Read full description

Minesweeper without the coin flips. Every classic Minesweeper game eventually hands you a 50/50 and asks you to gamble. This one never does. Each board is built and checked so that logic always has a safe move waiting somewhere. If you are stuck, the answer is on the screen. You just have not found it yet. AN ENDLESS BOARD There are no edges and no fixed grid. Start in the middle and sweep outward in any direction, as far as you want to go. The world is generated around you as you explore, so it never runs out and never makes you wait. The further you travel from where you started, the denser the mines become. Nearby ground is gentle. Distant ground is not. SCORING THAT REWARDS REAL WORK Tapping one cell and watching half the screen open up feels great, but it should not be worth much, and here it is not. Points are weighted by how dangerous each cell actually was when you opened it. A huge cascade earns close to nothing. Picking apart a tight cluster of 3s and 4s pays properly. Your best run is kept, and the counter turns gold the moment you beat it. PLAY IT YOUR WAY Three levels of tap assist, so the busywork is optional: Quick open: tap a satisfied number to clear around it. Auto-flag: flags the mines it can prove, then opens. Auto-clear: after every move, every satisfied number opens itself and cascades onward. SIX THEMES, SIX ICONS Deep, Classic, Neon, Terminal, High Contrast Dark, and High Contrast Light. Each one changes the whole board: tile material, number palette, typeface, and the settings screen itself. Classic is the bevelled grey grid you remember. Terminal comes with scanlines. Every theme has a matching app icon, and you can put any of the six on your home screen. BUILT TO BE PLAYED BY ANYONE Navigation arrows: move the board by tapping, for when dragging is hard. Zoom buttons: no pinching required. Reduce Motion: newly opened areas appear instantly, with no ripple. Highlight a safe cell: after five seconds without a move, a cell that is certain to be safe gets outlined. Flag mines for you: every five seconds, one provable mine is flagged automatically. Show every mine: marks all the mines around you, for players who want the exploring without the risk. Turn on as many as you like. Nothing is locked behind anything. SOUND AND FEEL Every reveal is a soft click, pitched a step higher for each ring the wave travels outward, so opening a large area plays as a run of notes instead of a rattle. Flags get a sound of their own. Haptics follow the same wave. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account, no sign-in. Works offline, always.

Minesweeper with no edges and no game over. Clear a sector and the next one is already waiting — north, south, east or west, as far as you dare. Hit a mine and only that sector freezes: solve the sectors around it to win it back. The rest of your world stays yours. Play for three minutes or three hours. Your world is saved and waits exactly where you left it — even offline. WHY YOU'LL KEEP PLAYING • A world that never runs out — every sector is a fresh 8Ɨ8 puzzle • The farther from home, the denser the mines • Chest sectors full of gems, challenge sectors with extra mines • Up to three worlds to explore as you level up • A map of everywhere you've been and everything still unsolved ONE SEAMLESS FIELD Numbers count mines across sector borders, and every sector holds a fixed number of mines. Flag every mine or open every safe cell — either one solves it. WHEN YOU WANT A CHALLENGE • Timed — five minutes on a fresh field. How many sectors can you solve? • Hardcore — one mine and the run is over. A REASON TO COME BACK Three new missions every day, a daily reward, a level track full of prizes and 15 achievements. MAKE IT YOURS Color palettes, clay and paper styles, light and dark themes. HELP ONLY WHEN YOU ASK Hints, probes, shields and a sector solver. Gems lie right on the board — you earn them by playing. • Tap to open, press and hold to flag, tap a number to open its neighbors • No Wi-Fi needed Free to play with ads. Remove them with a single one-time purchase.
