Strata
Read full descriptionHide full description
Minesweeper. Unboxed. The rules haven't changed. The grid has. Strata generates a new irregularly shaped board every time you play. No rectangles. No predictable patterns. Narrow corridors, isolated pockets, organic contours -- each puzzle is terrain you've never seen before. Same deduction. Same flags. Same satisfying cascade when you nail a zero-cell. But the geometry forces you to think again. BUILT FOR YOUR THUMBS Grids are deliberately small with large touch targets. No pinch-to-zoom. No panning. No squinting at tiny cells. The entire puzzle fits on one screen, playable one-handed. THREE DIFFICULTY TIERS Easy: Wide, forgiving shapes. 20-30 cells. Room to breathe. Medium: Corridors appear. Neighbor counts drop. 35-50 cells. Hard: Narrow bridges, peninsulas, 2-neighbor cells. 55-75 cells. Guessing happens. THE SHAPE IS THE GAME Irregular grids disrupt the patterns you've internalized from thousands of rectangular games. A cell with 3 neighbors instead of 8 changes everything. Peninsulas isolate information. Narrow bridges create chokepoints. The shape is the puzzle. WHAT YOU GET - Procedurally generated irregular grids - Classic minesweeper rules (tap to reveal, long-press to flag) - First-tap safety on every board - Per-difficulty stats: win rate, best time, streaks - Game state saves automatically - Haptic feedback tuned to each action - Dark mode by default WHAT YOU DON'T GET No tutorials. No hints. No ads. No accounts. No cloud. No in-app purchases. No internet required. Ever. A puzzle game for people who already know minesweeper.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Strata at none against Fil's shown. Fil's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
