Epic Minesweeper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Let's play Minesweeper. Heres how to play: Click "Easy" "Medium", or "Hard" to begin the game. Tap the squares. If you hit a bomb, you lose. The numbers on the tile represent how many bombs are adjacent to a square. For example, if a tile has a "3" on it, then there are 3 bombs next to that tile. The bombs could be above, below, right left, or diagonal to the tile. Avoid all the bombs and expose all the empty spaces to win Minesweeper. Tip: Use the numbers to determine where you know a bomb is. Tip: You can long press a tile with your finger to place a flag where you think a bomb is. This allows you to avoid that spot.

Each loop lasts just a few seconds. When it ends, time rewinds… and your echo repeats exactly what you did. Afterself is a puzzle platformer about cooperating with yourself. Press a plate so your future self can cross, climb on the head of your own echo, use it as a shield against lasers, or anchor a loop to keep it forever. Plan across time, one loop at a time — but careful: if you block the path of your own past, you create a paradox. • 20 handcrafted levels in 4 chapters: Echo, Weight, Body and Paradox • 16 time mechanics: timed doors, light curtains, weight plates, lasers, green beams, phase glass, fragile bridges and more • Anchor, Retry loop and Undo echo: experiment without fear • Online leaderboard with three boards: First clear (did you solve it on your first try?), All-time (your best score) and Time (for speedrunners) • Share your records with a single tap • 6 languages: English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German and Italian • Short sessions, perfect for your phone • No ads. No account needed: the leaderboard only uses a nickname you choose Every level has one clean solution — and several clever ones. Can you reach the top? More at playafterself.com
