## What is Mine Tower?

This game is the 17th iOS game for the Web Game Site "DAN-BALL". Vertical scrolling style minesweeper.

Mine Tower is a puzzle game where you have to open all the cells of the board without detonating a mine.

The numbers indicate how many mines are contained in the 8 neighboring cells. On/Off of a flag is made by carrying out the tap of the closed panel. A panel closed by the double-tap can be opened. When the tap of the number is carried out, and the surrounding number and number of a flag (mine) are the same, the panel except having stood the flag opens. 

When you tap on the mine, you'll get a penalty. Uncover the cells using the number as a clue. When the un-tapped cells without a mine reach on the bottom line, the game is over.

### 5/5 — シンプルな組み合わせながら面白い

*2022-05-28, version 1.4.1*

【良かった点】
・旗立てや開く操作が快適で操作ミスしにくい
・徐々に迫るデッドラインに適度な緊張感がある
・理不尽な場面が発生しにくく、ミス即ゲームオーバーではないので最後までプレイしやすい
【やや不満点】
・ワンプレイが結構長い

### 2/5 — 反応わるい…

*2019-04-15, version 1.3.2*

ハイスピードだと致命的です

### 2/5 — なぜタイム引かれる？！

*2018-04-02, version 1.3.2*

タイムが引かれてスコアがマイナスになるっておかしくないですか？
時間は当然かかるものなのに、それを引くってやる気がなくなる

### 3/5 — タップしても反応しないときがある

*2014-12-30, version 1.2*

空きマス, 旗マス, 数字マス全てタップしても反応が悪い!
旗立てたいのに反応なし...
空けたいのに反応なし...
こんなんばっかり (´Å｀)

操作方法は悪くない.
シングルタップ→旗立て
ダブルタップ→空ける
周りに旗が揃ってる数字タップ→周りの残りの空きマス空ける

旗立てて数字タップが基本だし, ダブルタップなんてほとんど使わんからこれでいい.

あとBGMでも付ければいいかと.
もちろんON, OFF切り替えと音量設定必須だけど.

### 5/5 — Very addictive

*2014-02-07*

A great take on original minesweeper, I've spent hours on this and don't regret any minute of it. Awesome game.

### 1/5 — OUTです。

*2013-12-17, version 1.1*

オイラの脳みそ、くさってます。説明読んで理解できない脳みそです。
Forever••••

### 2/5 — マスの開け方がわからない

*2013-11-08, version 1.1*

このレビューで開け方を知った
スピードを競うなら開けるのはシングルタップでしょ
旗付けは長押しとかで

### 3/5 — 面白いんだけど

*2013-10-22, version 1.1*

旗を立てるのがタップで
開けるのがダブルタップってのが使いづらい

### 1/5 — よくわからな…

*2013-10-01, version 1.1*

私が低脳なだけかもしれませんが、マインスイーパーができる程度の頭では攻略できません。問題はありませんが、ルールすら(説明が)怪しいので星は下げさせてもらいました。

### 5/5 — はまる

*2013-09-04, version 1.0*

普通のマインスイーパに物足りなくなった人にはおすすめ。せり上がるどきどきとグローバルランキングへの闘争心で、なかなかやめられない。
