Minesweeper: Collector 4+

I downloaded this game expecting just a cheap plain minesweeper, maybe with a theme or something. I was very surprised once I started playing. The adding of levels makes it fun, and the custom shapes for stages creates interesting and new kinds of edge case logic. The game runs very smoothly and handles ads more tastefully than I’ve seen in a decade (they’re short and not often or intrusive). This game also (I don’t know if by design or not) solves the problem of minesweeper being fundamentally unbeatable in some cases by offering power ups, and the tower power is hard enough and has enough stakes that the first couple of times I played it was actually thrilling and exhilarating because it forces You to take risks in order to keep going but there is an entire tower of progress on the line if You are too rash or get unlucky. Super fun — if You like minesweeper and are willing to be open minded about a fresh approach, I think You’ll like this.

Ps. Only thing I don’t care for much is the hexagonal mode (there’s just not a lot of logic that can be done with it), but I appreciate the inventiveness and I like that level selection always gives enough options to avoid hexagon levels

I love minesweeper so I went through many different games on the appstore until I finally found this one. I’ve never played any version of minesweeper that has so much content. Genuinely, this is one of the only games I have ever purchased no ads for (every stupid game on the appstore has ads). I don’t really know what to say other than definitely try it. try it. try it. There’s even an online mode where everyone does a huge minesweep puzzle (I do wish there was PVP it’d be really fun). All in all, I literally cannot find a better minesweeper game than this. 10/10 wound sell my first newborn to play this.

edit: there’s a bug where the mine explodes when you put a flag sometimes, it’s annoying so please fix that

This is the only minesweeper game I play, but it’s not because its the first I’ve tried. I’ve tried so many, but the others all have the same issue: it’s the same old format from Microsoft days, with the same amount of mines, same puzzle shape.

Not this one!

Not only are there hundreds of puzzles to solve, they all have unique shapes, and when you’ve finished a collection of puzzles, you can go back and play six variations of each puzzle. It’s essentially endless. Also, there’s a new mode where it’s a hex shaped tile instead of square, to shake it up a little. Not to mention the addition of power ups to help you through tough levels. And you’re thinking, well, that means the coins you need to buy them are scarce, right? NOPE! You can not only earn enough coins to unlock new collections easily, there are plenty left over to buy power ups as needed. And, you can also uncover power ups and coins as you open new parts of each puzzle.

There are parts of the game that have to be bought, but I’ve never spent a penny and still have so much left to complete. This game is incredible.
