Every board is solvable by pure logic. Every run makes you stronger. Fifty years the Prospector worked these seams — until the mountain groaned and the deep woke up. Now five buried realms are sown with live mines, and the only warning is the numbers whispered in the stone. He is too old to go back down. That is where you come in. Sweepfall is Minesweeper rebuilt as a roguelike descent. No 50/50 coin flips, ever: a real logic solver certifies every single board before you see it, so a lost heart is always a lesson, never bad luck. HOW A RUN WORKS • Reveal tiles, read the numbers, flag the mines — classic sweeping skill • Hearts shield your mistakes: hitting a mine costs a heart, not the run • Clear a floor, bank the gold, and DESCEND • Draft from 21 relics that bend the rules: extra hearts, shields, scanners, gold • Visit the Supply Depot, spin the Prospector's Wheel, fill your Luck Meter • Reach the bottom — or fall trying, and keep everything you earned A FAIR GAME, ALWAYS • 100% no-guess boards, certified by a real solver before you ever tap • No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. Plays fully offline • Cosmetics only — flags and themes bought with gold you EARNED in the mine • Nothing that affects gameplay is ever sold FIVE REALMS, FIVE OLD POWERS • Forest Mine, Crystal Caverns, Frostbite Depths, Magma Works, Alien Mine • Each hand-painted, each with its own music, each ending in a boss floor that pays double • The Old Root. The Prism Warden. The Glacier Maw. The Cinder King. The Hive Beneath • Dig too long and the boss WAKES — clear it while it sleeps for bonus gold • Waking one costs gold, never a heart. The board is the same either way • Frost freezes tiles shut. Fog hides the mine counter. Darkness closes in around you A DIFFERENT MINE EVERY SESSION • Runs open in a new realm each time — you will never grind the same floor 1 • Daily Challenge: one board, the same for every player on earth. Keep the streak • Coffee Break (5 floors) through Deep Expedition (25) and Endless — sized for real life • Earn XP toward Prospector Ranks: Greenhorn, Digger, Pitwright, Foreman, Deepwarden, Underlord • Even an abandoned run banks its gold and XP. Progress only ever moves forward Tap once. You already know how to play. Getting to the bottom is another story.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Sweepfall at Free against Chillaxian's $1.99. Sweepfall also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (daily vs every 12 months). Chillaxian's advantage is ratings volume (163 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.1 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
