Minesweeper, but make it social. SweepOff is the Minesweeper you remember โ€” hand-drawn, pencil-coloured, and full of that "one more round" energy. Except now you plant flags AGAINST your friends, race a bot that actually thinks, or chase your best time alone. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY โ†’ SOLO โ€” Classic Minesweeper. Beat the board, beat the clock, chase your personal best. โ†’ PASS & PLAY โ€” Up to 4 players, one screen, zero excuses. Pass the phone, plant flags, talk trash. โ†’ VS BOT โ€” A bot that actually thinks. Four difficulty tiers, from "warm-up" to "what just happened." โ†’ ONLINE โ€” Host a room, share a 4-letter code (or just flash the QR), duel anyone anywhere. No accounts. No waiting rooms. No nonsense. WHY YOU'LL KEEP COMING BACK โ€ข Hand-drawn notebook aesthetic โ€” every line, every flag, every mine sketched fresh. โ€ข Three board sizes (9ร—9 โ†’ 16ร—16) and three mine densities โ€” every match calibrated to your mood. โ€ข AI difficulty that scales from "gentle" to "genuinely mean." โ€ข Quick rounds (3-5 min) or long rivalries (15+) โ€” your call. โ€ข Lightweight, instant-load, plays offline (Solo, Pass & Play, vs Bot). โ€ข No accounts. No ads. No data collection. Just sweeping. NEW TO MINESWEEPER FLAGS? The flags variant is competitive Minesweeper, and it's deceptively brutal: โ†’ Tap a cell to reveal it. โ†’ If it's a mine, you claim it โ€” and get another turn. โ†’ If it's a number, your turn passes to your opponent. โ†’ Most mines wins. Simple. Savage. THE STORY We grew up doodling Minesweeper boards in the margins of our notebooks. SweepOff is what those doodles wanted to be when they grew up โ€” playable, multiplayer, and unapologetically hand-drawn. Built by two friends. Updated regularly. Made to last. Tap GET and start sweeping.
