Good fun brain exercise

I enjoy this game. I can play it on my phone or with the family. Gets everyone think together.
The song gets a little repetitive….

That’s my only issue.

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. This game gets a perfect score … but stars degrade with time. 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

De lo mejor

Es un juego súper divertido, adictivo y fácil de entender. Lo único malo es que me resultó tan adictivo que no lo dejé de jugar hasta terminármelo, y me duró muy poco.

De lo mejor que hay en la App Store

Has nothing to do with minesweeper

The game resets when I check a notification. Cool.

Fun but could be better

I’m a big puzzle game fan. This is a pretty decent puzzle game, I’m enjoying it so far. It’s been incredibly easy so far so hopefully it gets a bit more challenging without just becoming a guessing game.

I’m a bit disappointed because it’s missing some basic minesweeper features that would improve the game. First off, you can’t mark a square as clear? You can only mark with a flag or not. This is my biggest gripe, it’s really annoying I can’t mark a square as clear (meaning no mine).

Second, placing flags does not adjust the number of mines in a row/col shown on the side of the board in the light bulb things. It would be really nice if they updated as you place flags.

The game is basically just minesweeper with a few twists so the lack of basic minesweeper features is a turn off (marking squares clear is crucial), and I think I’ll check out a different minesweeper game and maybe return to this in the future.

Très sympa !

Graphisme sympa et assez addictif.

My only complaint

Is that if you try to pull up Control Center by swiping down from the top, it resets your game. I wish the devs would fix that little quirk. Otherwise, no problems. I like how it’s sufficiently challenging to keep it interesting but not so much that it frustrates you into giving up. I bought this game during the holiday season sale, no regrets. Really enjoy playing it.

Really great game

App is really great. Enjoyed playing it but have completed it now. Need more levels please

もう一つのルール

ありそうで無かった感じ。
作者は最初からこういう設計をしたのだろうか?
UIやサウンドが心地良く中毒性がある。
難易度は低めだが、おそらく説明には載っていないもう一つのルールを見つける必要がある。
そのルートはご自身でご確認を。

Fantastic blend of Minesweeper and Sudoku

I was absolutely enthralled by this game for a month, until I completed every level with the highest rating. Would definitely buy a sequel.

Fun Puzzles

Great remix of a classic game. Fun puzzles that get quite challenging towards the end, especially when achievement hunting.

Too easy to pass

Good game but if the levels are randomly generated why are there so few of them before you finish the game?

Cute little game

Clean and cute graphic, music can be a bit repetitive but has the cheerful vibe. Level is well designed, maybe a bit on the easy side, but advanced levels do require some brain exercise. Overall, I would say worth the price :)
PS: the name says Minesweeper, but it’s actually quite different from the classic minesweeper.

Haptics

Would be really helpful if there was haptic feedback when placing a flag. I also agree that a marked as clear option would be nice. I found this game first on Nintendo Switch and the flag mode/move mode feature is kind of nice too (don’t have to worry about accidentally moving onto a bomb).

Idiotic

This game is lame. There is no strategy to it, unless strategy counts as just knowing in which direction the computer wants you to go. You can literally just guess your way around the board and win 90% of the time in under 10 seconds. Waste of money, I thought it was going to be more like the original minesweeper which I would recommend instead.

Solid

If I remember correctly, the game has 185 levels (130 regular, 55 advanced), which amounts to a minimum of ~5 hours of gameplay. The puzzles are not fixed, either. So, if you complete a level (or mess up during one), you can just refresh the level to get a new arrangement.

Aside from the randomness of the puzzle generation, the colors/visuals and sound are the best aspects of the game.

The facet of the game I found most annoying was the mechanism to place flags, which requires you to press and hold. Sometimes, the game doesn’t register the hold on an adjacent square and thinks you want to move there...which can need to the sweeper getting toasted. I would have much preferred a toggle switch so that flags could just be placed with a tap. (Also helpful would have been a third toggle option to place a third “maybe a flag or bomb is here” type of token for helping map out possible future pathways.

I found the game relatively easy to complete, but there are some necessary instructions for the game (that I don’t remember being in the tutorials) for those of you coming from a strictly minesweeper background, as you’ll often find yourselves in a situation where you can’t logically figure the correct path forward (unless you solve the entire puzzle on a piece of paper at that point).

First, if you have the option to move to a square with a symbol on it, always move to it.

Second, if none of the surrounding squares have a symbol but there’s one that you know *can’t* have a bomb on it, always move to it.

Third, if neither of the first 2 steps apply, if one of the surrounding squares would lead to a dead end, don’t move to it.

There were rare instances where none of these 3 applied and it was basically a guessing game choosing 1 of 2 possible squares, but, if you err, you can always just refresh the level to get a new puzzle arrangement if you’re like me and nothing less than 3 stars will suffice. 8^)

Fantastic game :)

I got three stars on every level and I loved it the whole time.
