This game is the 17th iOS game for the Web Game Site "DAN-BALL". Vertical scrolling style minesweeper. Mine Tower is a puzzle game where you have to open all the cells of the board without detonating a mine. The numbers indicate how many mines are contained in the 8 neighboring cells. On/Off of a flag is made by carrying out the tap of the closed panel. A panel closed by the double-tap can be opened. When the tap of the number is carried out, and the surrounding number and number of a flag (mine) are the same, the panel except having stood the flag opens. When you tap on the mine, you'll get a penalty. Uncover the cells using the number as a clue. When the un-tapped cells without a mine reach on the bottom line, the game is over.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mine Tower at none against Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb's 10. Mine Tower also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb's advantage is ratings volume (66K vs 3) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb has 66K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb's written reviews are positive against 35% of Mine Tower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb ships an update every 3 months, Mine Tower every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
