Minesweeper the way it should feel on iPhone and iPad: clean, fast, and honest. No tracking, no account, no internet required — just you, the grid, and the numbers. Minimal Minesweeper strips the classic logic puzzle down to its essentials. A flat, minimal board that looks great in light and dark mode, smooth animations, and controls built for touch: tap to reveal, long-press to plant a flag — with haptic feedback that makes every move feel just right. YOUR FIRST TAP IS ALWAYS SAFE Mines are placed after your first move, never under it. On dense boards the corners stay clear too, so every game starts fair. FOUR DIFFICULTIES, PLUS YOUR OWN Learn the ropes on Easy, find your rhythm on Medium, then push yourself on Hard and Insane. Want more? Build a custom board: pick the size, set the mine density, and make the game exactly as hard as you like. COMPETE AND PROGRESS - Game Center leaderboards for every difficulty — race the clock against the world - Achievements to unlock - Detailed statistics: games played, won, and lost, with your win rate per difficulty AT HOME ON EVERY DEVICE - Layouts tailored to iPhone and iPad - Split View and multiple windows on iPad — play two boards side by side - Fully playable offline, anywhere - Available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic, Vietnamese, and Indonesian FAIR PRICING Easy and Medium are free. A single one-time purchase unlocks Hard, Insane, and custom boards forever — no subscription. The only advertising is one card on the game-over screen, showing an app from a fellow independent developer. Nothing collected there is linked to you or follows you across other apps — and the unlock takes it away, unless you choose to turn it back on in Settings. The classic you know, with none of the clutter. Happy sweeping!
