Minesweeper NETFLIX

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.

I love this game! It's a great update on the old Microsoft one. I like playing the large maps on Hard; I like working around the islands to try to solve the puzzles in different ways. However, the amount of times I've used the Mine shaped button when I meant to use the flag button, has resulted in such a waste of time commitment, I want to quit playing. Why use a mine image on a function that's supposed to mark empty water?? PLEASE update it to a water droplet, or whatever makes since that isn't a mine! It's a challenging puzzle; it shouldn't require the extra use of mental energy to remind yourself that a flag, and NOT THE MINE button, is the one to mark THE MINES. Thank you for a great game, and your attention to my request. EDIT: One more complaint about the button. I don't know if it's just me, but I wish there were a setting you could change so that when you tap the flag or the other, it only selects that. Since the switch always switches to the other regardless of which side you're tapping on, if you tap more than once on the side you want, you'll get the opposite of what you want. I always like to tap the one I want before I place something, without realizing it's already selected, (because I'm busy thinking) and end up blowing a mine. I didn't notice it before today, and I wonder how many times it's gotten me killed. Thanks again! 🌷

The game looks and sounds great, and controls work well. But if you grew up playing Minesweeper casually on Windows 3.1 then the levels are just too easy, and the only way to progress to harder levels is gradually by doing many easy levels. I don’t think I have the patience to grind through that far; wish there was a Nineties Kid mode to skip them all and get straight to the hard stuff. Also would like a mode where time matters, like the original.

Can't believe you've copied World of Mines!

I’ve noticed on a few occasions that when I’m revealing tiles around a number there more than 1 or 2 or 3 bombs attached to that number resulting in me losing when in fact I was playing correctly. Other than that greatly enjoy this revamp of a classic!
