Extended Minesweeper
Read full descriptionHide full description
Minesweeper Extended is the classic mine-hunting puzzle you grew up with ā rebuilt natively for iPhone, sharpened with one small but game-changing rule. THE EXTENDED RULE In classic Minesweeper, a closed cell tells you nothing until you tap it. In Minesweeper Extended, the moment any of a cell's neighbors is opened, that closed cell starts showing how many mines sit around it. Nothing is faked, nothing is leaked ā the hint is just the cell's own honest adjacency count, surfaced earlier. The result is a game with the same pure logic, far less blind guessing, and a flow that feels closer to a real puzzle than a coin flip. THREE DIFFICULTIES ⢠Easy ā 8 Ć 8 board, 10 mines. A coffee-break game. ⢠Medium ā 16 Ć 16 board, 40 mines. The classic challenge. ⢠Hard ā 16 Ć 30 board, 99 mines. For when you want to actually think. BUILT FOR IPHONE ⢠First tap is always safe ā no instant losses, no restarts on move one. ⢠Tap to open. Long-press to cycle flag ā question mark ā clear. ⢠Crisp haptic feedback on every open, flag and explosion. ⢠Best times saved per difficulty so you can chase your own record. ⢠Auto-save: close the app mid-game and pick up exactly where you left off. ⢠Clean, native SwiftUI interface ā no clutter, no popups, no nonsense. NO ACCOUNTS. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. The full game is free. There are no banners, no rewarded videos, no subscriptions, no accounts, no analytics. Everything runs locally on your device ā your best times never leave your phone. OPTIONAL TIP JAR If you genuinely enjoy the game and want to support an independent developer, there's a Support screen with three optional tip tiers. They unlock absolutely nothing ā they're just a thank-you. The game is exactly the same whether you tip or not. Made by a solo developer who still thinks Minesweeper is the best puzzle game ever shipped. Have fun.
