### 4/5 — Too many Guesses

*2024-10-30, version 1.5.5*

It’s a great game and lets you use logic to clear the board, but too many times you are left where you can’t eliminate known safe squares with the numbers. I’ve gotten down to less than 10 bombs but loose because it’s just a guess. I think it’s because the grid is too big, so there are longer straight lines where each number has too many possibilities. 

Other than that it’s a great game.

### 3/5 — Mysterious pop-up menus

*2023-10-30*

Some pop-up menus and buttons on prompt windows coming up during the game are not in English, please translate those
Thank you

### 3/5 — 那個打磚塊遊戲到底怎麼玩

### 4/5 — love it.

*2023-05-29, version 1.5.5*

as always my review dissappeared. it’s actually several games. what means “you costs 120.5”???wrong english.  Crashes after each ad.

### 3/5 — Meine Meinung

*2023-05-02, version 1.5.5*

Ich finde es ganz gut. Allerdings verstehe ich mache spiele nicht oder finde sie sehr schwer. Komisch fande ich das bei dem Knopf Help ich keine Hilfe bekommen habe sondern die Möglichkeit bekommen anderen den Link zu schicken. Darum sollte der Knopf eigentlich teilen heißen finde ich.

### 4/5 — It’s cool, but...

*2022-08-01, version 1.5.5*

I love the multigame thing, but when you are swaping to the right, it returns you to the homepage, losing all your progress... :(
Thanks, hope you can figure something out for this

### 4/5 — love it.

### 3/5 — background refresh?

*2020-09-03, version 1.5.5*

Not seeing why background refresh is set to on by default when installing - what is it doing?
Does offer purchases when playing.

### 4/5 — Really? Chinese?

*2020-02-01, version 1.5.5*

Love it but hue rong dao instructions is in Chinese. I will change it to five star if you change the language for hue rong dao’s instructions to English.

Right there’s other games in this game but doesn’t matter right now

### 1/5 — 極度討厭的廣告‼️‼️

*2024-12-09, version 1.5.5*

之前廣告5秒都算了, 現在播到十多秒, 還玩2-3局又彈一次‼️ 不合用的, 10秒20秒30秒都不會要, 衹會對這game討厭到要delete‼️

### 1/5 — cool

*2024-05-05, version 1.5.5*

Everyone in the expert minesweeping list is within 1 second, which is so cool. The world champion trophy should be awarded to these people in the leaderboard.

### 1/5 — Missing function of true minesweeper

*2022-12-24, version 1.5.5*

This isn’t true minesweeper. You should be able to play the entire game in flag mode, but playing flags over mines and double clicking the numbers to expand more numbers out. But it’s missing that expansion feature.

### 1/5 — New version is totally lame.

*2022-10-04, version 1.5.5*

I have played many hundreds of thousands of Minesweeper games. Until I created a custom level that is hugely harder than the hardest “stock” level, I had about a 2% win record. That is a testament to how many games are lost on between the first and 7th play, especially the first play.
The new version is lame because it requires three moves before a new game is initiated. Those three moves take 3-5 seconds with the really lame graphic telling me I lost the game. When the % of lost games are lost on the first play is better than 50% that stupid graphic plays over and over.

Go back to just the board changes to sad faces and let me hit the sad face, and restart.

### 1/5 — 广告的殖民地

*2021-01-28, version 1.5.5*

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2023-03-21, version 1.5.5*

I turned the games sounds off at one point so I could play it quietly while wife was asleep next to me .   When I turned game sounds back on the next day, there are no sounds.   It’s a permanent button, apparently.

### 2/5 — Ads

*2022-01-10, version 1.5.5*

Paid for no ads but still get ads between every game.

### 2/5 — Annoying adds

*2020-09-05, version 1.5.5*

Too many annoying adds and review requests.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2019-08-17, version 1.5.5*

The board goes off the screen and when you try to resize it, you touch one of the squares and it explodes ending the game.
Also when you choose a board size and finish a game, you have to go back thru the menu to get back to that size.  There is no way to keep the bias the same size with out using the menu.

### 2/5 — Why'd it change?!

*2017-05-06, version 1.3*

If it ain't broke don't fix it. I get they're might've been bugs to fix or whatever but why is the game different now? I liked the old version better, it seems like the quality of this game went backwards with the fixes instead of forwards

*2023-08-27, version 1.5.5*

Keep the brain active with the tougher games. My favorite is Mine Sweep. Getting better as I keep doing the game.

### 5/5 — Minesweeper performance.

*2021-08-30, version 1.5.5*

Easy to see where you are on board, hold time to place flags is consistent and board doesn’t move while holding. Still slow compared to using a two button mouse.
