Minesweeper x Grimlings
Read full descriptionHide full description
Grimlings is Minesweeper, reborn โ the same razor-sharp deduction you love, wrapped around a dungeon full of little monsters and a puzzle that's fair every single time. No More Guessing Every floor is certified solvable by logic alone. A number isn't a count of hidden bombs โ it's the total fangs of the grimlings around it. Add them up, read the board, and there's always a next safe tile to find. Lose, and it's on you โ never a coin flip. A Daily Descent One shared puzzle for everyone, every day. Build a streak, fill in the calendar, and see how your run stacks up. Miss a day? Repair your streak and keep it alive. Endless Mode Chase depth. Each floor is bigger and meaner than the last, hearts are scarce, and three-fang beasts wait in the dark. How deep can you go? Collect the Bestiary Dozens of grimlings to discover, from the common little Nib to the legendary Nightmaw. The rarest only turn up after weeks of play โ a menagerie that fills out as you descend. Built to Feel Good Native, fast, and gorgeous on iPhone and iPad. Liquid-glass design, rounded type, satisfying haptics, and a board that's a joy to read. No accounts, no clutter โ open it and play. Grimlings keeps the soul of the classic โ pure logic, one wrong move from disaster โ and gives you a reason to come back tomorrow. Sharpen your mind. Wake nothing. ---- Some features require an optional subscription. Privacy Policy: https://grimlings.co/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Minesweeper x Grimlings at none against MineFacet's shown. Minesweeper x Grimlings also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). MineFacet's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
