Minesweeper Puzzle Bomb

There are so many things that this app gets right. It looks great; it’s not too flashy or big, it’s simple and looks like the old computer game. Other apps I’ve tried make the boxes unnecessarily large. This game does not need embellishment. I like that the blank grids automatically fill in when you tap a block adjacent to them. I like that I can stop a game halfway through and come back to it later as long as I don’t close the app. The issues I’ve encountered are annoying enough that I occasionally search for other minesweeper games. 1. I don’t like that when you open a new game, there isn’t a little space to get me started. I can deal with this, I guess - I just don’t like that my stats show that I’ve lost so many games, when actually most of them are just me poking around trying to get a small section started so I can play. 2. There is a freakish amount of games that I lose because the numbers aren’t right. I started screenshooting (screenshotting?) all the games I’ve noticed that ended because I tapped on something expecting only two bombs to be touching it, but there are actually 3, or there are two bombs touching a 1, or whatever. This drives me literally insane and I have to laugh at myself because now I’m mistrustful of the numbers. I’m like crazy Charlie Kelly with all my pictures. I’m obsessed with minesweeper, and I just want a simple, good, reliable game. This is the closest I’ve found, but it’s so close to being perfect. I don’t know what it takes to develop a game of minesweeper, but I hope the developers know how much I appreciate their beautiful app and know that I’m reviewing because this is the only thing I care about, and want it to be perfect. I would pay for this app if these things were fixed. I want to see my real stats. That is what drives me in life.

I’ll just start out by saying that if you’re looking for an overall good minesweeper game then look no further. This game is a very good, classic strategy game and these developers brought it over to mobile and it works amazingly. I’ve noticed and love the feature where if I’ve flagged the mine and the the number the rest of the tiles get revealed without having to be tapped; it’s a real quality of life improvement. The ads on this game are not very intrusive and are added in very well. The only issue I have with the game is when starting a new game ( in this version) your first tile that you tap will be a freebie. This is good and is how things should be. The issue arises when only one number is revealed and I’m forced to tap blindly around the number until I can find a larger field (or empty space). I find that most new games will end on the first few taps because I have no options but to randomly tap around my first number and hope for the best. There are some other versions of minesweeper that fix this issue by making your first tap reveal a nice field with plenty of options to go and spread out. It doesn’t even have to be huge; just large enough to give a new game a chance to go on. All in all the game has no problems except for the one mentioned above and that really isn’t that big of a problem just more of an annoyance than anything else. I definitely recommend this game.

This has been the only minesweeper app I have ever used. I have had it for many years now. It’s efficient and clear. I highly recommend it compared to other apps out there. There are three issues with the app however and I really wish the developers would fix them!! Firstly, the records section never really makes much sense and doesn’t record my times correctly or even in the right difficulty section. The second is that there are times where I will play a specific board and then the next time I open the app to play, the first game is the exact same board. It happened for weeks once and it was fun to see how much of the board I could memorize but it’s an overall glitch. My last issue is the most frustrating. The ads on the app stop my music from playing mid-game. I don’t mind if an ad has noise but it should silence my music when an ad is not being played. For the love of god find a way to fix that. At this point, nothing is going to make me switch to another minesweeper app but there’s room for improvement with this one.
