Minesweeper the way it should feel: calm, fair, and fluffy. Pawsweeper is classic minesweeper starring Draco the Samoyed, rebuilt for people who always wanted to love the game but hated the coin flips. No timer pressure, no hopeless boards, no rage-quits. NO GUESSING, EVER - Draco sniffs every board before you play it: pure logic always wins - No forced 50/50s. If you are stuck, the answer is on the board - Your first tap is always safe and opens a real working area - Purists can toggle classic random boards in Settings RESCUE PAW - Hit a mine and Draco offers to dig you out, restoring the board to the moment before the slip, with the nasty tile flagged - First rescue every game is free - The rage-quit is gone; the lesson stays ZEN DIGGING - Flip on Zen mode and mines simply cannot hurt you: Draco fences them off and the dig continues - Losing is impossible; clearing the yard is still the goal - The gentlest way ever made to learn minesweeper SMART TAP, BUILT FOR PHONES - Taps on provably-mined tiles plant flags instead of exploding - Tap a finished number to open everything left around it - Hold to flag, or arm the Flag button for one-handed play - Classic tap mode in Settings for the old-school crowd FROM PUPPY TO TOP DOG - Four yards: Puppy 9x9, Good Dog 11x15, Top Dog 14x22, and the Big Yard, 18x32 with 118 mines for the truly hardcore - Honest hints: Paw Hint highlights the next PROVABLE move, and Mark all plants every flag logic can defend A NEW BOARD EVERY DAY - The Daily Board is identical for everyone, everywhere, always no-guess - Build your streak, stamp your calendar with paws, replay missed days BURIED BONES - Some safe tiles hide bones; dig them up for bonus treats WEEKLY CHALLENGE - Seven seeded no-guess yards a week, Monday's puppy bed to Sunday's Big Yard, the same boards for every player - Bronze, silver and gold medals, and three medals a season earn that season's bandana for your pup DIG JOURNEY - 48 curated yards across four areas: Garden, Beach, Snow and Attic - Three stars a board: clear it, beat par, no rescue. 24 stars open the next area, and Draco walks the path with you CUSTOM YARD - Shape your own board, 8x8 up to 24x30, with the mine count kept inside a range Draco can keep fair, and the no-guess generator on or off - One best time per board size MEET THE WHOLE PACK - Earn treats every win and when Draco digs up your Daily Treat - Adopt Biscuit the Golden, Storm the Husky, and Waffle the Corgi - Dress your pup and collect yard flags, from Meadow to Midnight Yard - Twelve badges on the badge wall, mirrored to Game Center - Three weekly medals in a season earn that season's bandana GAME CENTER AND WIDGETS - Leaderboards for your best score and your Daily Board streak - A home screen widget with your streak, your treats and a Play button that opens today's board - "Play the daily" from Siri, Spotlight and Control Center PART OF THE PAW SUITE Draco's pack does not stop at the minefield: Pawdoku brings the sudoku, Pawpile drops and merges the pups, Pawblast stacks the blocks, Pawitaire deals the cards, and Pawden is where Draco lives. Every game earns treats the same cozy way, your pack streak counts a day for ANY Paw game you play, and Pawsweeper digs up a one-time 25-treat Pack Bonus for each pack game it finds already installed on your phone. One more yard. You know how this goes. Draco is already digging.
