Minesweeper Go - Retro Classic

I was walking Huntington Ave coming out of a class. I had classes since 8am so i was a bit parched and i wanted to stop at a jamba juice. But ok and behold, there were no jamba juices! So i asked the nearest pedestrian for directions and the man (or women, i don't judge on looks) yelled at me and said "I'm black swan give me all yer jewels". He/she was a pirate. Anyways I didn't have any jewels, so i had to bargain with him. I asked him what else he needed and he said he would accept a check. So i went to the nearest atm and i discovered atms don't print checks. So me and black swan walked the streets for a while looking for a bank. We talked abit and I found out he's into making tapestries. I asked if i could see some of his rugs and he was so glad that someone had taken interest in his passion that he took me to his 3-story house in the North End and i've gone back every friday since. Just goes to show u this a friend can be made anywhere u go. Anyways i was playing minesweeper when a bird flew at so i threw my phone at it and i think i broke its wing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ C'est la vie!

I’ve been searching for an intuitive yet aesthetic minesweepers app since 2011 and here it is. The answer to my prayers. When people joke “Maybe your future partner hasn’t been born yet,” this is what I imagine it’s like. All the past 23 apps I’ve tried were somewhat lacking in one of the two but this app is the best of both of worlds. Would recommend to anyone ready to satisfy their minesweeper addiction.

Love having both the vintage and modern themes. Worth the 99c to ditch the lengthy ads on this one. Nice soundtrack, overall a stylish, intuitive UX. Suggestions: 1. Classic MS doesn’t require tapping out all non-mine tiles, i.e., once all mines are correctly flagged the game ends. Please fix it so users don’t have to hunt down to the last non-mine tile to tap them all out, it’s annoying, and now I can see the logic behind the original MS not requiring that. 2. Would like the option to turn off just the mine explosion and leave the other SFX. 3. Love night mode! Great font choice with Avenir - I use it a lot, great font. One tweak to aid visibility: lighten up the tile borders a bit to make them more easily distinguishable to the eyes. 4. Biggest pet peeve: the flashing flag button. It’s novel, but unhelpful. Has caused several errors or second-guessing whether the button’s active or not. At least add the option to make it a solidly lit button. I’d also love for the button be larger and stand out from the menu row - maybe even add the option to place it in any corner, so lefties/righties can choose? That would be perfect. As of this version it’s honestly just poorly designed. At the very least get rid of the novel flashing effect - it’s a distraction that slows down game play. Overall, fantastic design - great work! Makes me want to check whether you’ve also done Reversi and some other classics.

This minesweeper version functions well and doesn’t have the same kind of lag I’ve experienced with others. Suggestion for the developers—change the default or at least make it a setting so the board is not zoomed in when you start a new one. I am playing on an iPad and play difficult or harder, so lots of squares. It’s zoomed in way too much every time I have to restart a board, and it’s annoying to have to pinch in to zoom out every time.

I watched my friend play Minesweeper, and that got me interested i the game, so I looked on the app store to find many apps, but this seemed like the best, as it had many different features besides just the game (changing boards, etc.) But an ad shows up after almost every board, which really aggravates me, as this game is amazing. I paid the $0.99 to remove ads, and it was worth it, but I shouldn't have had to in the first place.
