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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mine Tower holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chicks has 87 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Chicks'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

Chicks ships an update every 2 months, Mine Tower every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
