MineX 2.2 speaks Vietnamese and German, and adds Subtract Flags, a new way to read dense boards. Your best times, statistics, settings and .minex replay files all carry over. SUBTRACT FLAGS - An optional way to read the board: each opened number counts down as you flag the tiles around it, so it shows only the mines still to find. 0 means all its mines are flagged; − means it has more flags than mines, so one of them is wrong. - Made for dense Custom boards full of big numbers, where it saves you subtracting flags in your head. The rules don't change, and Best Times and Game Center are shared. - Turn it on with Command-F, in the Game menu, the More menu or Settings. It can be switched mid-game, and replays follow your current setting. LANGUAGES - MineX is now in Vietnamese and German: every menu, window, alert, Help page and VoiceOver announcement. - MineX follows the language of your Mac. To choose another, open Settings ▸ General ▸ Language; Relaunch Now reopens MineX in it. NEW - A status bar below the board shows the level, size, mine count and density, and the row and column of the tile under the pointer. Turn it on with Command-/ in the View menu, or in Settings ▸ Appearance. - Hide Time shows --- on the clock while you play, and your time once the game ends. Turn it on in the Game menu or Settings ▸ Appearance. Replays always show the time. - Settings has a Sound tab with a switch for each sound: the clock, opening tiles, flags and question marks, Lucky Guess, win, loss and new game. - Settings has an About tab with the version and links to the website, Contact Us and Review on App Store. IMPROVED - Dense No Guess Custom boards spread their mines out instead of packing them into one corner, and they are made faster. The Customize sheet now warns only from 25% mines, up from 22%. - MineX deals again when your first click would clear the whole board on its own, so a win takes some play. FIXED - Times, rates and mine density follow your Mac's number format everywhere. The You Won sheet no longer mixes a decimal comma with a grouping comma, and Statistics no longer always uses a decimal point.

MineX 2.1 introduces No Guess: every board can be cleared by logic alone, so a game never comes down to a coin flip. Your best times, statistics, settings and .minex replay files all carry over. NO GUESS - No Guess is now the default. MineX lays out the board after your first click and checks that you can clear it from that opening by deduction alone. You can still open a mine by mistake. - Prefer the classic random boards? Turn No Guess off in the Game menu or Settings. Changing it starts a new game. - Classic and No Guess share Best Times, rankings, non-flagging records and Game Center leaderboards. - Custom games can use No Guess too. The Customize sheet warns when a field is too dense for No Guess and offers a lower mine count in one click. If a board can't be made in time, you can try again, change the settings or cancel. MineX never substitutes an unchecked board. - The window title and replays show when a game was No Guess. NEW - Full screen for the main window. A board larger than the screen scrolls with the trackpad or mouse wheel. - Two larger board sizes, 40pt and 48pt. The five sizes are now Extra Small (16pt), Small (24pt), Medium (32pt), Large (40pt) and Extra Large (48pt), on Command-1 to Command-5. Your current size is kept. - Command-right-click cycles a tile through a flag and a question mark, even when Question Marks is off in Settings. - Lucky Guess Sound: a metal tink when a tile you open could still have been a mine. Turn it off in Settings. - Save a finished game as a replay straight from the Game menu or the More menu. - Settings shows which Game Center account is signed in, and points to System Settings when sign-in fails. IMPROVED - The You Won sheet leads with your time, compares it to your best, shows your rank and calls out a new no-flag best. A new best time gets a fall of confetti. Click the rank to find that win in Best Times; detailed stats are one click away in Statistics. - Best Times remembers its difficulty and filter while MineX is open, and switches between difficulties faster. - Clearer light board: unopened tiles are lighter than opened ones, and the 2, 3, 6 and 8 are darker. In dark mode, the 5 no longer looks like the 3. - Numbers, counters and the face are drawn from vector art, so they stay sharp at every size. - Settings has separate General, Appearance and Game Center tabs, and turning a sound on plays it once. - The Game menu is regrouped by task, and the More menu adds Board Size, Question Marks and Sound Effects. - Help shows every control as keycaps and explains No Guess. - VoiceOver announces when a replay finishes and when a No Guess board can't be made. FIXED - Replay speed can be changed while a replay is playing or paused - Space resumes a paused replay and plays a finished one again - A crash when the board changed size on macOS 27 - IOS now uses the standard log(3BV) / log(time), so a faster game scores higher, and RQP the standard (time + 1) / 3BV/s. Best Times shows the corrected values for past games too - Times over 1,000 seconds and long RQP values in Best Times are no longer cut off

MineX 2.0 is a full rebuild on a native macOS interface. The board, the rules and the feel are unchanged. Everything around them is new, and your best times, statistics, settings and .minex replay files all carry over. WHAT YOU ASKED FOR - A single left click on a number now opens the squares around it, and that is the new default. You can switch to a double click, or turn left-click chording off entirely, in Settings. - Space flags the square under the pointer, so marking a mine no longer needs a two-finger click or the Command key. Space on a number opens around it too, and holding Space does both: flag a square, slide to a neighboring number, and let go to open around it. - Three board sizes: Small keeps the classic 16pt squares, Medium uses 24pt, and Large uses 32pt. Choose one from the View menu or Settings. - Game Center is off by default on new installs, so a new install no longer opens with an Apple ID prompt. Turn it on from the Game Center menu or Settings. Upgrades preserve your existing Game Center preference. NEW - Light, Dark and Auto appearance, applied to the board and to every window - A Settings window (Command-comma) collecting the game, Game Center and appearance options in one place - Synthesized sound effects for opening, flagging, chording, winning and losing, with a single switch to turn them off - Replay shows elapsed time and progress while it plays - The game mode menu now lives in a native toolbar, with a More menu for the rest - Keyboard shortcuts for appearance and board size REDESIGNED - Help, Statistics, Best Times and Replay, rebuilt with native macOS sections - The Custom Field sheet, now with presets and clear feedback on out-of-range values - The You Won sheet, with the fanfare kept for new records only and best-time highlights announced by VoiceOver - A new app icon, with a dark variant FIXED - Replays are validated when opened, so a damaged file can no longer disturb a game in progress - Chording behaves the same whether you use a left click, both buttons, Command-click or Space, and click counts match across all of them - Best times and statistics report a save failure instead of losing a record silently - 3BV credit and click counts are correct during replay - The board no longer animates its resize when Reduce Motion is on ALSO - The review prompt asks after a game you have won, never at launch - Requires macOS 14 or later
