on the cake. Thank you

### 5/5 — A big blue bar

*2018-07-28, version 1.9*

I love the game and how there is basically infinite tiles and endless fun but when I play there is a big blue bar on the top of my screen on the iPad

### 5/5 — Lovely Game!

*2018-04-17, version 1.7.2*

This is the extended version of Minesweeper that I've always wanted! The game is very well-made and has a clean, simple design. It's one of the only games that I find myself continuously coming back to, so much so that I recently hit 1 million tiles!

The only con is a lack of active/dedicated players, but YOU can change that!

I'd highly recommend this game if you want a minesweeper MMO.

04/16/18
With the recent updates, the loading screen, dialog windows, and yellow flagging speed have all improved.
One request: There is an option to watch an ad for free yellows. I used to use this all time when the ads were 5 seconds long. However, now that every ad I'm getting is 30 seconds, I've stopped using the feature completely. Please use short ads, if possible.

### 5/5 — New Update Issues

*2018-04-10, version 1.7*

I enjoy this game very much and the issues below are surely temporary.

I can no longer spend yellows on sonar/wipers for some reason.

This may not be in your control but I also can no longer listen to podcasts while playing the game because ads have become very loud with no mute options.

### 5/5 — Good

*2017-12-06, version 1.5*

Fun

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-08-03, version 1.4.9*

Fun game, great on iPad or iPhone
