Total Minesweeper is the new Minesweeper based game. It shows the total count of unflagged mines in each row and column, while starting the game with larger number of mines compared to the classic version. This changes the gameplay, resulting in more calculations and less guessing. Whether you are a seasoned Minesweeper fan or just starting, you should give it a try.

About

Stacked Cubes!

Features
Read full description

One half-circle. A pile of blocks. Gravity doing its job. Stacked Cubes is a balance puzzle. Every block you drop shifts the weight of the whole tower. Put too many on one side and the base rolls over. Stack too tall and you cross the red line. Your job is to fit them all in between. HOW IT WORKS Tap a piece to rotate it. Drag it onto the base to drop it. That's the whole control scheme — no menus to learn, no tutorials to sit through beyond the first thirty seconds. Place every block the level gives you without crossing the line and without tipping over, and you move on. WHAT MAKES IT HARD The base is a half-circle, so it actually rocks. A tower that leans is a tower whose top corner rises — and the line does not move. Spreading wide keeps you low but risks the balance. Building narrow keeps you centred but sends you up. Every level is that trade-off, tightened a little further. ENDLESS LEVELS The line drops lower. The blocks get heavier. The tolerance gets thinner. Level 1 asks for six blocks. By level 130 it is forty, on a base that barely forgives anything — and the game keeps going from there, with no last level. BUBBLES AND BOOSTERS Every level floats a bubble with a prize inside: coins, a life, or a booster. Touch it with a block and it is yours. Three boosters get you out of trouble: Undo takes back your last piece, the Rocket blasts away the row that throws you off balance, and the Anchor locks the base level until the end. NO COUNTDOWN No timer ever rushes a move. Take as long as you like on every piece. You start with five lives and they refill on their own; coins, a short video or an optional purchase can top you up sooner. Just you, the blocks, and the physics.
