Ratings and reviews

This is a F2P done right. Its refreshing how well done this classic game has been managed. Voluntarily watching ads actually feels worth it to me. A 30s ad after finishing a game doubles the coins you make, and scales with difficulty. Ive just been playing to unlock themes at this point! If you know minesweeper, you'll know that sometimes you have to rely on chance in where some bombs are. I ended up buying the ad-free version to access the toggle that solves this, but it's not necessary.

Update: This game is great! At the start, I've faced dozens of frustrating guessing moves on Hard and Extreme, and decided to rate only 3 stars. The devs actually contacted me so fast, and told me there's an option to generate guess-free board. I can consistently win ever since, and I love spending time on this classic game. 10/10 would recommend. *contact the devs for the option. It's not perfect yet, so it's kept as a secret/beta testing for now

Actually good mobile adaptation of minesweeper. The different modes of flag/no flag make the gameplay for experienced players good. Zoom in/out function is entirely dependant upon the user, which is very useful for seeing the whole board. Flag mechanics mirror that of the original minesweeper, and its ads are non-intrusive and easy to forget about. Full customization of the board(how many columns/rows, bombs) is also very useful. Ability to retry always optional (<-good)
