About

Comb Sweeper

Read full description

Minesweeper, reimagined on a honeycomb. Every cell in Comb Sweeper is a hexagon with six neighbors instead of eight, so the classic logic puzzle feels fresh, and every number tells you something new. Press and hold to dig, tap to plant a flag, and clear the comb without setting off a single pollen popper. NO GUESSING, EVER Nothing is more frustrating than reaching the end of a board and losing to a coin flip. On Easy, Medium, and Hard, every board is checked before you play, so it can always be solved with logic alone. Hardcore keeps the classic, anything-goes randomness for those who want it. LEARN AS YOU PLAY New to minesweeper? The free Prologue, "First Sweep," teaches you step by step across five short lessons, with tips from Bristle, Buzzville's bravest little sweeper bee.
