Good fun brain exercise

Perfect scores degrade over time

This game is perfect, as evidenced by the fact that it hasn’t been updated once since its release. That’s amazing, but it also makes one wonder whether new levels are forthcoming.

One great thing about this game is that levels are generated at random, which is fortunate, because it allows me to replay MS-1 through -5 daily. But I wish there were N, O, P, Q …

Très bon

Jeu vraiment super....je viens de tester une trentaine de niveaux et l’IA et géniale. Si vous perdez une partie la nouvelle est en mode aléatoire, impossible de se baser sur la partie précédente. Les parties sont infinies..... bien dommage qu’il n’existe pas davantage de jeux aussi bien faits. Le jeu est entièrement en français.

Игра огонь!

Всем советую кто играл в сапера. Да и все остальным. Сперва легко с 7 уровня начинается интересно/залипательно. Спасибо Вам разработчики за хорошую игру и отсутствие рекламы! Игра своих денег стоит! Для тех кто любит подумать

Great game - support landscape on iPad

This is a great game. iPads tend to be used in landscape mode with the new keyboard and all. This game forces portrait. FAIL
