Explore a colorful crystal mine with Barnaby the canary. Read the numbers, flag bombs and find every gem on a native 3D board. 120 STAGES, ONE DISCOVERY AT A TIME Start with a few bombs and learn as the challenge grows. Every campaign stage starts covered, and your first dig is safe. Empty regions open together, just like classic Minesweeper. Each number counts bombs in the eight neighboring tiles, including diagonals. YOUR PROGRESS STAYS WITH YOU Every completed stage saves your progress. Hit a bomb? Retry that stage while your earlier wins remain complete. You have 20 digging moves per campaign stage; thinking and placing flags use no moves. LEARN BY PLAYING A guided first game teaches digging, numbers and flags. Free deduction hints explain visible clues. Raised tiles, deep excavations and distinct victory and defeat screens make the board easy to follow. BUILD YOUR MINE Earn gold from completed campaign stages, restore Jade Hollow and collect 24 treasures. Aim for mastery stars by completing stages without assistance. PLAY TOGETHER Try an official daily challenge or create a private friend duel. Both players receive the same three-floor expedition, and the server confirms the results. Share your invitation when you choose. Online play creates an anonymous profile without a name or email; you can delete it in Settings. The campaign works offline and saves on your device. Includes English and Portuguese, sound and haptic controls, and reduced motion. No ads, in-app purchases or real-money gambling. Gems and gold have no cash value.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Crypto Hunter at 4.8 against Mines Game's 4.0. Crypto Hunter also leads on ratings volume (843 vs 114) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Mines Game's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and review sentiment (50% vs 26%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Crypto Hunter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Crypto Hunter has 843 ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Mines Game's written reviews are positive against 26% of Crypto Hunter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
