Reveal the safe squares. Beat the clock. — GAMEPLAY — • Three classic difficulties: Beginner (9×9), Intermediate (16×16), Expert (24×24 on iPad / scaled on iPhone) • Tap to reveal, long-press to flag • Auto-flood reveal of connected blank squares • Mines auto-balance to stay solvable — no unfair starts • Adaptive board that fits any iPhone or iPad screen, portrait or landscape — GAME CENTER LEADERBOARDS — • Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert leaderboards • Compete against friends and the world for the fastest time • Sign in once, your scores submit automatically — REWIND, EXPLAINED — • After a mis-tap that would end your game, the Rewind button appears • Tap it to watch a short rewarded ad • Your last move is reversed — keep playing • Limit one rewind per move (no chaining) • Optional. You can ignore it forever and play classic mode — BUILT FOR TOUCH — • Big tap targets — no fat-finger losses • Haptic feedback on every flag, reveal, and explosion • Status-bar hidden for full immersion • Works perfectly with iPad Split View — PRIVACY — • No account required • No personal data collected for the game itself • Game Center scores stored by Apple, not us • Optional rewarded ads use Google AdMob (you choose whether to watch) • Full privacy policy linked below — NO BS — • No banner ads • No interstitials between games • No daily login bribes • No paywall • Just one optional ad per rewind, if you want it Made by a small indie team that grew up on the original Windows minesweeper.
