Minesweeper Classic 2 Reviews

At first i didnt mind the ‘game lost’ screen. But if you do seriously play this game this unskippable game lost screen starts to get super *ucking annoying. Game lost scene takes 3 or almost 4 seconds and it adds up. Like a lot. I wouldn't start raging if i could just start new games instantly without waiting the “punishment time”. I can and tried to just download different minesweeper games but every other minesweeper has bad font and bad colors, its just supper uncomfortable for eyes, thats why im sticking to this one but still. This game lost scene makes me want to just *ucking smah my phone. I know i lost, why do i wait 4 punishment seconds? This isnt team fortress 2 or cs, but i still have to wait every time i loose. I love the font and colors but still, *UCK you to the developers. I dont have adds because i use mobile data and i just turn off internet access to MinesweeperClassic2 specifically in the settings

It seems ridiculous that I am able to make the squares twice as big on my iPhone 10 max than I can on my iPad mini 4. You’d think it would be the exact opposite. It makes playing the game on anything but a larger iPhone absolutely worthless. I love this game on my iPhone but have removed it from my iPad mini because the buttons are simply way to small to press accurately. The iPad mini should be the optimum sized device for this game as the larger iPads are too big and clumsy for this game. Currently, the larger iPhones are by far the best for playing this game but that would change if they incorporate the ability to make the squares larger on the iPads, especially the mini which would become the best machine for this game. Very disappointing game play on the iPad mini.

The games constantly freezing and making it impossible to keep playing, multiple times per game I can’t move the screen or click any buttons, but the game timer is still going on so that ruins my times. Also I’ve ran into times where the numbers and the bombs just don’t match up, it seems impossible. On top of that when you do set off a bomb you don’t even get a chance to see the solved game screen, it’s as if they are trying to hide their janky set up. Overall a super unpleasant app can’t wait to find a new one

Would give you zero stars if I could. I had a custom screen size, 11 buttons by 19, 40 mines, that exactly filled the screen so I didn’t have to use the distracting and time-killing sweep left right up down to see the field. You need small-medium-large button size option. You need to get rid of the infuriating nag to turn on notifications. ***** I DO NOT WANT NOTIFICATIONS FROM MY GAME APPS. *****

You have ruined MinesweeperClassic2 . What were you thinking!??????????

MinesweeperClassic2 used to be perfect. The visuals were better than the retro style of most minesweepers and it was super simple to open and play. Now the game is frequently asking you to purchase upgrades which I would be fine with on its own, but they added an unnecessary animation after ending the game that just wastes time. I would go back to this game if they removed that animation or at least gave on option to do so but as it stands, I’ll have to find another app.

I paid the $0.99 to remove ads, which it did, but the unlock button to remove ads is still present and functional.

Also, the stats for the Difficult setting aren't tracking properly. It lists my first losing streak, and the first game I won. But it never kept track of the games played, which still says zero. I've won Difficult 4 times now, but it still only lists the first win, and original losing streak. I'm a stats guy, I like to keep track of these types of pointless things, so that's very frustrating for me.

I've emailed the support team, but haven't heard back, which is also frustrating. I know you're busy, but at least an automated email acknowledging my issue and a time frame for response would be cool.

I’ve had this on my iPad for a few years. According to the new Privacy info in iOS 14, MinesweeperClassic2 is tracking its users. I can see collecting ANONYMOUS usage data to see how MinesweeperClassic2 is being used, but I don’t see any reason why that needs to be tied to my identity, or why games should be trying to track people in the first place, so ... deleted.

Which is too bad, it’s a cute little game, a good way to pass a few minutes when I’m sitting in a waiting room or whatever. If a future version is released which doesn’t tie any information to my identity, I’ll install it again.

When in flag function, you used to be able to click on the square with the number to have all unmarked squares touching it go down, to help you count how many you had left. Now, it changes any flags you have labeled into question marks, and adds flags to all unmarked squares. Change the function back to the way it was, the new way is awful and inefficient.

1. Too many times do you have to make a guess (an either or guess move) to win a game after you have gone through all the moves to get to a win. Frustrating!!!!
2. It often takes too many times to be able to start a game successfully. I have gone maybe 15 minutes to be able to get to a good start of the game. This is very frustrating as you want to get playing and the bad starts go against your win percentage.
3. There are games which are impossible to win unless you make proper guesses. No matter how much you try to figure out a move to continue on, there is no proper move that can be made without a guess. An example of this is putting a bunch of mines together in a corner.
3. Your percentage of winning would go way up if you could eliminate 1, 2 and 3 above. I like the game when you can think through all the moves without the game deciding whether you win or lose.

This used to offer simple, unobtrusive game play. Recent updates have made game play less enjoyable. First, they changed the flagging operation so that it would toggle all adjacent tiles. So, if your tap was a little off, you had to go back and reset a bunch of flags. Occasionally, it would erase tiles so that they appeared like cleared tiles. The latest updates adds a silly animation screen after each game. Then, after a tap, it pops up the settings panel which just gets in the way of starting a new game. Now, I am looking for a new minesweeper game whose authors know enough to focus on good game play without a compulsion to get all cutesy.

I don’t know what improvements and bug fixes were supposedly included with the last update, but you really screwed up MinesweeperClassic2 ’s responsiveness. The touch sensitivity is all squirrelly and glitchy now, with the board moving all over the place at the slightest touch—I use it zoomed in because it’s hard to accurately tap squares on a big difficult board—which causes inadvertent taps to adjacent squares when trying to flag a mine square, and failure to clear squares when tapping.

I don’t even want to play this game anymore because the screen is so wonky and aggravating. Hate it so much. Please fix this issue, or I’ll just go find a new minesweeper app from another developer. 😠

I downloaded this version of the game to my new iPhone to replace a favorite one that is no longer available. For the opening move it often uncovers only one tile and leaves no hint of where to start. Then at the end it gives a couple of tiles that require a guess for which one has the flag with no hint again. My old version never left the player guessing but always had a direction to move even if it was not obvious.

The gameplay is solid, you can zoom into and out of the puzzles, so far I’ve not had any problems with stats either! And for most of the puzzles I’ve not had problems, hence the 4 stars. There are only two outstanding issues with this game, the first is quite general: the beginning of a puzzle is a complete shot in the dark. Many have brought this up before, there isn’t enough information if, say, only one square is unveiled, to know where you can click, so you just have to be lucky for the next click. I’d say an easy way around this is to ensure that you can work through the whole puzzle opening from a corner, and ensuring there isn’t ever a mine in that corner. In this way we won’t lose games just because we didn’t click correctly, and this certainly won’t make the play easier considering how many untapped squares are left!

The second issue is that sometimes the numbers are incorrect, I’ve had a case where I lost a puzzle bc I unveiled a square that was adjacent to a “1” square that already had a guaranteed mine next to it. Then when the mines were unveiled there were two around the square that said “1”! Had the square said “2” I obviously wouldn’t have so nonchalantly unveiled the other square!

But thanks for creating MinesweeperClassic2 , other than the above it’s great.

While holding down for a flag sometimes it will instead register it as a selection and cause the game to think you are selecting a mine instead of laying a flag and thus failing the game. It’s happening so often that it’s difficult to play.

The upgrade is a disappointment, not an improvement, because:
1. MinesweeperClassic2 often hangs up for 60 to 90 seconds, nothing can be done until MinesweeperClassic2 reengages.
2. When you crash by hitting a mine, the closes instantly, so there’s no way to determine why you made an error.

I searched for this classic in a moment of nostalgia, and tried a few versions. This one is the best. It is easier to see when a flag is thrown down behind your finger, and it is just more responsive overall. This little game is every bit as addictive as I remember. Good work, developers!

I've had this Minesweeper app for a very long time and have really loved it. The latest update added a pop-up "y game lost", which is super-annoying. Please take it away! Otherwise it's very good, plays smoothly, the new stat page is well thought out.

I downloaded this game because it reminded me of the old PC game from my childhood. Since I have an iPhone, I was glad to know that they had a version available in the iTunes Store. MinesweeperClassic2 works without any issues, and it is a good time killer when you have some free time. Give it a shot for those slow days.

This game is pretty good, the amount of gray it has on the screen really tickles my pickle if you know what I mean. My only complaint is the fact that President Theodore Roosevelt would’ve not enjoyed it because it has WAY to much melon not enough water. The communist regime would enjoy it however because it has the numbers and the blocks and that really butters their toast.

I downloaded another minesweeper app first and it had SO many ads that I had to look for a better app and this is what I got. It’s the same game. It’s just as easy to play. But it has a fraction of the ads!
