Minesweeper Twist is a variant of the classic game Minesweeper. Minesweeper is a simple puzzle game, where you need to use clues scattered on a grid to find all the mines. The clues are numbers indicating how many mines are in the neighboring tiles. Uncover incorrectly a single mine and you lose. Flag all the mines and you win. The variant: The difference is that the grid is irregular. On a regular grid, each cell has 8 neighbors, but in this case, they can have between 6 and 10. This leads to more difficult games, as you can't build the same mental tricks to solve where the mines are. Difficulty levels: The game opens on a beginner grid, which can be solved in a few minutes. You can increase the difficulty using the intermediate or expert settings, which will give you larger grids. You can also set custom settings, where you can have very large grids and also define the percentage of tiles that have a mine.

About

Sparrows on Clotheslines

Features
Read full description

Sparrows on Clotheslines is a cozy, one-finger physics hopper. You're a little brown sparrow making its way across a sun-warmed storybook city — hopping along sagging clotheslines, gliding between terracotta rooftops, and snacking to keep your wings going. It's all one finger: • On a line or a roof — stand still to rest, hold to walk, tap to jump. • In the air — hold to fly up and forward, release to glide. Flying is fast but drains your energy. • Walk off the edge of a clothesline and you flow straight into flight — no extra buttons. Energy is the whole game. Flying across a gap is quick but costly; walking the line is slow but free. The only way to refuel is to EAT — snap up crumbs and seeds strung along the lines to top up your energy bar. Run out of energy in mid-air and you'll tumble, so plan your hops and keep your beak fed. Drift across a multi-level network of clotheslines strung between buildings, each line swaying and bending under your weight. Keep an eye out for trouble: cats lounging on the rooftops, magpies cutting across the gaps, and flowerpots tipped from glowing windows. • Cozy storybook art — soft blue skies, drifting clouds, pastel laundry and warm rooftops • Simple, gentle one-finger controls anyone can pick up • Endless, relaxing runs — perfect for 2 to 10 minutes • Instant restart, never punishing • A journey through changing cities and seasons No accounts, no nonsense — just a calm little flight from rooftop to rooftop. How far can your sparrow glide?
