8 of 12I've never really played minesweeper and I'm not great at it, I love this app. I think it's perfect for anyone like me.
Very fun, it taught me how to play better, and then left me with a very functional and attractive Minesweeper game. If you buy one MS app, buy this one.
what happen
This is a fantastic app! I love playing minesweeper on the computer, until you have it down to 3 squares and there is no way to know for sure and you have to guess. This app solves that problem! It randomly generates a minefield like usual, but then it reveals enough squares that you can clear the level without guessing at all...just straight logic. I've been looking for something like this for years; kudos to the developer for providing it!<br/>Suggestions:<br/>*Statistics (avg. time, fastest time, win/loss, etc)<br/>*Require firmer press to clear mine...I often accidentally brush the screen and inadvertently set off a mine<br/>*If you've flagged correct # of adjacent mines, double tapping a square clears other adjacent squares <br/>*Make an even harder level option<br/>*Option for hint to only reveal 1 square<br/>*Maybe an option that tapping a flag turns it into a '?' for keeping track of 'maybes'<br/>Thanks for this great app. I think there's some room for improvement, but the concept is brilliant and wonderfully executed.
Fantastic
Love, love, love.
I love mineswiper and this I never lost! If you don't get it, it tells you what to do when you press the hint key! It starts you on medium on both land size and hardness but to fix that go to the menu and hit easy and small. Hardness level and land size.<br/>This game is grrrrreat!!!!!!!!! Get it, because I think it is about the best game on my iPod and I have about 50!! It never gets boring! GET IT NOW!!! You will never regret it and it free!!
This turns traditional Minesweeper into a valid puzzle --- very good work. (A wikipedia article includes an example with traditional version where a guess is required --- that will not happen with this app.) NeverGuess Minesweeper has stayed in my top-ten list for more than 2 years.<br/><br/>I suggest two changes to help new users:<br/>a) have the brief help be internal to the app (i.e., do not require a network connection to access it)<br/>b) add a brief tutorial at the beginning for the occasional person who is new to Minesweeper.<br/><br/>I suggest a "Pro/$4" version include some extra features.<br/>1) several help pages with strategy tips: e.g., against a wall 121 implies mcm and 1221 implies cmmc.<br/>2) suppress starting configurations with a 1-move solution<br/>3) provide several options for Hint:<br/> 3a] show only one safe tile<br/> 3b] color the safe tiles according to depth of reading/reasoning<br/> 3c] link each safe tile to an explanation of reasoning
