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 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 One more yard. You know how this goes. Draco is already digging.
