Sweepish

Sweepish is classic Minesweeper with one promise: you will never have to guess. NO GUESSING, EVER Every board is generated with a built-in logic solver that proves the whole board can be cleared by deduction alone, starting from your first tap. If the solver cannot finish a board without guessing, you never see that board. Your first tap always opens an empty area. When you lose, it was a misread, not bad luck, and you can always find the next safe move. PAY ONCE, PLAY FOREVER No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no data collection. Nothing leaves your device. The game works fully offline: on a plane, on the subway, anywhere. THE RULES YOU KNOW - Tap to open a cell, long-press to flag (or swap the two in Settings) - Tap a number whose flags match to open everything around it - Ten levels that grow smoothly from an easy 9x9 with 10 mines to the full Expert 30x16 with 99, all in portrait - Pinch to zoom on the big boards 500 STAGES A journey of 500 stages that climbs one level every 50. Each stage is the same puzzle for every player, and any cleared stage can be replayed. DAILY CHALLENGE One shared puzzle every day, the same board for everyone in the world, generated from the date itself. Keep a streak going for a bigger point bonus each day. POINTS AND RANK Every win earns points, harder boards earn more, and a stage's first clear pays double. Points add up to a rank that never goes down. If you like, compare daily times and total points on Game Center leaderboards; it is entirely optional. FREE ASSISTS Every helper is free, and every board can be finished without using any of them. - Hint: highlights one cell that logic can decide right now and shows which number proves it - Safe reveal: makes the next logical move for you - Shield: hit a mine, flag it, keep playing (up to three per board) Time records only count clean wins without a shield or safe reveal. STATS Games, wins, win rate, best times and streaks for every level and for the daily challenge, plus your five best times, stored on your device only. Built for people who loved the original and were tired of losing to coin flips.
