Minesweeper NETFLIX

You should be able to tap a number in flag mode and clear spaces without flags. Having to switch back to mine mode to do that is very annoying and not how the OG game worked. Also have random times when I place a flag then it disappears which is also annoying .

Real fun to have a mien flag repeatedly and consistently unpin itself. It’s like have an argument with a toddler. Flag No flag Flag No flag

I know there’s a new region. Can you stop telling me every time I open the game?

An interesting and somewhat clever twist on the original Windows version. It is substantially the same game, but with a different build. If you liked the original, you will almost definitely enjoy this one.

Loved playing this on PC growing up. This has a welcome twist with nice graphics. It could never replace the fast pace clicking of the mouse, which was great because you learned quickly what each mouse button did. I think the closest way this game can mimic that is replace the mine/flag switch with a toggle button. A big flag button in the bottom left corner, and if you hold it down while tapping with other finger. If it’s released then it selects the square. That would make this a 5 star game for sure.

I would like it if the screen rotated for iPad

There’s been a standard set of controls for minesweeper for more than a decade. This app doesn’t have a way to use those controls. Pass.

Sometimes the flag button stops working when placing the final flag on the map.

As someone who grew up in the 90s, I have dozens of hours of minesweeper under my belt. This version feels like the perfect modern version of scratching that itch as a teenager

While the graphics are pretty good there are two main issues I have with this game. The first is that the game strategy is too easy. Unlike traditional Minesweeper this version uses just 1's and 2's instead of 1's thru 7's to indicate adjacent mines. Not much thinking required. The second problem is that the controls to select a space are poorly design. You have two options. You either have to constantly toggle back and forth to designate a mine or a clear space before touching the space which slows down the pace of play or you can keep the switch on the clear space choice and touch the space quickly to designate a clear space or touch and hold to designate a mine. The problem is that the game is very sensitive to how long you press the space. If you don't hold it long enough it sets off the mine. If you aren't very careful every time you wind up detonating the mine and have to restart the level. And if you are very deliberate it slows down the game too much.
