Description
Use logic to clear tiles while avoiding mines. Choose from tiny one minute globes to colossal hour long marathons. With hexagonal, square and triangle game modes this unforgiving puzzle game will keep you coming back for more.
Globesweeper is a twist on the classic minesweeper game. Use the numbers to work out all the tiles that are safe to reveal but be careful one mistake revealing a mine will cause the whole globe to detonate and you will have to start again!
With hexagon, triangle and classic square game modes, 5 different globe sizes and 4 difficulty settings you can be playing on anything from tiny hexagonal globes made of 92 tiles to colossal triangle globes with 20,480 tiles.
Play in traditional or guaranteed solvable mode where you never have to guess.
Can you beat a colossal globe?

Ratings and Reviews
Good, but could use some polishing
Overall, I love the game. I like the variation on the standard game and the 3D shapes and smoothness of it all is very satisfying. However, my only complaint is that it is very easy to click on tiles when scrolling around, especially on colossal. This is pretty big on colossal since your 40 minute run could go to waste with a little misstap. Fix this and it will be 5 stars.
Developer Response ,
You can now change the tap threshold in the options menu. If you set it really low this should no longer happen to you.
Fun until….
I just finished the Colossal sphere level and I’ve covered the entire map yet the game doesn’t show if I’ve finished the level or if I’ve missed a hole or mine. The mine counter says 0000. So I must be done right??
have I made a mistake somewhere, but the colossal map is so huge there is no way to check where the mistake was made. And after spending so much money just on the upgrades so that I could diffuse a bomb. NO way. Don’t spend any money on upgrades. Don’t spend any money on this game period. The large levels are totally unsolvable without having to spend money on upgrades and even then, when your bomb counter is 0000, nothing happens. Don’t buy.
Great variation on Minesweeper 👌
Update: I used to say the game could use some more polish, but I’ve been completely happy after the past few updates. Thanks!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this so far. I agree it could use a little more polish, but it’s good enough that I’m hoping there’ll be some variations on this in the future.
