Minesweeperﾠ

I looked around for a game that recreates the 90’s Minesweeper and like that it doesn’t have advertisements and only costs 2 or 3 dollars. You can vary the grid size and difficulty easily. It may not be an exact facsimile of the original but it’s the best I found anyways. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is that the mechanics of switching back and forth between flag and clear is tedious (it uses the same button and it’s easy to mess up if you’re going fast, which for me is half the fun.) Still worth it!

The app was great on my laptop but sucked on my phone. You get unlimited plays on your macbook but only 2 free plays on your phone.

This app is good and cheap but it is frustrating that you get one safe play at the beginning, which is usually only one square, and then anything can happen. I end up hitting a mine on the second play instead. It would be mych less frustrating if the first play was a more significant reveal so the second play isn’t still just completely random chance. This could even just be an optional setting if there are people who like it as is.
