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 clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mine Tower at none against Gun Clone's 13. Mine Tower also leads on review sentiment (35% vs 21%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Gun Clone's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Gun Clone sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Mine Tower asks for nothing beyond the download.
Gun Clone holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gun Clone has 9.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Mine Tower's written reviews are positive against 21% of Gun Clone's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mine Tower ships an update every 10 months, Gun Clone weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
