### 5/5 — 面白い！

*2026-05-29, version 1.0.25*

広告ない、サクサク進む、運ゲーない、制限時間ない。楽しいだけある！！
問題が増えたら嬉しい

### 2/5 — Not a "sudoku variant", but could be

*2026-04-06, version 1.0.24*

I applaud rhe developer's creativity.  Unfortunately this is more like "sudoku-lookin minesweeper" than a sudoku variant.  Why isnt it sudoku?  The numbers dont behave like how they do in sudoku.  The math intrinsic to sudoku is not there.  Its minesweeper without the revealing of tiles.  Im sure you could make a minesweeper sudoku, but this isnt it.

### 5/5 — 適度に頭を使える

*2024-07-09, version 1.0.21*

従来のマインスイーパみたいな「時間をかけた挙句最後は二分の一の運ゲー」と言うこともなく、いい感じ
1トライ10分程度でサクッと終わるいい暇つぶし

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2020-10-29, version 1.0.14*

I have almost completed every free play puzzle. I’m still working on extreme 9 because it’s challenging. All of the puzzles I have done are possible to finish. I can’t say anything about 9 yet but I’m betting it can be done as well.

### 4/5 — Nice game, possible bug

*2019-12-28, version 1.0.12*

This was quite the puzzler. However, as another review says, extreme levels 9 and 10 are literally impossible.

Perhaps there's a bug in the system where a tile is mislabeled, or maybe you have to do something crazy like using less than 27 mines and completing every tile requirement, but at least for level 9, all possible ways of arranging 27 mines fail to solve the puzzle. (The closest I got was one wrong tile or all tiles correct but both a row and a column with 4, and another row and column with 2.)

### 3/5 — Error

*2019-11-29*

Great game I could play for hours the only thing that annoys me is the pop up adds because when you close them you are unable to play the game. This means you have to delete the game and reinstall it but then you loose all your game data and start again which is frustrating

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2018-11-12, version 1.0.9*

I can’t play any music or podcasts while playing this game. You start a game, the ad pops up and turns off whatever you have playing. Close the ad, go to your music playing app and press play, go back to this game and the ad pops up again and turns off your music. Every time you switch from this app to another, when you go back to this one, the ads pop up.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2018-09-21, version 1.0.9*

Love the clever combo of Sudoku + Minesweeper.

### 4/5 — Sudoku Mine

*2017-07-30*

Another interesting & enjoyable game.

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2017-05-04, version 1.0.8*

Glad I downloaded this sudoku/minesweeper
