### 2/5 — Game needs some serious fixing

*2023-10-20*

I’m a die hard minesweeper fan. I also have the PC version of globe sweeper on steam, which is fantastic in my opinion. This mobile version however, is slightly lacking. In all honesty I enjoyed my first time playing but I set my phone down to go grab a bottle of water and when I came back all of the mines on the map had spontaneously blew up without my pressing on the screen. Very irritating when you’re completing colossal sized maps. I think if my bombs just didn’t spontaneously blow up, it’d be a higher rating.

### 3/5 — Errant explosions

*2023-10-08*

Overall I like this game, it is fun and just slightly addictive. The problem I have with it is that if I put it to sleep the next time I start up it randomly “taps” a space and uncovers it. This means that more often than not it explodes. This seems like bug to me. I certainly hope it was not intentional because when you play the huge globe with triangles, you just can’t run the entire globe in one sitting.  I will say that I did not notice this problem in the smaller globe games.

### 1/5 — Fun until….

*2022-09-07, version 1.4.3*

I just finished the Colossal sphere level and I’ve covered the entire map yet the game doesn’t show if I’ve finished the level or if I’ve missed a hole or mine. The mine counter says 0000. So I must be done right??
 have I made a mistake somewhere, but the colossal map is so huge there is no way to check where the mistake was made. And after spending so much money just on the upgrades so that I could diffuse a bomb. NO way. Don’t spend any money on upgrades. Don’t spend any money on this game period. The large levels are totally unsolvable without having to spend money on upgrades and even then, when your bomb counter is 0000, nothing happens. Don’t buy.

### 3/5 — What happened?

*2021-11-19, version 1.4.3*

I like this puzzle game, but now I cannot eliminate the adds. I already paid for the non-ads version, but the buttons don’t work…please fix this bug

### 1/5 — Crashing

*2021-11-15, version 1.4.3*

After about 5 seconds of being in the game, it would crash. I tried multiple times and it still crashed every time.

### 1/5 — Won’t finish properly

*2021-06-03, version 1.4.3*

Played a colossal classic insane-density globe. Found all mines, timer kept ticking. No win condition, feels bad after playing this map for weeks.

### 4/5 — good, but...

*2020-07-17, version 1.4.3*

honestly, the game is really good, but the fact that you can’t tap next to a flagged area to uncover the 100% not bomb squares make the experience 4 times worse. game takes too long to complete that, but an easy fix could be made to solve that.

### 4/5 — Good game.. just needs an update.

*2020-02-16, version 1.4.3*

No updates in 11 months. :/ I can’t even buy the defusers anymore. Great game tho.. until you slip and don’t have a defuser.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2019-11-14, version 1.4.3*

Exits out every two seconds

### 4/5 — Great app needs notch update

*2019-10-17, version 1.4.3*

Play this for hours and like many of the earlier updates and features. Just replaced iPhone with one having the notch which blocks the stats. A reviewer noted this about a year ago but no update at this time. Also, in the huge setting a few times one has to guess as there is no mathematical option. Still a great game
