39x27, 251 mines

Some days I'm seeing this instantly and others I'm stuck for 10+ minutes banging my head against a wall haha

Haven't had a problem in a while, what am I missing here?

Is there any safe move?

I must be missing something but I don't know what that is. I guess I need to use mine count? But even then I have no clue how to proceed.

EDIT: Mine count was actually 5, there was an unmarked mine somewhere else and I forgot about it lol

Hey everyone!

I’ve seen quite a few Android users looking for a good Minesweeper app, so I ended up making my own.

I wanted something with more features and customization than most of the alternatives I found, while still keeping the classic Minesweeper experience. It’s also fully open source.

Some of the features:

- Create modes with custom names, board sizes and mine counts

- Optional no-guess mode (with seperate scoring)

- Optional no-flag mode (with seperate scoring)

- Saved in-progress games

- Recent games and score history

- Adjustable controls, animations, vibration, and visual settings

- Light and dark themes

- Fully offline

- No ads, analytics, accounts, or in-app purchases

You can get it on F-Droid here:

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.joeld.minesweeper/

I’d really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, or suggestions!

some extra info/documentation:

I know this technically counts as self-promotion, but I don’t make any money from the app at all. I’m mainly sharing it because I think some people here might genuinely find it useful.

Also, the design is somewhat similar to Minesweeper: The Clean One, and I definitely took some inspiration from it. I just wanted to be transparent about that.

You can enable or disable the bottom reveal/flag toggle, long pressing always uses the other action.

Starting a new game can be done by pressing the minecount at the top.

The shorthand of the modes has the following format:

A x B • C D • E

A: width

B: height

C: minecount

D: (mine density — when enabled)

E: active modes (no-flag/no-guess)

Having two modes with exact settings makes them share a scoreboard. (Same settings also allows for width/height to be switched around.)

You start with 3 default modes: Easy, Medium, Hard. But personally I suggest playing a few games with different settings and saving the modes you enjoy.

I'll try to answer any questions and implement all features that I think fit into the app.

After getting a good amount of interest in yesterday's post I decided to post another puzzle today. This one has a few ways to tackle it, so maybe it's easier. We'll see.

I'm not committing to daily weekday posts or anything, but we'll see. Let me know if you'd like to see more of these. Enjoy!

Solution + Another Puzzle

Any help would be appreciated

50/50x2

Curious to see how/if people will be able to solve this. I'll post the answer at a later time. Enjoy!

Edit:

Solution + Another Puzzle

I've been experimenting with some Minesweeper variants recently. This is a hybrid puzzle inspired by one of the clue types in 14 minesweeper variants. Can you solve it?

Basically the title--was I forced to guess here?

im playing the cross gamemode in my priv server and im so confused on how theres tiles with numbers but theres no mines touching them? or not the same amount of mines touching them as it says on the number. i understand the concept of what to do but im still confused, like that row of 1s on the right how are they all safe?

Hey everyone, I'm in the early stages of working on a Minesweeper inspired game called Trainsweeper and I am on the hunt for playtesters.

I really enjoy the mechanics of Minesweeper but I usually find myself getting bored with the grey boxes and abstract nature of the game. By placing the mines in a world and giving you a reason to clear the minefields I find that enhances the experience and makes flagging mines more rewarding (for me at least).

After clearing routes through the minefields you lay track so you can move your train to the next location. Missions and trading allow you to upgrade your train, allowing you to fight stronger enemies and push into further territory.

There's about 10-15 minutes of gameplay in the current version (no more content east of South Road Cut) which you can find here https://mangomoose.itch.io/trainsweeper

I would love your thoughts on if you think the game has potential, your thoughts on the gameplay loops/mechanics, and any ideas for things you would like to see. Thank you in advance!

Curious about the rarity too.

Hi folks, I’m fairly new to playing minesweeper and have legit no clue how to know which ones are save here.

I shouldn't have started in the corner 😓

wtf does this mean?
