About

Minesweeper 2

Features
Read full description

The classic Minesweeper game updated with new features and a modern design for iOS 26. We love Minesweeper because it's the ultimate quick game fun and perfect on the iPhone, but the versions we've had on the phone didn't look good on iOS, are old and rarely updated, or even worse, included ads shared private data with third parties. Minesweeper 2 will not have ads or track your information. In addition we also have: - The classic game, with all of it's flaws - A time trial gameplay mode that allows you to keep going with a time penalty if you hit a bomb. - Stats on your play and progression. - Full Game Center integration to share achievements with friends. - No subscription! Pay once with everything unlocked with a single purchase. This is the Minesweeper app I made because I couldn't find the perfect version I wanted. Privacy Policy: https://c33tech.com/privacy-policy/
