I love this game so much however I had a question about ranked. Can you please describe how to increase your global ranking? Is it based on top score, Best win streak, or wins?

Best Minesweeper however…

My only complaint is that you can lose lives on your first go, this means that if you die on your first attempt there’s no point to keep going so it’s basically an auto restart, I think you shouldn’t be able to lose lives on your first attempt

Love it

Great and free and no ads.
Can you add a way to see your rank in comparison to total players? Im rank 57 and I don’t even know if I’m like 57/1000 or like 57/60 or sum. Thanks.
