Minesweeper Classic

Easy to learn and for some to master. Inexpensive, low tech game. I love Minesweeper! When I need a little stress breaker, I play Minesweeper. When I need to cool down,I play Minesweeper. When I feel I just need to exercise my brain, I play Minesweeper. Competing with myself, I try to break my time record every time I play. Oh heck, I just like playing Minesweeper. Hope you will, too.

This a faithful reproduction of the old Minesweeper that I used to play on early versions of Windows and, in terms of game play, works well. However, there is one problem with the game - the “Flag” button uses two shades of grey that are almost indistinguishable unless the light is right, and you are holding the device at the right angle - it is far too easy to blow up a game inadvertently by thinking you have tapped on the “Flag” button and not noticing that actually you didn’t. Why not two easily distinguishable colours, instead of two shades of grey. This loses the game two stars for me. And....ads, in a paid game? Really?

It’s been nearly a year since this game was handed to a new developer and ruined. Appreciate that the developer has been responsive to feedback, but still in all that time, hasn’t been able to fix the basics— -new stats page still doesn’t work. Expert games play are counted in intermediate but expert games won are counted in expert -average time does not calculate correctly (currently looks like an average of my top three scores since the update) -flag button in the top right is still too hard to press -border around game often shows up incorrectly (have to open settings or switch to landscape to fix) -ads still occasionally appear on startup and are present in settings page ~~ Added ads to a PAID AD-FREE game. Still surprises me how this developer can find another way to ruin a classic PS Landscape mode doesn’t work now; as far as I can tell the update did not improve anything but added ads and removed functionality. Unbelievable and yet believable

Fun game. Works really well, but it really needs a restart button for when you accidentally hit something with your hand. So frustrating to have to start a completely new game.

I’ve had this App on my devices for years and I always come back to it. IMO, it’s the best minesweeper for iOS because it’s so down to earth and - in the best sense - simple. I will amend my review to five stars as soon as the developers manage to fix that pesky bug that sometimes delays the posting of a flag, especially and mostly on the right side of the largest playing field.
