Minesweeper meets roguelite risk and reward. Numbers show how many traps surround each tile, just like classic Minesweeper. But in Ruin Dive, your goal is not only to survive—you dig for hidden treasure and decide when to retreat. The deeper you push, the more you can win. Trigger a trap and you lose the treasure you're carrying. SHORT EXPEDITIONS • Choose a 3-room quick run or a 5-room deep run • Find treasure in each room, then retreat to bank your score • Take your loot with you or risk everything for one more dig TOOLS AND CHARMS • Divination Stone: detects and marks one trap • Echo Flute: reveals every weathered number • Torch: scans a 2x2 area for safe tiles and traps • Charm: protects you from one trap RUIN HAZARDS • Guardians that drop relics when surrounded • Cave-ins that turn revealed numbers into unknown tiles • Weathered clues that you must reconstruct through logic Perfect for players who enjoy Minesweeper, logic puzzles, short score runs, and roguelites with meaningful risk. Play free and offline.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Ruin Dive at Free against Preserve's $7.99. Ruin Dive also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). Preserve's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
